An analogy used by the Hon. A. .1. Stall worthy at a meeting of the United T'aity supporters in Parnell, Auckland, was turned to other uses by Mr. T. Woodworth, the Labor candidate, during a speech at (ho Reniuora Library. “Mr. Stiillwoi'lhy. the new Messiah, who, you know, has sources of information denied to others, was telling them about Columbus,” said Mr Bloodworth. Mr Stallworthy had said, “When Hie sailors mutinied on bis ship this grand old man cried ‘Sail on ! sail on!’ and he did, and flint- is where, the United Party stands to-day.” Mr. Bloodworth, however, thought i! not in the least creditable to be standing where Columbus did 3CC years ago. He also saw significance in the famous navigator’s mistake in imagining the West Indies to be India.
