NOW ENDED
"ROSES, ROSES ALL THE
WAY"
Speaking at the opening of the National Party conference yesterday, Mr. F. W. Doidge, member for Tauranga, declared that it was not surprising that a Government in whose ranks a rift had occurred should endeavour to use a form of attack aimed to suggest lack of quality in Mr. Hamilton as Leader of the National Party.
The gap in the Government ranks today was very real, said Mr. Doidge. The Prime Minister found his position of "roses, roses, all the way" ended. As a Santa Claus, his knapsack was empty. He had robbed every political hen-roost, and the people Md realised they were misled. In the difficulties and complications, it was inevitable that the people must turn to a man they could trust. That man was Adam Hamilton. The National Party was a unified, democratic organisation built around him, and he had given to its work every ounce of the great strength of his body and mind in the task of leadership. Undoubtedly he commanded respect and affectionate loyalty both from his Parliamentary team and the members of the party.
