"CHOOSE YE WHOM YE WILL SUPPORT."
MR MASSEY ON THE LYT-
TELTON ELECTION.
Referring to the result of the Lyttelton election, Mr Massey, Prime Minister said:~" Our man put up a great fight, though he was not successful in securing a majority. Remembering that at the last general election we were over 2000 votes behind, whereas now we«are only a little over two hundred behind, there is no reason to be despondent. On the contrary the figures show that the old so-called Liberal Party is defunct, and that the public opinion has veered round in a way which must be satisfactory to every supporter' of the Government, and every member of the Reform Party. The position is now quite clear. It is a question now between moderate Liberalism and the supporters of law and order on one side, and on the other Social Democracy, which, being interpreted, means Red Fedism and syndicalism.
To the people of this country I would say: " Choose ye whom ye would serve," or, rather, " Choose ye whom, ye will support," and it is not at all difficult to predict what the result will be."
