CORRESPONDENCE
NATIONAL NOMINEES
(To the Editor.)
Sir, —Your correspondent M. Laracy says he doubts whether even one of the old Liberals will join the Nationalist party mentioned by Mr. F. W. Doidge. Well, Sir, here is one who was for over 40 years very closely associated with the . old Liberal party, who in his youth suffered for his association with that party, and made many sacrifices to uphold the good old party whose motto was "Equal Opportunity to all; favours to none." I will have great pleasure in assisting Mr. Doidge and his associates at the forthcoming election, my chief reasons being that we are rapidly being socialised, that is told what -we are to do, how much we are or .are not to do, and as a logical sequence we will be very shortly told when we are to go, as is done in that vast country, Russia. Neither do I or many of my old friends believe in the system followed in the broadcasting appointment—and in many other instances. There are many other reasons, why I and most of the old Liberals will vote for the National party at, next election, but as your space is 'valuable I will not trespass, further except to say that the Labour party have a minority of votes of over 70,000 and in my opinion we can easily make it 170,000 at next election.—l am, etc.,' ■ ■-..-■...■ ■■--
