MR CORRIGAN AT WAVERLEY.

<s> Mr Corrigan addressed a well attended meeting in the Town Hall on Wednesday i.jght Mr Adlam presiding. Mr Corrigan, who received an attentive hearing, spoke on lines similar to those already reported. At the conclusion of his address a few questions were asked to most of which replies had already been given. in reply to Mir J. Walker as to how lie would vote in the House on Prohibition Mr Corrigan said it was not a fair question to ask. The issue lay with the electors who could please themselves how they voted. Asked if he stood for Labour Mr Corrigan said he had stood for Labour all his life taut he did not stand for Mr Holland and Revolutionary Socialism, In reply to another question as. to how many Liberals had voted against the Dairy Produce Export Bill, Mr Corrigan said he believed a good many had, but he was not answering for their sins. He would only be answerable for those of “Jim Corrigan.” On the motion of Mr Jas. Bourke, seconded by Mr F. J. McDonald, Mr Corrigan was accorded a hearty vote of thanks for his address, and after the customary vote of thanks to the chair the meeting concluded by all present singing the National Anthem.
