POLITICAL NOVELTY
QUEEN CARNIVAL PARADE GAILY DECORATED STAGE Probably for the first time on record, politics had a floral setting in the Town Hall last night. The Leader of the Opposition, Air. M J. Savage, spoke from a stage gaily decorated with greenery and flowering pot plants from the city council s hot houses. Pink cyclamens, yellow lachenalias and small ferns lined the front of the stage ; which was flanked by tall palms in tubs and cinerarias in pots. Before the meeting, the nine candidates in tho queen carnival which is being held in the city and suburban electorates for the Labour election campaign fund paraded on the stage with their attendants and were introduced by Mr. W. J. Lyon, Labour candidate for Waitemata. Tho young ladies wore red badges or emblems and had fillets or wreaths of red flowers in their hair.
