THE VACANT SEAT.
RAGLAN BY-ELECTION.
ADDRESS BY MR. ALLAN
" FREE AND INDEPENDENT."
(By Telegraph.—Own Correspondent.)
PUKEKOHE, Monday.
The first public address in the Raglan by-election campaign was given last night in the Buckland Hall, where about 80 people assembled to hear Mr. E. Allan, of Buckland, a Reform candidate.
After his address, in which he spoke chiefly of land settlement, Mr. Allan was asked whether he intended definitely to go to the poll or whether, he would submit his name to the Reform Selection Conference for the electorate, and abide by its selection of a candidate to officially represent Reform, Mr. Allan replied that he had told the Reform organiser that day, after t long discussion, that he would refuse to bind himself to anything at all. If the men who had requested him to stand met together and recommended him to hand in his name to the' Selection Conference he would do so, but meanwhile he was perfectly free and independent.
A vote of thanks was accorded Mr. Allan.
