POLITICAL RIVALRY
TOWN VERSUS COUNTRY ATTITUDE OF LABOUR PARTY.' (Per United Press Association.) AUCKLAND, August 29. " It is not bur desire either to foster or take advantage of any city versus country feeling," said the president of the New Zealand Labour Party, Mr W. J. Jordan, M.P., in reply to the reported remarks by Mr A. D. M'Leod, M.P., at Dannevirke. The contests of the future were more likely to be between the big landed interests of town and country on the one hand, and the working farmers and town workers on the other. It was a fact that efforts of the past to keep town and country at variance had been recognised, and that the small farmers realised now that their interests and those of the town workers were identical. It was evident also that there was a breach within the Farmers' Union between the large runholders and the small farmers. Mr Jordan described Mr M'Leod'g remark about the happy relationship of the Reform and United Parties as humorous.
