THE OHINEMURI CONTEST.
ou, —'iU«Av ± mi p«oaj IHCU tu luijiure' why we have not a Labour candidate standing for Qhinemuri at the forthcoming elections- At a Labour' 'conference held in Dunedin it was resolved to open a Labour fighting, fund o! £25,000 to contest every seat in Parliament at the (joining elections. I fas ve given my share toward this, fund, which 1 believe has been supported right thro ighout the Dominion, and I sun sorely puzzled as to why no Labour candidate has been mentioned in Ohinenmri, a seat that could easily he won by Labour. If the. Labour Party wanted funds to assist a candidate there are any number like myself. who would willingly subscribe. I know Mr. Poland votes solidly with Labour on most questions that affect as, but if that is the reason why the Labour Party in Wellington will not oppose him, why "does Mr. Poland not come straight out as a Labour candidate ? Sitting on a rail is no" good. ''Workers want to know definitely who is lor us and who against us. If Haghie will come out ic the open for Labour he will be returned by the largest majority he has ever had. Otn WiUHI Wobkeb.
