Professor Algie Wants Clean Election
(Per Press Association. — Copyright) ’ CHRISTCHURCH, This Day.
“There is no need to get passionate about v the election, or to make it a dirty fight, rather than a good, healthy scrap over principles,” said Professor R. M. Algie, organiser of the Auckland Freedom Association, in an address to more than 1500 people in Christchurch last evening. “My arm is to lift politics up to mere reason and intellect, and if all decide that we want Socialism, then it is right that we should have it. The only thing we can ask is that when you are choosing you will choose with the best information at your command, and that you will overlook promises, unless you have already had a good look at the cost.”
The reception given Professor Algie was described by him as being “a tremendous encouragement to his friends in Auckland, and a wonderful inspiration.” Every seat in St. James’s Theatre was occupied, and many persons were standing.
