MR. NASH AT DARGAVILLE
(By Telecraph—Press Association.)
AUCKLAND, September 27.
Speaking at Dargaville, the Minister of Finance (the Hon. W. Nash) said that the United Party had destroyed the functions of the Arbitration Court.
A voice: We will destroy you, too.
Mr. Nash: We are carrying on where Richard John Seddon left off.
This was received with jeers, and Mr. Nash replied that every word being said by their opponents had been said against Seddon, under whom New Zealand enjoyed the best years of its history. Seddon had swept the polls, and he hoped the Labour Party would do the same thing in a fortnight's time. All that they were saying was that those who were not well off were being made better off now. If doing that was being a Socialist, then he was a Socialist.
