MR. BEAD LOOKS AHEAD
Mr: J. Read was accorded a. very patient hearing. The crowd was very quiet-while he spoke. Ho returned thanks to those who had voted for him, and particularly to'those who had worked so willingly on his behalf during the whole of the campaign. "I fought hard," he said, "as hard as I could. I have fallen on this occasion along with some others, but the time will come when I will'not fall. (Cheers.) The time will come when the Labour Party will provide the Government of this country." He referred to the fact that tho Labour Party had the press against them. In time, he said, the party would ho wise enough to institute a- press.of its own in order to counteract "the lies and filth directed at the Labour Party." Jeers followed, and <t section began to coiirit out the speaker.l ■■ ''I said after theMayoralty .-election that -Mr,--Luke ..was. elected by a., minority vote," said Mi1.,. I'ead.-- "He has been elected by a' minority vote again."' When the ' people were better educated to their position and made to realise that the bread-and-butter struggle was the only struggle, Labour would not have to ask for votes. Labour candidates would be rushed with votes'.^ (Cheers.)"-' •■'•■■ ■
