DEMOCRAT PARTY
STATEMENT ISSUED. “NO REAL DISSENSION.” (Per United Press Association.) Wellington, August 10. Mr A. E. Davy, chief executive officer of the Democrat political organization, has been authorized by the Dominion executive to issue a statement which says, inter alia, that the progress of the party is apparently causing grave concern to political opponents. “The little contretemps at Rotorua is one liable to occur with a party for which many candidates aspire to stand, and the executive has the fullest confidence in the Auckland divisional executive. Regarding Mr Goodfellow, his opinions after all are entirely his own. What will or will not be done will be decided by the Democrat organization. The conference of candidates here on August 21 will discuss political matters.
“The canard that there is any real dissension is too ridiculous for words. In every party there may be a few people with divergent opinions, but the problems of National Socialists and Labour Socialists are greater than those of the Democrat Party.” The executive professes amusement at the efforts of opponents to damage the party.
