"GOD SAVE THE KING."
When the Labor candidate for Franklin, Mr E. Piggott, addressed the electors at Papakura, . interjections were ! fairly frequent during the early part of the speech, and at the conclusion the following resolution was canned : — "We cit'zens of Papakura declare our loyalty to King and Empire, and every sym-j pathy for Labor and its legitimate acms, j but decline to be represented by one who will support the party led by Mr H. E. Holland, whom we deem disloyal to his King emd country, and the brave soldiers who left New Zealand to fight i for us." An amendment to the effect jthat Mr PfLggbtt be thanked for his adt dress was lost. On the original resolu- ', : tion being put to the meeting', those m ! j favor stood up and sang "God Save the ; j King." The motion was earned by ai large majority. It is' these gratfying ! little episodes that convince the public ' that meni of the Holland type are mere-) ly temporary blotches on the political landscape of "God's Own Country," — Dominion.
