MR. BUNN AT ROYAL OAK.
The Royal Oak Public Hall was packed to excess last evening and numbers outside listened from open windows to the address delivered by Mr. Bertram Bunn, Reform candidate. The speaker briefly criticised the policies of the United and the Labour parties, and declared that the election issue was really between Reform and Labour. He then devoted his attention to a justification of the Reform party's past administration and of its future programme.
In regard to unemployment he advocated more activity by the Highways Board in road construction, work on the Morningside deviation and the construction of the proposed Pokeno-Paeroa railway. In reply to a question he stated that he favoured a two-issue ballot paper for the licensing question. The candidate, who spoke for nearly two hours, received an excellent hearing interspersed with good-humoured Interjections, and at the close received a hearty vote of thanks, after which a •sail for three chcera for Mr. Jordan was lustily responded to.
