A QUESTION FOR CANDIDATES.
Dear Sir, —I cannot express liow greatly pleased I was with your anticonscription number. To my mind it will mean the death-knell of the conscription movement, and you deserve the thanks of every right-thinking man and woman in this Dominion. May your shadow never grow lees. Keep it going, and the victory is bound to come. I have only on occasions read your paper, but from this on you can ocmnft.on my taking it regularly. There is ono little point that has entered my
mind. It is this. .Seeing that some of our so-called Labor members at present in Parliament will bo standing next election, would you advise readers to put the following question to them at their mee^irugs : — Would you be in favour of inserting a. clause in. the Defence Act that in the event of any industrial crisis arising in this Dominion, the military mast not be called on to take any .part, but must be purely non-partisan? This, I think, would show the workers on what side our so-called Labor members, are. —1 am, etc.,
DUNEDIN
