Mr J. A. Nash’s Big Win For
Palmerston.
BRISK VOTING IN PALMERSTON
Nash and the assistance given him in his campaign. Amid laughter he expressed the pleasure that had been afforded him in seeing the great progress the “pilgrims” had made. THE LABOUR CANDIDATE. Mr Moses Ayrton, the Labour candidate, was received with applause. He took his defeat philosophically, he said, and was happy in the knowledge tliat he had carried out his originally expressed intention of making a dean fight of it (cheers). It was a creditable performance that over 3000 electors had recorded their votes in favour of the Labour movement tliat he stood for, and would continue to stand for. Apparently a majority of electors in Palmerston North were quite satisfied with the Massey Gov l eminent, and the profiteering that had been pursued for the past five years. (Cries of “out it out” and jeers interrupted the speaker at this stage). , Continuing, Mr Ayrton said that the time was not far distant w'hen the positions would be reversed and the reactionary Massey Government would bo in the minority. However, ho hoped that the decision that had been arrived at would be productive of some good. As for Mr Nash, for whom he held a profound regard personally, lie was not sufficiently acquainted with industrial conditions—(“cut it out” yelled a chorus of voices). However, he was always an optimist, and hoped for the best, but at the next general elections ho would be ready to enter the arena again as a champion of Labour. (Hear I hear!). Mr Nash then called for three cheers for Mr Massey, which were heartily given, as were also throe cheers for Labour on the l call of Mr Ayrton immediately afterwards. THE PRIME MINISTER'S CONGRATULATIONS. J. A, Nash. Esq., M.P. —Accept my warmest arid heartiest congratulations on" your triumphal victory and tfie striking renewal of confidence which your constituents have reposed in you as their member. Please express, to one and all of your supporters my cordial thanks,— W. F, Massey, . < . PALMERSTON NORTH RESULTS. Following are the detailed results from the various booths in the Palmerston North electorate:— / , POLITICAL. . - j, t ■.
NORTH.
ENDS IN GOVERNMENT VICTORY.
Voting waa immensely brisk in Palmerston Northj, yesterday. The delightful summer weather that prevailed coupled with the fact of the dav being the weekly halfholiday was responsible for everyone being out, ' All loads led to polling booths and all tongues talked of polling. Outside tiro main booth at the Empire Hall the scene was a peculiarly animated one during the whole of the: afternoon. Cars loaded with electors wore continually arriving, coloured streamers were Hying from cars and being displayed by voters and many people stood about outside and discussed the position. Alongside the booth Mr Nash had a tent erected, in which his supporters gathered wearing ribbons of the heliotrope hue of the streamer Haunting in the breeze over the tent. On the other side Mr Ayrton had engaged a cottage, in which Labour supporters gathered and displayed their bright red ribbons. The elector approaching the booth was waylaid bv ladies and acquainted with his or her number on the roll_ in order to facilitate reference inside. This helped the officials materially and the progressive stages of the voting were carried out at the various tables in an orderly sequence. The arrangements in the booth w r cre under the direction of Mr C. E. Shortt.
That the licensing issue would bo a keen contest waa a well-expressed opinion and all day the supporters of both sides wore to bo seen wearing tho familiar blue (no-licenso) and pink (license). •A largo hoarding was erected in the Times nnd “ Standard ” offices on which results were posted immediately on coming to hand after the closing of the booths. Progressive results were thrown by < lantern slides on to a screen erected alongside. At seven o’clock a large crowd had collected in the roadway in anticipation of exciting results and 4s the evening wore on the crowd was enormously swelled. Telegrams of progressive results were pouring in by eight o’clock arid ,tho announcements kept the interest"; stimulated. ' V THE VICTORIOUS CANDIDATE. MR NASH’S. THANKS.
Aa soon as complete result# of the Pal- , merston North, electorate were to hand — about nine o’clock —Mr Nash stepped out t on to the balcony of the “ Standard ’’ office 1 to,address; the huge crowd gathered in,the roadway .in front of the building. Looking down,’ the sight presented was that of a sea of upturned faces, stretching a good distance up the street approaching the office from the railway lino, and gleaming in the lights from the hoardings. _ r Mr Nash mentioned hia success amid cheering and shouted congratulations. Ho thanked all those who had worked so arduously in his cause—both ladies and gentlemen—and those who hid loaned motor cars for conveying the electors'to the booths. The result was a complete refuta- r tion of the statements that liau been made that ho. was previously returned by a minority vote, lie could sgy that he * would endeavour to do his duty for the people as i whole and was clad'to 800 that Ileform waa leading evorywhore. ' Jeers and derisive yells greeted this latter remark, and drowned the cheers that it I evoked from a certain section of the crowd. I “ You want to take your licking and take I it like' spdrts,” responded Mr Nash. “If I I had been beaten 1 would have taken it like S a sport.' Why don’t you do the same?" he I asked inni'd mingled jeers and cheers. “My C opponent J.as fought a gentlemanly fight/’ 1 continued,Mr Nash, “and I liavo nothing I to complain of. lam prepared fo say that C if he had been associated with a sane labour Party he would have done better than he did to-day. This country is not going to bo run hv extremists. If there has lieen any ill-feeling I hope that it will all bo buried.” In conclusion, Mr Nash expressed the high personal regard in which j he held Mr Ayrton for the straightforward and manly way in which he hud conducted his campaign. . (Cheers). Three cheers wore then lustily given for the defeated candidate* on the call of Mr Nash. THE PILGRIMS’ PROGRESS. 1 Mr P. A..

WORK FOR THE COUNTRY’S GOOD. Per Press Association. WELLINGTON. Dec. 17. Mr Massey appeared at the Dominion result board shortly alter II p.m., his appearance being a signal for a "great outburst of cheers. Ho said that though the election returns wore not yet complete, a majority for tlus Government was assured. He wanted to thank the electors throughout the , Dominion for the expression of confident* in the Government which had been recorded j at the polls that day. Many experienced , politicians bad-fallen out of the ranks, and their places had been taken by others, but ■ ho felt certain the verdict oi the electors would be accepted in the propc- spirit. He believed tho services of the men who had been unsuccessful that day would not be lost to tho public, but that again they would be found doing their best as they had done 1 in tho past in the interests of tho Dominion. They would have heard that one Ministe. had been defeated, and three e\ Ministers; and also several men who had taken a very important part' in tho council’s of the Dominion. He believed that a substantial majority of. members had boon; returned to support law and order, and so far as bo could understand, a substantial majority had also been returned to support the policy of, development in connection with reconstruction 'which had been put forward by the Government. Mr Massey added: “I hope that now tho election is practically over, we shall forget the incidents of to-day and any little bitterness, and that whatever our politics may bo, we shall bo found working together, for- ] jetting our party politics, and all doing our £ owl best for the country to which wo [ belong." j
SIR JOSEPH WARD’S* VIEWS.
TAKES DEFEAT AS A SPORTSMAN.
; 'V WELLINGTON, Dec;’ 17. ; Sir, Joseph- Ward - addressed the crowd from, the balcony ,of the Times office. At tho outset he was' groptod with sporadic cheering- and, hoots, but these soon subsidy od, and he. was permitted to speak without interruption.' He oppressed regret at the defeat of . his party. So far as his own ;• defeat was concerned, lie viewed the matter philosophically.*' Ho personally had no regrets, and was not going to cora; plain of his reverse. At tho same time, in' reviewing the. whole > election, ho could not.compliment his opponents on the methods they employed in’ order to gain thenvictory. ■Ho had. served’ a very long time in the public life of the Dominion, and ho ..wished-, to .tender his, deep thanks to the people yffip) had, [stood by shim and bis party. Ho Wokklilupdn the ppsitidn quite dispassionately, apd it had to be borne in mind that it would probably take a day or two before the definite state of parties was known. Ho was see that the'outcome would be the formition of a strong and wise Government in tho general interests of tho people of New Zealand, because ho realised' that th.o 'country •had before it vory ; difficult tasks,* which would take all the brains and all tho efforts of the new Parliament. He _ assured them that throughout the whole time he had been in public life it had been his effort to do tho right thing. There wore those who did not see eye to eye with him in politics, and who wore disposed to take tho worst view of a man’s efforts in public life; That was mlo of the worst features in tho public life of this country. Sir Joseph Ward expressed keen regret at the number of old Liberals having gone down in the struggle. He referred particularly to Sir James Carrol, whose services and fine personality he eulogised. Ho expected all others who, like himself, had been defeated, wou d take the position like sportsmen should do. Personally, ho took it as such.
THE LABOUR VIEW
WESTPORT, Dec. 17. In returning thanks, Mr Holland said he intended, as editor of the Labour paper of Greymouth. to conduct an educational campaign on the West Coast, and the Labour Party would drive Massey and Ward into evolution, where they should have boon all tll Mt i O’Brion (the defeated candidate) said ho hoped that now the' elections wore over all would work for .the prosperity of the West Coast, which was a great countiy. He intended to go back into the mines, ana work for industrial productivity.

Speaking at Wellington last evening, Mr F. Pirani, who was defeated' by Mr P. Fraser for Wellington Central, said s I believe that vou will find as a result of the contest that although I have boon beaten in the strongest Labour electorate in New Zealand, the Labour Party has been taught g lesson that will last very long in their memories. The lesson will stay in. the memories of those who think there is no other cause worth supporting than that of the revolutionary Labour men—men who don’t want to labour, but who want to live on the labour of the poor, fools they are deooivirig. The time will come, and it is not far distant, when the people of New. Zea'and : 1 will ''see revolutionary Labour in its proper place.” Pirani spoke under a storm of hooting, and jeering, and he could not be heard.' except by thosy in his immediate * neighbourhood. The beast is loose to-night," he added, “but, by Jove, it will be caught when the people of New Zealand 0 rise to a sense of their responsibilities”
