THE UNITED PARTY
REFERENCES TO POLICY One of- the first political candidates announced to stand under the banner of the United Party, Mr. W. J. Broadfoot, who is to contest the Waitomo seat, gave his first electoral address at Te Awamutu this week. Referring to the policy of the new party, he said it had been prepared, and would be put before the country at the right time. They had. a land policy, he declared, which would settle the question, although it would take courage, patience, and the shouldering of responsibility to carry it into effect. In the framing of the party's policy the hi" issues' had, been faced, not sidestepped. To all who had criticised the United Party he would say that, in the old maxim, "Silence is golden," there was much wisdom. The United Party had been formed with the object of putting the primary producer on a fair footing. The party had sufficient money in sight to fight a Dominion campaign. "It is not the brewers' r money," ho declared; "it is not the Prohibitionists' money; and it is not big business money." . "When I speak next time in Te Awamutu," said Mr. Broadfoot, "the United Party's policy will be outlined to you, and neither you nor I will bo disappointed." s
