Sir.— Now that the by-election is over and time is given for an analysis of the position, one must come to the conclusion that although Labour has achieved a success for which it must be congratulated, the returns do not give a true aspect of the position. Up to a short time before the poll all the indications were in favour of the Libefal st an<iidate - whose personality and standing in the community were all in his favour. His chances were greatlv assisted by the advent of Sir Joseph Ward and Mr. Atmore, whose assistance would undoubtedly have turned the scales in favour of their candidate. But a. tactical error was made in bringing in a speaker whose astounding and ridiculous charges against the Government made his remarks absolutely nauseating to the great body of electors, and in the election turned v ° tes against the liberal Party. Should the Liberals again at{22* *° W i°? electors in this dis- *? en let them bring in only men of common sense to address us, and cn }y here, but throughout the whole: Dominion get men of broad minds and a tolerant manner. Then one will not wish to sign himself a DISGUSTED ELECTOR.
