A REMARK RESENTED

t[j "I have been endeavouring to keep f!f this campaign above the level of pers? sonalities and petty party politics," §5* said Mr. O. C. Mazengarb, Nationalist s§ candidate for Wellington Suburbs, at If Lower Hutt last evening. "Perhaps S that is why I have invariably finishH ed up on the best of terms with the sf audience, some of whom come many ?S miles to interject but end up by joinM, ing in the applause and concurring £in the customary vote of thanks. I If thought my opponent was taking a f| similar view, but I notice from toM night's 'Post' that he said to an Sf audience at Khandallah, 'If you want Urtp see your fellow-workers dismissed, vote for Mr. Mazengarb.' That is a type of personal appeal entirely unworthy of a political candidate. Far contemplating dismissals, I have revealed plans whereby the unemployed and the men on public works j Will be given the one thing they want most, the thing that will do most good for all of us, namely, the opportunity of jobs in private enterprise." (Applause.)
