The Manawatu Herald. Saturday, November 25, 1911. NOTES AND COMMENTS.
According to our Palmerston evening contemporary, Mr Moucklon is reported to have said in his address at Glen Oroua that "if Prohibition were earned he would leave the colony.” We can't believe that this candidate would be guilty ot such a statement. In any case the remark will detrimentally affect him, among a certain section of his supporters. We have heard Mr Monckton say that he is in favour of the threelifths majority on the liquor question, and that so recent as in his address at Oroua Bridge, in this particular he stands ou the same platform with a number ol other political candidates ou both sides of politics, but to say if Prohibition were carried he would leave the colony is either a piece ol wilful misrepresentation which, if true, would harm his chances of success in any constituency and brand him as a political ignoramus. No doubt the candidate will set the matter at rest in his address at the Coronation Hall ou Monday night.
