Mr. R. McK. Morison presided. Miss Melville said the Government had practised economy even at the scacrifice of popularity. "Give us a little transport," called a voice after the candidate had touched on land questions. ".* Y m S ive y° u transport from the United party's point of view," replied Miss Melville. *
Another Voice: Give us your own Miss Melville: No, I am going" to give you what the United party says They say property values have suffered from the infamous Omnibus Traffic Act tw'+'w 6 " 0 Mi f S Melvi "e declared that that was merely an appeal to prejudice and not to reason. If people had no reason she could make no impression on them.
