No Confidence in Labour
HAWERA, Sept. 1. A vote of no-confidence in Hon. J. G. Barclay as Minister of Agriculture, Minister of Lands, and Minister of Marketing, and no-confidence in the Labour Government, was carried by an overwhelming majority at the conclusion of an address given by Mr. Barclay to some 600 Egmont electors at Eltham to-night. The motion, which was put in the form of an amendment to a vote of thanks, evoked cheers and uproar, but when a show of hands was called for by the Mayor (Mr. C. A. Wilkinson, M.P.) there was no doubt of the verdict of the audience. A call for three cheers for the National Party and its candidate met with an enthusiastic response.
