IS IT A HOAX?
THE SEPARATIST CIRCULAR.
The Christchurch Times states that local members of Parliament to whom the Blenheim telegram relating to a separatist movement in the South Island was referred had not heard of the party. They were inclined to doubt its existence. Mr H. Holland said he had heard nothing of the movement, and Mr H. S. S. Kyle accepted the title with mirth. “I wonder what their slogan is,” he remarked. A business man, interested in politics, suggested humorously that a former Christchurch M.P. was behind the movement. “Someone is either having a colossal ‘leg-pull’ or it is a new political party,” he said. The clerks of the various local bodies near Christchurch had heard nothing of the organisation.
