M. Wilford, in his address at Petono on Thursday I night, in pointing out how the country 1 was gradually turning again towards j Liberalism. To-day there was not a Reform candidate in the whole of the j Taranaki district. At Eltliam Mr. 1 Massey had endeavoured to attract I candidates to stand in Reform interests, ; but he had been unable to get a farmer I or a settler to come out in his favour. ■ In appealing for the support of the i “great middle class,” in the course! or his address at Remuora on Tuesday i evening, Mr. T; Bloodwortfa, Labour candidate for Parnell, said that Labour had frequently been encouraged to adopt constitutional” methods, _ and ■. at present Labour was using constitutional methods in the hope of achieving its ideals. He proceeded: “If Labour is prevented from expressing itself politically and constitutionally, then the time is coming when Labour will express itself in some other way. If that happens, then the middle class will suffer most and longest. There is no political hope for the middle class except through the Labour Party.”
