So up, friends, and be doing! All eyes will 'be oh you." Let us (the rank and file) show an example of ;a united front to the enemy. Give of yoxir best in tHe cause of humanity and I feel sur« that when you offer your services w the country again we w,ill not only return you, but will add to your numbers sufficiently as to enable you to make this fair land of ours worth, living in. I also want to thank those candidates who were not successful. They also hava rendered good service to lb<s w Labour movement and I feel sure that the seed that they have sown will bear fruit and that they; In turn will, w.ith perseverance, soon gain their objective.
