"It makes my blood boil sometimes when I hear people say 'What did the Jjibpuils do?' «iid Mr. Browne, Liberal candidate, in his most vehement tones at his Kelburn meeting on Wednesday, "l'ou might as well ttiy 'What didn't they do?' —ami always in the face of strenuous opposition." He went on to tell some things the Liberals did, mentioning two pieces of legislation only, and thoso two so old as the Factories Act and tho Truck Act. It was a great pity, he said, that more was not known of this great record. And in a magnificent anti-climax he shouted—"lt should be preached in the schools." Air. Massey and some other gentlemen told the people of New Zealand eight years ago quite a lot about what the Liberals had failed to do. Siuco then tlioro has been a war,' and no doubt the Liberal achievements have been crowded out of the school curriculum, as out. of political speeches of up-to-date men.
