NOISY MEETINGS
1 Sir, —May I congraUilate you on your editorial in today's (Friday's) issue; and x also on the fair-minded-ness With which yo.u are reporting the election '"campaign in this district. A strong Labour supporter myself, I believe that everyone is entitled to his or her own opinion, but I also believe in fair 'play for a; J.
"Democratic" would like the ti'Uih abou ; . Mr Sainton sj Waimare meeting. The truth is that a few ill-mannered persons had the ighoriance to keep up a 'running commentary" all through the candidate's speech. Thev had neither the sense nor the good manners to allow those who wished to hear the speaker's views in peace. A few interjections admittedly add spice to any political meeting but persistent interruptions tend to-pall after after a time. As there is a time set for questions, why not use it intelligently? There are people who like to hear both sides of a question and judge accordingly. Yours etc.,. FAIR PLAY.
