MR - LYSNAR UPBR AIDS MR CLAYTON

THAT RABBIT FARM CANARD!

The side issues raised l by Mr Clayton during his campaign were referred to by Mr W. D. Lysnar m most withering terms at his meeting at Mangapapa last night. ' “If”, said Mr Lysnar, “the United Party candidate had been an experiencedl campaigner, or even only an ordinary-minded individual, he would never have thought to do what he has done. Take his foolish talk concerning the rabbit farming scheme at AVaiouru in which my brother (Mr 'F. J. Lysnar) was interested 1 . At the time Mr Clayton spoke, I did not have a prospectus, but the one I have now is marked ‘ private and confidential.’ If Mr Clayton’s bears the same endorsement, he should not have made the document nublic until it had been released. As it so happens what he has done cannot harm the company in the slightest degree, for everything is in perfect legal order. Mr Lysnar ajlded that the scheme was to- breed Chinchilla rabbits and not ordinary rabbits, as suggested by Mr Clayton, who had thus showed his tactlessness) in risking the exposure of the true position hv him.
