A STAUNCH ALLY
A COMPLIMENT
Mr. O. C. Mazengarb,. Nationalist candidate for Wellington East, had one staunch ally in his audience at St. Giles' Hall, Kilbirnie, last night. Indeed, the candidate found his cooperation a little embarrassing at times. At one point the s.a. proceeded to answer a question put by an interjector, when Mr. Mazengarb interceded, and tactfully suggested that he (the candidlte) might be able to answer the question a little better. The s.a. (politely): Oh. excuse me. Mr. Mazengarb (just as politely): Thank you. But you will excuse me, won't" you? ■ ■ ■ It was all so nicely done.
A compliment to Mr. O. C. Mazen- i garb's professional ability was paid by an interjector at St. Giles' Hall, Kilbirnie, last night. "I would like to have you defending me if I were up before Sir Michael Myers," declared the interjector. Mr. Mazengarb: Oh. I would not like you to do anything wrong. The interjector: I would not mind doing something wrong if I could get you to defend me. i When the audience had finished j laughing, Mr. Mazengarb suggested to j this potential client that if wore bent j on doing anything wrong, he should not do it before the 27th, as "I will not be able to help you."
