FOR GOD AND KING.

AIR COLEMAN CHALLENGES AIR LYSNAR “MAN WHO SAYS NOTHING ON EVERYTHING”

According to Air Lysnar, one would think he was the ‘power behind the throne’ and that the Prime Minister agreed to all he proposed remarked Air Coleman m the couise of his address last night. A voice: “Ho is all skitc. (Laughter). , . “He strikes the attitude or alone I did it’ ” said Air Coleman, who remarked: ‘ ‘However lie had heard tho member for Gisborne referred to as ‘One who says nothing on everything’ ”. Air Lysnar discussed the Labor Party being disloyal to the mid God. That was a uistmCd lie. Labor was as loyal .as any other political party, having in its ranks men who fought in the war, were disabled, and there were others who had paid the price. He had'never known Air Lysnar to do anything very loyal in the war, except when he refused to allow liis wool and pelts to go away and kept them stored in Gisborne. A voice: “That’s quite true.” “I know it is”, retorted Mr Coleman. , , , < The candidate proceeded to name prominent Laborites who were mmi steps- of religion and declared that he himself did more for God and religion in a week than Air Lysnar did in a life-time. If. he thought the Labor Partv was irreligious he would not stay in their ranks for an hour.

“What has Air Lysnar over done that he should be able to cast bricks?” asked the speaker, who claimed liis own record oil the C.D.C. and Repatriation Committee would bear more than favorably with that of! the member for Gisborne.. . ■ -
