BUCK, BUCK, RISE UP!
'" Where are the friends of my youth ? Where are the boys of the old brigade ?" May well say Wilkinson during the Bay of Islands contest. A Reformer to the backbone, who polled 2488 last election, against Reed (then a Wardite out - and - out) who polled 2671,0r 183 ahead; and now to be thrown over by Mr Massey because the Boss of the Show thinks Mr Reed stands the best chance of winning, is a problem to be conjured with. Sir Joseph Ward must be smiling with his Baby Bribe of £5 up his sleeve, because it's a clear case of " Hammer, Nail or Block," which we used to play at when we were boys together, oi in other words, " Buck, buck, how many fingers do I hold up? Five hundred! Five hundred you say, and five hundred there are, Buck, Buck, rise up." —Elected !
