(To the Editor.) Sir,—l see our mutual friend Michael McCarthy better known as J. 0. Taylor is „„ the war path advocating Toryism in Taranaki I wonder ,f this fanatic think, that thTropic whether Mr Massey wm"bo°'ab" J *£?„' iU n^y^eT^,I 'SS,:-^ enlous rotters. But. the country nnd the Government have been punished for putt ng a crowd at the head of affairs whose only q"alifi.cation was their extreme audacity. The cit'es ol the plague of old were never punished more severely ban New Zealand under tile law Allen administration. Pi ra t, the r-its Vt lacked them as If the Government is a m d nop. Then the strike plague came on Then he greatest war m history came on. The" Vsscy allowed to be imported the bl„ok Hague, winch deprived New Zealand of thorn.

He told mo one time that he worked for some Sco ch Lord. -1 f orsot ' „? s ™™? 'fie Lord paid him Rd „ cr d!ly and ™«; of porridge merely for sweeping the snails off the gravel walks. But it Uli appe r as it the Lords conservative salt on the por-' ridge worked to the marrow in Mr Taylor's bones, or Is it that "Mr. Michael" is■ asnWni* to politics once more, because it is not Ills' first attempt? On the solitary occasion e lost his deposit, so there is a chance of 3 cheap member for New Plymouth in "Michael." Reverting to Mr Massey, I remember when that gentleman was In Opposition how he used to denounce the Liberal policy, hut when "Bill" got in ho said to himself Til pretend to cam on the Liberal po'lcy. then thev can't siv .anything. But I'll take cave to look after mv Tory friends, and I'll buy up all their wasteand profitless lands while the land values are high, and we will put returned soldiers on it Anything will be enough fir the soldiers I don't care what will happen, to the soldiers so far as my loyal friends get their casli ' Bv the by, I remember; just before the war there was a small amount of somewhere In the neighbourhood of £7,000,000 that. Mr. Massey could not. or would not arcount for.
