ESCORTED BY POLICE.
MR. LANG IN MELBOURNE. PIPED INTO THE CITY. Escorted by a score of stalwart police, the Premier of New South Wales, Mr. Lang, entered Melbourne the other day to the music of a piper playing what sounded like " The Campbells Are Coming." Copies of an old speech by Mr. Lang, authorised by Mr. J. J. Graves, M.L.C., 'were handed to the crowd of 1200 or so, and from a lorry Mr. Lang repeated, with slight variations, the three main points of the Lang Plan, as set out in this document. . There were shouts of " Muzzle him, kill him, run him out," when an interjector Eaid that Mr. Lang had tried to stir up inter-State hatred. By a slip of the tongue, Mr. F. J. Eiley, president of the Trades Hall, who introduced Mr. Lang, advised the crowd to follow Mr. Lyons, and they would be right. Some corrected him. Others cheered,, as if he had meant what he had said.
