POLITICAL.
At a largely attended meeting of the Wellington branch of the Women’s Reform League, held this week the following resolution was passed : —(i) In view of the piesent political crisis and the probability of an early appeal to the electors, the women’s branch of the Reform League pledges itself to do its utmost to secure the defeat of the credited Government party, which is in the ignominious position of being supported by brewers and monopolists, and is kept in office only by the broken pledges of two Labour members and the casting vote of the Speaker; (2) that some explanation is due by this League to those Oppositionists in Otaki who at the League’s request worked and voted for Mr Robertson, believing him to be a man whose political pledges could be relied on, and, further, that this League urges the women of New Zealand to unite in a resolute effort to remove from office a party which welcomed such men as Messrs Robertson and Payne into their ranks, knowing that they had broken faith with their constituents.
