POLITICAL
A question at Mr. Robert McNab's Palmerston meeting said that ho knew of a man who had obtained some £05,000 under the Advances to Settlers Act. Probably our readers are aware that the limit is £3OOO, but no doubt there are some people who will believe the £65,000 yarn. The following plain language is from the Waimate Witness:—"ln the worst days of petrified and putrified conservatism, anywhere, in any country, nothing more hopelessly or revoltingly reactionary has ever been 'heard than the assertion that a member of Parliament who has not "material interests" in a constituency is unfit to be entrusted with political representation." We wonder what those who have been called, upon to "repel the invader" will-think of this straight thrust.
