LABOUR SYMPATHY
NATIONALIST'S MEETING
APPEAL FOR FAIR HEARING
(By Telegraph—Press Association.) BLENHEIM, This Day. j Mr. E. F. Healy, National candidate for Marlborough, who is attempting to regain the seat he lost to Labour last election, addressed a large audience in the Town Hall last night, when he had a lively reception from interjectors. Interruptions were frequent from the start and it appeared that the candidate might experience difficulty in completing his speech. As a result the chairman of the Blenheim branch of the Labour Party, Mr. W. A. Sanders, anticipated the Mayor, Mr. C. T. Smith, who presided,' in appealing for a fair hearing. He pointed out that Labour speakers were always accorded attention. From this on the meeting was more orderly until question time, when the pent-up feelings of Labour enthusiasts found I expression in a barrage of questions I which kept the candidate busy for over half an hour. A well-known Labour supporter moved a vote of thanks which was carried with acclamation.
