ADDRESS BY THE PRIME MINISTER.
DANNEVIRKE, May 17. The mail train from Napier was momentarily held up at DanneVirke while the Prime Minister addressed the Territorials on their way to the casual camp at Masterton. He said that he had received placards with the statement: "Sir Joseph Ward and Hon. Thomas Mackenzie are the Premiers who gaoled our boys," and "As workers you are training your boys to shoot you down." Instead of this they were being trained to defend the country where workers were happier than in any other. The Prime Minister asked if they were in favor of such placards, and the Territorials chorused "No!"
