POLITICAL.
A DISORDERLY MEETING.
Per Press (Association.
Taihape, November 23
Mr H. M. Speed, “Reform” candidate for Waimarino, addressed 250 people here on Saturday night. Tlie meeting was disorderly, especially towards the end, when certain remarks of the speaker provoked choruses of groans and hisses, mingled with cheers for Sir Joseph Ward. The candidate confined himself to exploding allegations against the Massey Amdinistration, and comparing the records of the two Governments, as shown by facts and figures. A motion of thanks to the candidate failed to find a seconder, and the meeting broke up in disorder. THE WESTLAND SEAT. Greymouth, November 23.
Mr J. A. Murdoch (“Reform” candidate opposing Mr T. E. Y. Seddon) has withdrawn from the Westland seat. He explains that lie finds his former active association with and support of the old Liberal Party being used in an unfair manner to prejudice his candidature. In'the present position of international affairs, he considers there is nothing more distasteful than a bit-terly-contested election.
