“RIDICULOUS STATEMENT”
NATIONAL GOVERNMENT CANDIDATES MR HISLOP CORRECTED. [Per Press Association. — Copyright. ] DUNEDIN, This Day. During his address at Invercargill, Mr T. C. A. Hislop, Leader of the Democrat party, stated that the Government had “gone in desperation to the people for candidates, offering to pay all expenses and £250 afterwards.” The secretary of the National Political Federation at Dunedin, to whom this statement was referred, states; “This appears to be a loose general statement, which, as far as Otago is cocnerned, has no connection with fact. In this province, the party has. in no sense of the word, been desperate for candidates for any of the seats. The statement regarding the payment of expenses and of £250 afterwards is too ridiculous to deserve serious comment.”
