WET OR DRY?
At the end of her address of approximately an hour and a half at th« Wellington City Mission Hall, Taranaki Street, last night, Mrs. Knox Gilmer, Liberal candidate for Wellington North, showed temporarily slight signs of huskiness. She was asked by a man if she was in favour of prohibition or continuance. "Are you a wet or a dry?" he put it bluntly amidst laughter. There was renewed laughter when Mrs. Gilmer merely raised a glass of water to her lips and drank. "Oh! I see—dry," was the pointed comment of the questioner.
