MR. POLSON REPLIES
“FACTS MISREPRESENTED” UNION NOT POLITICAL BODY Press Association. NEW PLYMOUTH, Tuesday A reply to the attack made by the Hon. A. D. McLeod, Minister of Land** on the politics of Mr. W. J. Poison an the tactics of the Country Party, made by Mr. Poison in an address t electors at Okau to-day. . , Mr. Poison referred to the Minister “misrepresentation of fact” in J speech at Waitoa. It was, he sai Mr. McLeod’s usual method of rep. It was so well known that he (MrPolson) had kept the Farmers’ n J°‘ out of politics, and that he was no l member of the Country Party, that* was not necessary to answer Mr. M Leod on the point. . . The fact was that the Ministeranger was due to the fact that speaker was opposed to Reform, apparently only Farmers’ Union dents, who, like Mr. J. Bitchener, supported Reform, should be avow to voice political opinions, contmu Mr. Poison. The allegation that Jr (Mr. Poison) had used the tion of the Farmers’ Union or it to be used for political was grotesquely untrue. The fact wathat Mr. McLeod had been thwart** in his endeavours to exploit the Farm ers* Union for political hence his rage.
