MR NEWMAN’S BILL.
Speaking at an anti-gambling meeting in Wellington last night, Mr Newman, M.P., described the Bill which he had introduced into Parliament this session for the abolition of bookmakers. He was not seeking to make any party capital out of his Bill, and he felt that even a private member, introducing such a Bill, had reason to expect success with it, if public opinion was with him. Since he had asked leave to introduce the Bill (which proposed that no more bookmakers’ licenses should be issued) he had received numerous sympathetic messages. (Applause). He urged that no compromise should be permitted, lor compromise was the curse of politics. He would require earnest support in the matter, and he hoped that when the Bill came up in the House on July 13th public feeling would be favourable to the proposed repeal of the objectionable clause.
