[BY TELEGRAPH —I'UK.HH ASSOCIATION] ASIIUURTON. Thursday
Jn the course of a severe criticism ol the Government, the Hon. W. Havward, M.L.G., speaking at a National Party meeting at Ashburton last evening, said that members recently appointed to the legislative Council had a wrong idea of what the Council wa.s for.
"The majority are there simply as voting machines, and feel they are just, there to vote for anything that comes up from the other House," he said. "If that is so, we would be better at home, as we are a very expensive machine." A strong committee was formed to organise National Party interests.
