POLITICS FROM THE AIR
TEN THOUSAND LEAFLETS MESSAGE FROM MR. LYONS " Have faith in Australia, pull together, and pull Australia through," was the keynote of a message which was scattered in leaflets over Wilmot .electorate —represented in Parliament by the Prime Minister —from the monoplane Faith in Australia, when Mr. Lyons travelled back from Tasmania to the mainland recently. Ten thousand of the leaflets, which invited electors to vote for Mr. Lyons and keep the Prime Minister a Tasmanian, were dropped upon Wilmot by the members of Mr. Lyons' party. They were scattered all the way from Launceston to Devonport, but the bulk of them descended upon Perth, Westbury, Deloraine, and other important centres. As they fluttered to the ground from a height of between 1000 and 2000 feet, they looked to the occupants of the aeroplane like a great flight of white birds.
