LIBERAL-LABOUR FEDERATION
GATHERING AT LOWER HUTT (United Press Association). WELLINGTON, This Day. At a social function given by the Lower Ilutt branch of the Liberal-Labour Federation a number of members of the Opposition were present and delivered addresses. Among them was/Mr Macpherson, M.P. for Oamaru, who had a good reception and spoke of the services Mr Wilford had rendered him in the Oamaru fight. Speakers thanked the electorate for the sacrifice it had made by giving Mr Wilford time to travel through the country and thereby gain quite a number of seats for the party. Mr Wilford- also spoke, but not on policy lines. Ho stressed the necessity for organisation. Considering how he had wandered round the country, laughed at and sneered at by the Reform press, without organisation and without funds, it was wonderful what had happened. He was not frightened by the threat of dissolution. If he had to go round again he felt he could very safely trust his loyal supporters to hold tho fort for him. His constituency had been true to him for seven years and he was proud of it.
