HON. R. SEMPLE.
SPEECH AT LIfHGOW. Received July 22, 10.25 a.m. SYDNEY, July 22. At a civic reception at Lithgow. Hon. R. Semple said lie was not broken in health, but by all the rules he should have been dead years ago. He had suffered political persecution, having been imprisoned six times, but he had clenched his teeth in the determination that he was not going to surrender his health. If a man was a “quitter” and had a yellow streak in him the forces of capitalism would discover it. Labour principles, he said, should become a religion with men and women who, if they were to succeed, must sacrifice everything in the- interests of the principles they professed.
