"AN OBNOXIOUS CABLEGRAM."
MR T. E. TAYLOR'S ACTION. CHRISTCHRCH NORTH ELECTORS PROTEST. DEPUTATION WAIT ON THE PREMIER. By Telegraph—Press Association. CHRISTCHURCH, May 13. A deputation of Christchurch North electors waited on Sir Joseph Ward to-day, and assured him that they were in perfect accord with the Dreadnought offer. As electors they felt indignant that the member recently elected to represent the people of Christchurch North should have taken upon himself to send an obnoxious cablegram to Mr Asquith. They had not been able in open meeting, owing to the tactics used, to express their feeling of indignation and had therefore taken this means of entering their protest. One member of the deputation said Mr T. E. Taylor was not disloyal, but had made a blunder. He was a blunderer constitutionally, and could not help it. Sir Joseph Ward, in reply, said that he thoroughly understood the motive prompting such a representative assembly. On behalf of himself and his colleagues he expressed appreciation if the sentiments eloquently expressed.
