Arrests At Auckland
ISpecwl to “Northern Advocate.”} AUCKLAND, This Day. Two men who had played a prominent part in obstructing Mr C. R. Dodd, National candidate for Auckland Central, when he was speaking at the Grafton Library last night, were arrested. The firm action taken by the police had a salutary effect upon the rowdy section of the audience, who obviously disagreed with Mr Dodd’s policy. About 100 walked out with,/the arrested men.
Mr Dodd was roundly applauded at the close of his address, and a vote of confidence in him and the Hon. Adam Hamilton, Leader of the Party, was passed. A motion of no confidence found support in only three or four voices.
The candidate'met with a mixed reception as he left the hall, but a cordon of police kept the crowd in order.
