A FALLEN IDOL.
A LABOR MEMBER BACKSIIDES
I By telegraph, Press Ass’n, Copyright Perth, Oct, 12. Mr Daglish states that be does not in--1 tend to stand as a Labor candidate. He I stropgly objects to a section of the pledge providing that all questions should be submitted to oauous. The Cubinet and a oauous could not work hand in band, Either the Government must control the canons, which would render that body valueless, or the oauous control the Cabinet, which | makes responsible Ministers creatures of irresponsible members. Therefore, if for no other reasoD, he would not sign tho pledge. There was enother plank to whioh he could not subscribe ; that was the non-alienation of laud. Experience showed him that it oouldnot be carried out without destroying the policy of land settlement.
I Melbourne, Oct. 12. j Mr Wilson, commenting on Mr Dagj fish's views, said he had not found the difficulties complained of. The Labor party wsb oleofed .pp p clear-out programme, #od therefore there was no room for differences of opinion between Ministers and the caucus. The trouble in Western Australia appeared to be that tho oauous was opt too pressing on Mr Daglieb, but ipo generous. He made no attempt while in office £0 carry out the programme of tbe party.
