A FARMERS' PARTY
WHAT TARANAKI WANTS. By Telegraph—Special Correspondent. Wanganui, January 20. The Farmers' Union, of Now Zealand has hitherto refrained from taking part in party politics, but the opinion was expressed at a meeting of the Taranaki Executive that it was time the farmers made a determined stand to combat certain hostile elements. The alteration of the constitution was urged, and tho following resolution 9 carried: — "That it be a remit to the next Dominion Conference, that with a view to the proper safeguarding of the interests of tho producers of the Dominion, the time has arrived when they should be represented by a united body of members of the House of Representatives pledged to protect those interests first of all; and that in order to promote the organisation of such a party, members of producing institutions be requested to support the movement and take any stops that aro necessary to originate the formation of such a party amongst members how in tho House." It .was contended that the Farmers' Union ought to organise not as aggressors, but as a protecting force, in the interests of producers.
