“WILL FIGHT ON”
Mr. Webb and Buller Seat VIEW ON ULTIMATUM By Telegraph.—Press Association. Christchurch, November 3. “I will fight ou,” declared .Mr. I‘. C. Webb, the official Labour candidate in the Buller by-election, in a telephone conversation with the Christchurch “Star” from Westport this morning.
