Strong indignation was expressed by the Marlborough provincial executive of the Farmers' Union regarding the criticism levelled at the completion of tho South Island Main Trunk railway by Sir. W. J. Poison, Dominion president of tho union, in an address delivered by liim at Invercargill.
It was decided that Mr. Poison bo asked to explain his statements and his ottitudo when he visits Blenheim later this month. Tho meeting also unanimously carried (he following resolution:—
"As it was understood that Mr. Polson's addresses during his South Island tour would be in his capacity of president of the New Zealand Farmers' Union, and would be confined to matters of interest to the farming community, this executive objects generally to the political aspect given to his campaign, as it would appear from the newspaper reports, and particularly objects to his misleading statements regarding the South Island Main Trunk railway."
