His signature appeared at the foot of a card instructing seamen how to vote. The card gave a list of candidates approved by Mr Young and his comrades, arid from it we gather this curious conjunction:—

Wellingtan North . . H. E. Holland (Editor of the Reds' official organ). Awarua Sir Joseph Ward

There was a policy sketched under Holland and under Herdman. Under Turnbull appeared the line, "Liberal candidate stands for"— Then came a column of blank space.
