ALLEGED BREACH OF TRUST WRIT TO BE ISSUED FOR INJUNCTION By Telegraph—Press Association WELLINGTON, September 29. His intention to issue a writ of injunction through the Supreme Court to restrain the Prime Minister from what he termed the abuse of power in connection with broadcasting in the election campaign, was announced by Mr W. Appleton, National candidate ior Wellington Central, when he spoke at the Webb Street Methodist Hall to-night. Mr Appleton said that the Prime Minister was committing a breach of trust in his handling of broadcasting for political purposes. “There is really no Parliament in existence now,” said the speaker. “The Dominion is run by the Executive Council, which holds no legislative powers whatsoever except those delegated under the Statute which are purely administrative. It is not a question at all as to the number of members in the last House of Parliament, because it is now a dead House. Every section of the community is entitled to its fair share of privileges, and as a new candidate I claim I am just as much entitled to the use ol the air as Mr Savage himself. (Cheers.) I am going to demand my rights. So satisfied am I as to the constitutional position that I am instructing my solicitors to take immediate steps to issue a writ of injunction through the Supreme Court to restrain the Prime Minister from abusing his powers as he is undoubtedly doing under the present circumstances. We will see what the Supreme Court has to say about it.” Mr Appleton’s announcement was greeted with applause by a large section of the audience.
