First Verdict of the Constituencies

POSITION of PARTIES

of Parliament with a clean record if ho went there at all. (Applause-) MB FISHEE. Mr Fisher said h© was in for another week's fighting, and he liked the prosSecfc. lie wanted to say, so far as the entral seat was concerned, that they had had a very happy fight, and during the nest week he was hopeful that the Reform party would win another seat in the House. "Yes,’” he added, “we shall have another meeting in the Town Hall/' He took that opportunity of thanking all those who had worked for him. (A voice: “What about the top line? ) “’That top line is all right," responded tho speaker, “and you will see my name in th© + p line this day week. I want , also to thank those people who voted for , me, and to say that I hope, when next week comes, I shall have the support of those who have voted for my worthy opponent, Mr Young." (Cheers and counter demonstration.) MB W. T- YOUNG. Mr Young said ho desired, on behalf of the Labour party, to return his very sincere gratitude to tho electors of Wellington Central who had voted for Latxjur. Labour had certainly very materially increased its position on the previous vote put up. He wanted to thank those workers who had rendered valuable assistance to him and tho cause of Labour during this election, and he ventured to say that when the next election came along the Labour movement would have grown sufficiently strong to return its representative for Wellington Central. He had fought straightforward and above board. That day he had seen and witnessed the power of money so far as Liberalism was concerned. (Uproar.) Resuming when order had been restored, Mr Young said he wanted to comment upon the fact that before the second ballot came round on the 14th inst. (Uproar.) “I have witnessed the engagement of every motor-car and every cab in this city on behalf of the Liberal •party coupled with another party," he went on, "and I want to enter an emphatic protest against the manner in which money has been utilised to the detriment of democracy- (Uproar.) There will be a meeting of the supporters of the Labour party to-morrow evening, and at that meeting we will decide as to which candidate we will rot© for on the second ballot, and 1 venture to say it will not be for the candidate that secured every motor-car ’and cab in this city to bring voters to the poll." (Uproar.) / WELLINGTON NORTH ME A. L. HERDMAN. Mr A. L. Herdman, who was received with cheers, said that the position in which the people of Wellington North had placed him was one that any man might well b© proud to occupy. (Applause.) H© was very gratified at the honour don© him, and especially that the vote had rendered a second ballot unnecessary. It wa,s one of tho proudest times of his life, for ho little thought, on starting the contest, that he would be returned with a majority in tho first ballot of between six and seven hundred votes. He had had the honour to represent Wellington North in Parliament for a period of thro© years. Many people might have differed with him in the views that he had , given utterance to, but tho result of the poll showed that a majority, at any rate, pf the people in Wellington North believed that he had discharged hie duties faithfully. (Cheers.) Ho would continue to fight as ho had fought in the past, and to struggle for what he believed to be right in public life. He wished • to express his deep gratitude to the many electors who had voted for him, and not only to them, but to the ladies who had so zealously, energetically, and courageously don© battle on his behalf. contest had been fought on perfectly fair lines. There had been no bitterness at all; tho candidates had been on perfectly friendly terms throughout. That was one of the best features of this splendid contest in Wellington North. (Loud applause.) DB. A. IZARD. <e l am not downhearted at all," said Dr. A. Izard. “The knock-out blow came to m f e in the first round, but I am pleased to think that on the very first occasion I have come forward more t than two thousand electors of Wellington North thought me a fit man to represent them." (Applause.) He added that as he was still .on the sunny side of forty ho could afford to wait and try again later on. (Applause.) He thanked all his supporters, and concluded by calling for cheers for tho member for Wellington North, his friend Mr Herdman. The cheers were heartily given. MB E. J. CAREY. On behalf of the Labour party, Mr E. J. Carey thanked the electors who had voted for him. He said he had had a stiffor proposition than any other Labour candidate, and was glad to think he had fought a clean fight and put up a record of "which ho and th© Labour party could well be proud, v (Hear, hear.) On the next occasion he stood, h© was confident he would be more successful. He regarded tho vote this time as a protest against the actions of tho Liberal party, and thought many votes were taken from him by th© Opposition .candidate, because they believed the Labour* man had no chance. WELLINGTON EAST DR NEWMAN. “I am very glad to be in th© position X am in," declared Dr Newman, amidst applause, “but I greatly regret that X have to. call upon my trienUa to rally around me again, because I mean to fight this battle to a finish, and I believe the electors will yet win this seat for the Opposition." He added that he meant to fight this election to the bitter end. He was very much obliged to those electors who voted for him on this occasion, and he hoped when the second ballot came on they would remain staunch and true, and with the aid _oi some votes on the other 'side, and with the majority he had, he could still hope for victory. The second ballot was a nuisance to many of them, but he asked tho electors to rally round him that day week. (Applause.) mb d. McLaren. Mr D. McLaren thanked very heartily the electors who had helped to put him into the position he occupied, and said he was confident that on the second ballot he would be sent back to the House for another term. (Applause.) He i*o"garded the voting in his favour as an expression of confidence in tho Labour party as well as in himself as its sole official representative in the last Parliament. (Applause.) MR F. G. BOLTON. Mr F. G. Bolton said he was very grateful to all those who worked for him'and voted for him in this contest. It had been a fair ’fight on the part of every candidate in it. He appreciated very much the kindness of those who • had stood by him- They would perhaps hear from him again on a future occasion, when he hoped to be more successful. (Applause.) MR J. BRODIE. “I have been badly biffed, but I can assure you that my spirit is not broken,"

PROHIBITION NATIONAL POLL BIG VOTE RECORDED AGAINST LIQUOR FOR PROHIBITION ... 227,463 AOAINST 176,470 Details of the poll on the issue of national prohibition received up to the hour of going to press are as under;—

said 3lr J. Brodie. He congratulated the successful candidate and also the electors on the choice they had made. . Re himself .was really, a stranger in tne political world, but by a little persistence he hoped to do Better later on. It was better to have tried and , never to have tried at all. (Applause.) WELLINGTON SOUTH ME E. A. WRIGHT. Mr E. A. Wright was greeted with a mixture of choers and counter demonstration and tho cry of "Wowser. When at last Mr IV right could make himself audible, ho. said, " Wowser or no wowser 1 will be there on Thursday, make no mistake about that.” There yr&a uproar for some time, and at last the candidate had an. opportunity to thank those who had voted for him. The figures, he said, showed that he had a majority of 252, and bo proposed, between now and Thursday, to put up a record fight. (Demonstration.) When the uproar- had subsided a little, Mr Wright said he believed he would maintain his present position at the second ballot. Whatever might bo the final result, as far as he was concerned he would put up a fair and square fight. He then called for three cheers for each of' the other candidates. The speaker was counted out by the crowd a few moments later. MB A. H. HINDIIAESH. 3lr A. H. Hindmarsh thanked very heartily the electors lor the position in which they had placed him, not so much on his own behalf as for the sake of Labour. The Vote given him showed that tho people appreciated what a man did for the city. He appreciated the position given him, and felt certain that the second ballot next week would put him at the top of the poll. He specially thanked those who had actively assisted him in the contest. (Applause.) MR W. H. F. BARBEE. Mr W. H. P. Barber said he had evidently been on a bad wicket. He had realised- for some time that the task before him was a difficult one. He had tried his best to win the seat, but tho load he hu4 had to carry' was too much. Ho thanked the electors who had voted for him, and also his committee, especially the ladies, who had worked so hard for him in the absence of Mrs Barber. Although defeated, he was not downhearted, and tho result would cause him no worry. He regarded the verdict as against tho Government rather than against himself. • He accepted defeat with good grace, and he hoped to remain good friends with tho electors. (Applause.) He congratulated tho Labour on tli© position it had eocurod, and called for three cheers for the winning candidates, which were heartily given. SUBURBS MR W. H. D. BELL. Mr \Y. H. D, Beil, who was heartily received; said lie thanked tho electors very much indeed for the proud position in which- thev had placed him. It had been a perfectly fair and straightforward fight. Shortly before he had had the pleasure of hearing 3lr Luke addressing the electors at Berhamporo, and . had heard him say that it was as clean an election fight as ho was ever in. He congratulated the candidates who were not left in tho second ballot, and asked tho people to join with him in giving cheers for Messrs Luke and Fitzgerald. (The' cheers were cordially given.) The fight with 3lr Moore for the coming week would bo a sporting one, ho was quite sure. Ho hoped to win. but if he was beaten he would ho proud of being beaten by Mr Moore. (Applause.) At his call choers were given for 3lr Moore, followed by cheers for Mr Bell himself. MR F. T. MOORE. Mr P. T. Moore, Labour candidate- for Suburbs, said: "Supported by the strong arm of Labour, I have climbed into the second ballot, and if the Liberals will join against the Opposition, Mr Bell will go down. (Applause.) Liberal and Lahour standing shoulder to shoulder can top the poll. I feel sure that that is what is going to happen this night week." (Applause.) MR J. B. FITZGERALD. ’’Once again I stand before you a defeated, but not by any means a discouraged aspirant for political honours,” said Mr J. E. Fitzgerald. He was pleased to know that he had . been defeated by two young colonials, because he believed that the time was come when young New' Zealanders should take their place in shaping the destinies of this country- (Hear, hear.) He had come up smiling on this occasion, and he would appear before tho electors again whenever an opportunity presented itself. He called for cheers for the two candidates who bad topped the poll, and the crowd lustily responded.
