Twomey, ex-M.L.C, has offered to supply the labour leaders of Christchurch and Dunedin with what he says would make the Labour Party the most popular political organisation in the dominion. While it would do good to the workers, it would injure nobody. The labour leaders of both cities have declined the offer on the ground that My Twomey's proposals might be in conflict with some of their long-cherished ideas. Yesterday Mr Twomey challenged Tom Mann to debate the question of Socialism, the object being to give workers a better j platform, but Maun declined to take ' "up the challenge.
