CORRESPONDENCE.
SELF-ELECTING VERACITY. • To-the Editor. Sir,—ln your issue of September G Mr. Robert 'Bakewell exhibits himself in a very unfavorable light, inasmuch as he practically insinuates that he did not say that the present directors of the Moa Dairy Company were "self-elected." Why, Sir, that was the gravamen of his charge! "In my letter I did not use the words self-elected," Mr. •Bakewell declares; hut your readers know better, and your newspaper files tell a different story. The poor man was so completely "bowled out" that lie had to raise smoke clouds to cover up his crushing defeat. If he had had any intellectual clarity he would have come out like a man and confessed that he had badly blundered. Base inuendoes and vile insinuations compose the greater part of what ho lias to say about me; hut he should remember that, although lie has been more than twice as long in tho district as I have been, the shareholders of the Moa Dairy Company will not have him on the directorate at any price; whereas this vile person whom lie is so anxious to despise has been elected three times in succession as a director. These things being so, it would appear almost certain that some other objectionable tenant had been in occupation of his top turret before Mr. Pig made good his present possession there. Mr. McMahon will doubtless tell Mr. Bakewell all he needs to know about casein at its present price; but I will bet him a young pig that, within two years after the war, casein will ha more than twice its present value.—l am, etc., J. 0. TAYLOR. Waiongona, September G, 1917.
