MR. DAVY’S LAMENT. ANTIPATHY TO GOVERNMENT. LABOUR REAPS BENEFIT. (By Telegraph.—Press Association). WELLINGTON, Nov. 28. Mr. A. E. Davy, organiser of the Democrat Party, stated to-day that tlie return of the Labour Party as the Government Avas not surprising, though the overwhelming vote polled by Labour candidates Avas amazing. It Avas perfectly clear that the people Avere determined to vote the Government out and that the Democrats Avere too late in the field. The La : hour Party received the benefits of the landslide. He congratulated Mr. Savage and his party, avlio had been successful in taking the fullest advantage of the unique opportunity. He regretted the defeat of men of outstanding calibre and ability who, irrespective of. party, would havo added strength to Parliament. A vast amount of Avork Avould need to be done to bring together all the forces opposed to socialism. To tho neAVspapers avlio had supported the party and those avlio recognised the value of the Democrat candidates and their policy, and to the Press Association lie extended his sineerest thanks.
