NATIONAL PARTY
PARTICULARS OF RAPID EXPANSION 'TI STATEMENT BY LEADER (By Telegraph—Press Association.) HAMILTON, This Day. “I am delighted to tell you,” the Hon A. Hamilton, Leader of the National Party, observed in his address last evining, “that the wave of support of the National Party that started to make itself felt about a year ago, and which has gathered strength ever since, continues in a most remarkable way. From every part of the country, from cities, towns and country districts, come the same encouraging reports of steady progress and rapidly increasing membership. Today we have over 600 branches, 9000 executive members, and over 100,000 financial members. One of the most pleasing features of our organisation is the willingness of thousands of the younger people to come forward and lend a hand in organising against the forces of Socialism. Busy people are making time to assist in our organisation, and, if one thing pleases me more than another, it is the splendid type of candidate we have succeeded in bring out. Most of them are native-born New Zealanders and nearly all of them are on the right side of fifty.”
