CANDIDATES FOR PUBLIC BODIES.
TO T 5« BDITOR. Si r! _Yoiif' correspondent “Tolerance!’ (jught to be a little truer to his nom. de plume; .1 have never claimed ; to belong to a.“ free-from-fault Labour Party,’’, and there are people in the Labour Party who will never get a vote from me, so why impute that I lay a claim to infallibility for any party? In my first letter I did not discredit M those* who represent the Citizens’. Association,” as that is an impossibility. One cannot discredit something as ethereal as Hanilet’.a ghost. What 1 I . asked was' who -they • were and where and when they met. If, as your cor- I respondent says, a large number are not “ sufficiently intelligent ” why fake advantage of that weakness and play on it to, gain power? t If Mr Jones did mention he was' a - past, president in the Homing Pigeon Club he also mentioned lifs connection with the Workers’ Edu- , cationai Association. ; I submit the councillor asking the suffrage on a. sporting'ticket and nothing else ,would be just as logical-as a man’s qualification to jpdge in a debate being that he wore size seven in boots, perhaps the Citizens’ Association meets in the same premises, but on alternate nights, with the Welfare League.—l am, etc., , " ' ' ,C. S. MacAbthvb,' April 12.
