DOMINION POLITICS.
REPLY TO HON. A. D. McLEOD
Per Press Association
AUCKLAND, Aug. 29. ,f lt is not our desire either to foster or to take advantage of any city versus country feeling,’’ said the president of the Now Zealand Labour Party, Mr W. J. Jordan, M.P., in reply to the reported remarks by Hon. A. D. McLeod, M.P., at Dannevirke. “The contests’ of the future are more likely to be between the big landed interests of town and country on the one hand and the working farmers and town workers on the other,’’ ho said. It was a fact, added Mr Jordan, that the efforts of the past to keep town and country at variance had been recognised and that the small fanners realised now that their interests and those of the town workers were identical. It was evident also that there was a breach with the Farmers’ Union between the large runholders and the small fanners.
Mr Jordan described Mr McLeod's remark about tho happy relationship of the Reform and United parties as humorous.
