THE ELECTION
Sir,—l also was very surprised at your reporter’s account of Mr Holyoake’s meeting. It certainly gives no impression of an enthusiastic audience, 95 per cent, of them solidly with the speaker, applauding every Important point he made, and there were many. Rather is prominence given to tne few interjections, often unintelligible to the audience, and dealt with always in Mr Holyoake’s own inimitable style. Mention is not even made of the ovation and musical honours he received on appearing on the stage, nor of the prolonged cheering at the close of his address. Surely your reporter must have been looking at things with a jaundiced eye on this occasion.—Yours, etc.. TRUE REPORTING, PLEASE. August 30. 1951.
