A characteristic, speech was delivered on Thursday evening by Mr. A. E. Glover (Auckland Central). In the course of his address, which covered a variety of subjects ranging' from human! tarianism to wire nails, he referred to the Civil Service Board. Ho declared his intention of persisting in sending nominations of candidates for positions to the commissioners, despite the penalty df £SO to which ho was subject. “You may incarcerate mo if you choose,” Mr. Glover declared, with a contemptuous glance at the Treasury benches, “but if you do you will find that it will be the rock upon which your political ‘bark’ will bo wrecked.” Ho hoped that if such an event came to pass nobody would pay Ins fine. “Some members,” he declared, in the course of references to some other subject, “will go back to their own and their own will receive them not, but I do not believe that there is a raemler in this House who could defeat the member for Auckland Central.” Best quality hot water bottles at the “Davies’’ Pharmacy.
