WHAT IS WANTED
MEN AND MEASURES, TOO “THE GOSPEL OF FUSION.”.
You ask. ‘What became of the fusion ?’ ” said the Minister for Lands (the .Hon. A. JD. McLeod) to Reformers in Newtown last evening. “Rest assured that in Mr Coates and .his party you have men who .will not try to save their political skins. You will have an early, opportunity of saying whether you will trust the Government of this country to Mr Coates as leader, to Mr Wilfiord, or Mr Holland. If the gospel, history, of the fusion negotiai* "P" 3 ever is written, and I hope it will, this .will be. proved. No party can win elections unless it is organised. TJ 1 ® so-called Nationalist Party led by Mr Wilford is not organised; “To-day we have over 60 members and candidates pledged to give support to Mr Coates, irrespective of what political' name- ho .chooses to adopt. Measures . and - ■ not men’ .is the cry 'Which our opponents adopted. Our cry is Men and measures,’ and we are prepared to leave it at that.”
