CALL FOR BOLDNESS

UNITED LEADER’S APPEAL TO ELECTORS SIR JOSEPH’S MESSAGE Press Association INVERCARGILL* Monday. The Leader of the United Party, Sir Joseph Ward, hag issued the following appeal to the people of New Zealand:— “We are now on the eve of the General Election, and I confidently ask the people of the Dominion seriously to consider the policy of the United Party. By your votes on Wednesday you will be asked to decide whether the exodus from the land in the interior is to continue, the unemployed problem to become more acute, the financial stringency to increase, or "whether you will boldly adopt the politics enunciated by me. which will ensure to settlers and workers the necessary finance on long-dated, easy and safe terms, give fresh impetus to settlement, open up new avenues of employment, and generally stimulate enterprise and production, so that the Dominion will be able to absorb its unemployed and prevent serious troubles arising therefrom, which were greater last year than at any time during the last 35 years. “For some time now it has been generally admitted by large numbers of business men. farmers and workers, that a change in Government is necessary. I would strongly recommend them not to lose this opportunity of helping to restore a substantial financial condition and so improve the opportunities for people by their own efforts to greatly better their position. The United Party consists of people of all classes, Liberal, National, Reform and Labour. The United Party is much more widely supported than our opponents. 1 regard this election as one of the most momentous in our history, and confidently await the issue.”
