“IN MANHOOD’S FLUSH”
SIR J. GUNSON SCOUTS FOOLISH RUMOURS BRISK AVONDALE MEETING “There have been foolish rumours concerning my health,” said Sir James Gunson in reply to a questioner at his Avondale meeting last evening, “and I want to say that I have not had a serious illness in my life, and I stand before you in the full flush of manhood to offer you my services.” The meeting was full of bright interjectory interludes, but the candidate experienced little difficulty in countering the onslaughts of his opponents. A little man in the front row not only heckled persistently during the main address, but also handed up a list of nine questions. In answering some of these, Sir James said he was in favour of capital punishment and would vote for. a Bible-in-Sehools measure. He also mentioned that he thought the Transport Board should have been elected on a wide franchise. In moving a vote of confidence in Sir James, Mr. E. E. Copsey advised electors to sink party and return Sir James to Parliament.
