Mob Rule.
Dear Sir,—The hooliganism o i that section of Labour extremists which was so evident outside the hall at Mr Forbes’s meeting is sufficient to turn the moderate Labour supporter to an extreme Reformer. We now know what to expect if a Labour Government were returned to power—the militant element would be waiting like a nest of ants at the doors of decent people ready to devour their last element of decency. I have attended a number of Labour meetings and have never yet heard one of their candidates condemn the extremist section of their movement. Therefore, on the shoulders of the Labour leaders must rest the responsibility for the conduct of the outrageous section of the party to which they lend their support. Those of the crowd that hooted the police have little to commend their attitude, as they would be the first to run to the police for protection if they were getting the worst of a rough and tumble.—l am, etc., MAORILANDER.
