d. W. MUNRO FOR DUNEDIN / WEST. James W. Munro, Socialist candidate for Duhedin West, is a Noav; Zealander by'birth, having been, born in OtagO. He is a baker by trade, and at an early age became foreman of one of the chief bakeries at Dunedin. Though a foreman, he >' Avas a strong unionist, and took an active part in the Bakers' Union. .. v Shortly after the union secured nn award .-Munro-' left his employment and went into the bakery business on his own account, in partnership Avith Com. Neilsen, establishing the firm of Munro and Neilsen. Refusing to join the "ring," the

firm were fought by the Master Bakers' Association, and the Millers' Association, but they beat them both. In. 1908 J. Munro contested Dunedin West against J. A. Millar, being the nominee,~of the P.L.L. Though practically uiiknoAA-n he polled over 2300 votes. Shortly after s the election, Munro joined the Socialist Party, and is iioav President of the Dunedin branch, and was also chairman of the last Dominion Socialist Conference. He is a staunch adA r ocate of industrial 'unionism and revolutionary socialism. His effort against Millar' on this occasion, it is believed, Avill be even better than before. Possessing courage, energy, and determination, and backed by a body of sterling fighters, Munro can be expected to shake Millar out of his seat. He is an ideal candidate for a work-ing-class Dunedin constituency. He deserA'es the support of every Avorking man and woman. Rally around "Jim" Munro, AA'orkers of Dunedin, and get him to the top of the poll.
