Rpceived August 30, 10 a.m. ■'■■ Capetown, August 29. At a large meeting of the South African Party at Fordsburg, Mr Visser, chairman of Mr Hertzog's committee, suggested the creation of two branches —one Dutch and the other English speaking. Dr. Krause premising that the leader's differences were purely personal, remarked that although a personal friend of Mr Hertzog he thought the latter anything but a good party man for refusing to abide by the decision of the Congress. He concluded by declaring Botha is entitled to whole hearted support. The allegation that Mr Botha is pledged to capitalists and is in league with the unionists is all nonsense.
