NATIONAL PARTY.

ELECTORATE ORGANISING. Details attendant upon the appointment of a group organiser within the Wellington division were discussed at a meeting of representatives of the National Party Otaki, Palmerston North, Manawatu, Oroua, and Rangitikei electorates in Feilding on Monday night. An apology tor absence was received from the Wanganui delegates, the other electorate involved in the group. Mr J. H. Perrett, Ma'nawatu’, was elected to the chair, and there were also present Messrs E. B. Gordon and A. Way (ltangitikei), A. Campbell and C. V. Jewell (Oroua), W. E. Durward and L. I. Pliinmer (Palmerston North), J. D. Avery and Barclay (Otaki). A telegram regretting his inability to attend was received from Major J. M. Power. Dominion secretary of the party. The question of the engaging of an organiser to work the whole group was fully gone into, delegates detailing the procedure adopted in each electorate in the past. Recognition was given to the high state of efficiency' reached in the ltangitikei and Oioua electorates through the close co-opera-tion of the country branches with electorate headquarters, and the consensus of opinion was that, if an organiser was required, the lines adopted by Otaki, where a secretary-organ-iser had been appointed, should be followed. _ J A resolution was finally carried, on tbe motion of Messrs Gordon and Durward, that the meeting approved of the plan of operation adopted by Otaki and was of the opinion that each electorate should arrange its own organising.
