April 11. “The more intelligent members of the Maori race should get together and wipe out the religious fanatics nnd pat lan end to the theatrical outbursts which are doing the race no good.” This is an extract from a speech delivered at Detune by Sir Maui Pont,are. Sir Maui was accorded a reception by a number of his supporters, whom he thanked for their renewal of confidence. He then proceeded to deal with the petition that had been lodged against his return to Parliament. He was very sorry, he said, that the other side had net been able to take a licking like sports. Sir Maui then made an appeal to the more intelligent members of the race, as recorded above, lie explained that he did not desire his audience to accept it in its literal sense as an appeal to wipe out religious fanatics, hut in the interests of the Maori race the influence of fanatics should certainly be curbed.
