It is vety much man's logic, ' 'il ighjls -i ",i*s - righti?' .-' and • '. success gpetfls justification 'of undemocratic methods. There are lessons to be -learnt from the failure of the Momen, and of the Labor party' to return their candidates, but-\tliey. are. not those th^it appear on the surface: Ii thihk^ considering they ihjniense disabilitiies under "ivhich tbey work,- that tliey •> did not do- so badly.
