Masterton, Last Night
Five resignations of members, four of'them from farmers who objected to Mr. W. J. Poison being both Dominion president and member of Parliament were before the Wairarapa provincial executive of die Farmers’ Union to-day. The secretary and several individual members stated that many members who accused Miv Poison of bringing party polities into the union were threatening to resign.
In tire course -of a lengthy discussion, little, if anything, was said in criticism of Mr. Poison’s attitude to .the taxation proposals and some members endorsed this attitude in whole or part. All agreed in praising his services to the union.
Mr. R. S. Pilmer moved that a remit be sent forward, providing that the Dominion president, on entering Parliament, should automatically resign his position. Mi*. Palmer's motion was carried on the voices.
The executive also passed a resolution instructing the secretary to write to any members who had resigned, asking them to reconsider their- decision.
