"OUT WITH LEADERS!”
MRS. YOUNG AND LABOUR THEIR VIEWS TOO EXTREME Press Association WELLINGTON, Friday. Interesting statements were made to-day by Mrs. Margaret Young, Independent Labour candidate for Wellington Central, at a meeting of women. She expressed opinion that the sooner the present leaders of the Labour Party were out of the country the better it would be.
“I have always been up against the heads of the Labour Party,” she said. “I saw a chance for Wellington Central. and I decided to stand.” Her husband had started the Labour movement 25 years ago in New Zealand. He had always been loyal to the party, but had not been fairly treated. “My nomination came as news to him,” she remarked. “Things are not altogether pleasant between us. Perhaps I will be able to convince him in the end that what I am doing is right.” The Labour leaders, she declared, would bind one hand and foot. She was really working alone and was doing the best she could for humanity. “I am not following Messrs. Holland, Fraser and Semple. Their views are too extreme.” concluded Mrs. Young. The candidate was asked how she would vote if a question affecting Labour arose in the House. She replied she would not vote with Mr. Holland on anything. She did not intend to be moulded by him.
