MR. POLSON INDIGNANT
WAS WELL RECEIVED AT BLENHEIM “RED-HERRING RAILWAYS”
Press Association NELSON, Today. Addressing farmers at Brigluwater last evening. Air. W. J. Poison, president of the Farmers’ Union, took strong exception to the report sent out, of his Blenheim meeting, which, he said, made it appear that he had only just escaped with his skin from an infuriated Alarlborough crowd. On the contrary, he had had a good hearing and a cordial meeting. When Mr. Poison finished his address. Air. A. Gould, president of the Xelson Progress League, said he understood that questions would not be allowed. He was, however, pleased to hear that the Alarlborough meeting was as Mr. Poison described it. Mr. Gould said he would like to disillusion Air. Poison about his statement that the Alidland Railway area had been shaken.
Air. Poison objected to Mr. Gould continuing. He did not want “the wretched red-herring railway” thrown up at him. "In this end of the South Island.’’ said Mr. Poison, “the railway transcends everything else. Railways were used in my address as a point to illustrate a far bigger question.” Air. Gould: There is a difference of opinion. Air. Poison was accorded a cordial vote of thanks for his address.
