MR. ENTRICAN’S BANK ACCOUNT.

"I issue a challenge to any worker present to change bank accounts with mo,” said Mr. Entrican, an Auckland candidate, in answer to a number of scoffing interjections to his expressed belief that wore economy and saving were needed to help the country to tackle its financial problems. Voice from the pack of the hall: Will you change it . No fear. (Laughter.) Tile candidate repeated the offer, whereupon a member of the audience approached the platform and offered “to swap bank accounts” there and then. Mr. Entrican: All right. 1 will take your bank account and you take my overdraft (laughter and cries of “Oil!”) At twelve o'clock to-morrow at the Town Hall, and bring your bank-nook with you. (Renewed laughter.) The man with the bank account undertook to be there, and retired amid a torrent of merriment from the much-entertained audience.
