MB. FARREIL'S CAMPAIGN.

QUIET FINAL MEETING.

EXODUS OF LABOUR SECTION.

Tiie campaign in' Auckland West closed in rather a quiet fashion lest evening, when the Reform candidate, Mr. John Farrell, addressed a crowded meet ing in the Britannia Theatre. Mr. J. A. C. Allum presided. During <h e earlier part of the meeting Labour interjectors made their presence heard, but not to any effect. Suddenly a considerable exodus occurred. "An organised withdrawal,'' remarked the candidate. ''On tho last night of the campaign it is somewhat obvious. That it; how they will bo going homo to-morrow night, no doubt." (Loud cheers.) "You will bo member for the district this films to-morrow night," called a voice in the audience.

Mr. Farrell again emphasised the fact that no Labour candidate- could didassociate himself from the extreme ideas of his party, nor escape its relentless irresponsible rule. The leaders held tho principles of the international socialists and their banner was the Red flag. At the closo of the meeting a vote of thanks and confidence was carried, and resounding cheers were given for Mr. Farrell.
