LIBERAL RALLY
“WONDERFUL WHAT HAD HAPPEN 1 ED.” MR WILFORD’S OPTIMISM. (Per United Press Association). WELLINGTON, June 16. At a social function given by the Lower Hutt branch of the Liberal-Labour Federation a number of members of the Opposition were present, and delivered addresses. Amongst them was Mr Macpherson, M.P. for Oamaru, who had a good reception, and spoke of the services that Mr Wilford had rendered him in the Oamaru fight. Mr Wilford also spoke, but not on policy lines. He stressed the necessity for organisation. Considering how he had wandered round the country—laughed and sneered at by the Reform Press—without organisation and without funds, it was wonderful what had happened. He was not frightened by the threat of a dissolution. It he had to go round the country again he felt that he could very safely trust his loyal supporters to hold the fort for him. His constituency had been true to him for many years, and he was proud of it.
