Bodkin, M.P., when he addressed members of the National Party in the Anglican Hall, Otaki, last evening. The meeting, which was presided over by 'the Mayor of Otlaki, Mr T. O’Rourke, was particularly impressed by Mr Bodkin’ s address. Mi- Bodkin warned t.he people of Mew Zealand that they must do all within their power to fight the Socialist Government. Judging by the receptions being accorded Nationalist members throughout the, country, it appei.ired that people were anxious to co-operate in the fight against Socialism, and wherever they went, members were besieged by electors ■who were anxious to assist any movement ‘o protect their rights.
