MR LYSNAR.
(To the Editor of the Times). Sir,—l am rather surprised that Mr Common-sense does not show more of the wisdom required to deal with such an adversary, I have watched that gentleman’s career for a couple of years past, and am of the opinion that he is ; the advertiser- ' Nothing occurs but that our learned friend is up to time with an advertisement intended to give his opinions on the subject, but apparently with the main object - in view being the keeping of the name before the public. Ido not blame our friend for this. On the other hand I must admit the advantage of it, for in this electorate there is -surely no namebetter known than that of Mr Douglas' Lysnar. Even further afield his fame has travelled;- for -when in Canterbury I found that some people had read Mr Lysnar’s articles appealing in the Gisborne Times ; I had merely noted the headings, while the Southerners had read the articles, and been impressed with the sagacity of the writer. Advertising is a grand thing when you can do it in this inexpensive way. If Marconi came to Gisborne Mr W." D. L. would probably prove that wireless ' telegraphy is an impossibility'here be- ‘ cause the air is too solid, or the sun tod hot, or the moon too pale lam etc., SUPERIOR SENSE.’
