LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.

The Reform Campaign

Sir, -Mr Roger's suggestion ..ould have boon an excellent one if he had made it early onough, and not kept it up his sleeve until the efforts of Sir Joseph Ward and the Labour candidates havo made Mr Massey's return to power practically cortain. L, will no doubt gratify Mr Rogers to learn that at the meeting of Mr .Massey's supporters to which he refers it was suggested that I should do for Franklin what Mr Rogers considers I ought to do for the Dominion at large, but the position in Franklin was deemed so safe that such action was held to be unnecessary. Converts to Reform are as plentiful as blackberries now-a days, but it is seldom we secure so stalwart a Badical as Mr Rogers, and it is refreshing to find him at one with the Prime Minister's Franklin supporters in thinking the platform of Reform ought to be widely disseminated. But I have a little cause for quarrel with him about the sentiments ho attributes to me regarding the "back-blockers." I do not desire any such tate for them. In fact, I did not even know there were any back-blockers in Franklin.
