ADDRESS TO FARMERS
Mr. Polson Expected to Avoid Politics By Telegraph.—-Press Association. Dannevirke, May 15. A question cropped up at a meeting of the Hawke’s Bay Dairy Companies’ Association as to Hie capacity in which Mr. W. J. Polson would address a meeting under the auspices of the Farmers’ Union, to be held here next week — whether as president, of the union or as member tor Stratford. The chairman, Mr. B. Gunderson, said he did not know and it might, be difficult for Mr. Polson himself to state his position. Mr. J. G. Doyle stressed the point that Hie Farmers’ Union was a noupolitieal body and if a man was going to make political capital out of a nonpolitical body it was bordering on Hie absurd. 'The chairman said that Mr. Polson might confine his remarks to a president’s viewpoint, and it was to be hoped he would do so.
