Raglan Campaign in Full Swing

A CALL FOR YOUTH UNOFFICIAL REFORMER'S ADDRESS (Frotn Our Oicu Co-respondent.) rr ,,, _ „ r TUAKAU, To-day. I Reform Party was rapidly . * ssurnm 9 the status of an Old Men’s Club, but the ranks of tne Opposition were filled with young and virile men. Youth was a paramount quality in the House of Representatives. In this way Mr. W. J. Taylor justified j hi 3 debut as unofficial Reform candi- ; date for the Raglan seat. He opened campaign at Tuakau last evening. In his opinion, Mr. Coates was a . strong man but he was surrounded by

too many weak men who were carry - ing him in the wrong direction. New Zealand was noted for robust imperialism and Mr. Taylor believed that it should be maintained. He defended the Singapore liase and Imperial preference, advocated a better trial for dairy control, cheap manures and cheat, money through the extension of the State Advances. Ho believed that the local bodies could spend their own resources to better advantage than could the Main Highways Board. Bible reading in schools he thought should not be pressed until teachers also fa.oured it.
