Party members knew they had the j support of the industrial sections in I the city electorates, and, realising i'that they could not get into power without the help of some other section. they went after the small farmer, . and on that occasion they got him,” remarked Hon. A. Hamilton in the course of an address to the National Party in Wellington yesterday. “They j had a lot of luck, for the farmer is not in any sense allied to industrial labour, as he has no affinity with the coal miners, wharf labourers, seamen, and such-like industrialists who form i the back bone of the Labour movement.”
