“Considering that Mr Lang, some eighteen months ago, secured over four to one of the voted polled, and a majority not far short of ten thousand, I feel I can claim a great moral [triumph,” said Mr Percy the opponent of Mr Lang for the Auburn seat.

“I wag handicapped by threats of intimidation and terrorism, 'which included the employment of a gang to assault my workers during my campaign. I was more than once threatened personally. Langism is a most pernicious and destructive influence in politics. Mr H. Gordon Bennett, president of the Chamber _of Manufacturers in New South Wales, stated that manufacturers felt much relieved at the result, for they foresaw, if the Lang Party were returned, a gradual dcstiuction of their industries for the purpose of Socialisation. “The result gives us a new lease of life, and new hopes for the rapid recovery of our lost trade.

Mr Lang commented: “The people have given, their judgment upon tire oa.se ate they saw it, and because we believe that the, people alone shall govern, we accept their verdict, and I sincerely hope the amount of suffering to be borne along the road that the people have chosen to go will not be as great 'as I fear it will be. The Labour Party will continue to .fight as tenaciously as ever, awaiting the hour (which will come sooner than is expected), when the Labour Party will -again be called upon to lead our fellow Australians out of the wilderness. The pal icy of suppression and distortion adopted by the metropolitan Press succeeded in misleading the people, , ; and the electors have voted for a. policy without realksing its frightful consequences-”
