FIGHTING FUNDS
THE GENERAL ELECTION LABOUR WELL SUPPLIED (Special to Daily Times) AUCKLAND, Feb. 25. “For every £1 we can find for next election the Labour Party will be backed by £ 10. It will have about £ 1,000,000,” declared ; the Leader of the Opposition (Mr Adam Hamilton) in reply to an interjector, who suggested that the National Party stood for the “ big men,” when he was speaking at a meeting tonight. Mr Hamilton said the National Party would be struggling along with hundreds of pounds while Labour would be backed by thousands. A lot of people believed that the financial strength of the Government Party, would be its downfall. The National Party sought the support of the business, professional, and commercial men of the towns, the rural vote, and that of a large proportion of working people.
