A WOMAN SAYS—

GLEANING OF MODERN POLITICAL SAWS MRS. PATERSON ON HUSTINGS A small, kindly-disposed group of <-»rey Lynn electors assembled at the corner of Formby and Point Chevalier Roads last evening to hear a speech irom Mrs. Louisa Paterson, the Independent Labour candidate. Mrs. Paterson told her listeners that her object in standing was, right or wrong, to present the woman’s point of view. Lie following is a gleaning of sayings Irom her speech: Some say I’m splitting vote—well, it’s no use splitting straws, we’ve sot to fight solid—Labour’s the only nope.

This killing of young veal for the People in England who are lower down than you are is wrong. I’ve lived on u . farm and I wouldn’t eat veal under slx months old, and I advise you not to eat it.
