ELECTION CAMPAIGN MR J. J. MAHER AT CROSS CREEK. (“Times-Age" Special.) Mr J. J. Maher (National candidate for the Wairarapa seat) addressed a meeting at Cross Creek during the weekend. He was given an attentivehearing. Mr Maher dealt with many matters concerning railway employees in particular, and also elaborated the National Party policy. The candidate departed somewhat from the usual type of political address inasmuch that he suggested that he could probably talk to them on matters that they were not 1 directly interested in, and invited his hearers to ask questions, and when . giving his replies he amplified the answers and dealt very fully with each subject. This manner of address cer- ’ tainly kept the audience alert and interested. WOMEN’S INSTITUTE MEETING AT KAHUTARA.
