AUDIT PROPOSED.
POLITICAL PARTY FUNDS.
DISCUSSION" BY FARMERS.
(By Telegraph.—l>ress Association.)
WELLINGTON, Friday
"This is an attempt to obtain clean politics, or cleaner politics than we have at present," said Mr. A. E. Robinson, when moving, at the annual conference of the New Zealand Farmers' Union to-day, an Auckland remit urging that the funda of political parties should be subject to audit by a Supreme Court judge, and that moneys spent by any political organisation should be open to inspection in the same way as moneys spent by individual candidates.
After half an hour's discussion, during which several delegates expressed the view that the debate was unworthy of the union, and the subject outside its scope, the remit was lost by 26 votes to 23.
