WOULDN'T VOTE REFORM'

mr. mnnre> declaration.

UNITED PARTY ONLY

At Kingston Hall last evening, Mr. G. C. Munns, United party candidate for Roskill, definitely stated his position in regard to a no-confidence motion in the House. "I could no more stand on this platform and 'slate' Reform, and then go into Parliament and support them, than I could fly, but I could not see Mr. Harry Holland as Prime Minister," he stated. "We are out to put no party on the Treasury benches but the United party. If we are not strong enough to take charge, we will not be the servile supporters of any other party, but will remain a separate and distinct party. But you must return us to the Treasury benches if you would have our programme carried out." Mr. Munns traversed the record of the Reform party's term of office, and especially attacked the Prime Minister for alleged misrepresentation in regard to civil servant's pay. In the Post and Telegraph Department the men were ■till suffering from the cot in wages, notwithstanding the ateuratiees of Mr. Coates, who was stumping the country saying the men had been compensated After covering the United party's programme, Mr. Munns received a unanimous vote of thanks and confidence; aid, in return, asked for support, not obV for himself, bat for all Ufcflted party'candldatea.
