LABOUR PARTY.
ADDRESS AT MASTERTON. Per Press Association. MASTERTON, Jan. 27. Allegations that, with the election in the offing, the Labour Party was being made the target of gross misrepresentations and lies were made by Mr J. Robertson, member for Masterton, when speaking at a meeting addressed to-night by Rev. A. H. Nordmeyer, M.P. for Oamaru. “Every weapon will be used to defeat us at tlie elections,” Mr Robertson said, “and an indication of what is to come may be seen in certain journals. Had it not been for the fact that we have been able to broadcast the Parliamentary debates, and if the people had not had the money to instal wireless sets in their homes, I believe that the whole of the people of this country would have been grossly misled as to what our party has been doing during the past two years. After, comparing what .they heard over the air with what appeared in the following day’s papers, I believe that the people have lost most of their faith in the accuracy of the Press reports as far as the activities of the Labour Party are concerned.”
