Macauley of Waikouaiti), has sent the following circular letter to centres in Southland : “I have been instructed to communicate with centres in Southland, advising as to the steps taken in Otago to nominate candidates for election as members of the Dairy Produce Control Board. I enclose a cutting from the Otago Daily Times on which you will find a report of the business transacted at a fully representative meeting of producers held at Dunedin on ThursdayNovember 8. We would specially call your attention to the fact that only these members of the Dominion Dairy Council, who held certain views were invited to attend the meeting at Wellington, at which the candidates recommended for nomination were selected. Only one of the three Otago members received notice that the meeting was to be held. As the Southland gentleman (Mr Fisher), nominated, is practically unknown to us, we would like the producers in your province to give us an idea as to who, in their opinion, is the most suitable Southland man to be elected to the board. We are prepared to use our best endeavours to forward the interests of any candidate so chosen, on the understanding that Southland producers support the candidate nominated by the Otago producers. Could you arrange a meeting of producers at your centre and advise me at your earliest convenience as to the conclusion arrived at..”
