An unusual happening is reported by a Springvale resident, who had three cows give birth to twin calves, five of which were heifers. “With regard to a Labour Government you very often find that it gets its experience in administration at the expense of the taxpayers. It is up to the taxpayer to use a little bit more vision in his politics and defend himself in advocating his cause.” —Mr. J. Coull at his St. John’s Hill meeting on Saturday evening. “You cannot get away from party — we are forced to it these days. While the official Labour Party is constituted as it is we have to have a strong party to combat it, and any party in the road must be ousted, as it will be at this election.”—Mr. J. Coull, Reform candidate for the Wanganui, seat, in dealing with the three party system in the course of his address on St. John’s Hill on Saturday evening. The Reform candidate for Rangitikei is a little out of the usual run of politicians. He has a good .word to say for an opponent, and admits there is another side to politics. He remarked, on Saturday evening at Kaitoke, that in his three election campaigns he had never indulged in personalities. One of his opponents had, but ho (Mr. Glenn) would not descend to his level. Mr. Duggan (Labour) had fought cleanly. He had attacked on political grounds—as he had a perfect right to do.—but he had indulged in no person■alities. “I don’t know if my opponents have been along said Mr. 1 Glenn. “When they come, I hope you [will give them as good a hearing as you have given me. Mr. Duggan has another side of the story to state and it is only fair that you should hear it.” It is evidently the opinion of Mr. Glenn that some politicians interested in the fusion negotiations were more keen about making their seats “safe” by getting the Liberal and Reform votes than they were about the real purpose of fusion. In referring to the subject at Kaitoke on Saturday night, ■ Mr. Glenn said he thought their tactics .were mistaken. “If I made an eiderdown place .for myself in New Zealland politics and changed my politics iin doing so, I would got what I deIserved from you, and that would be the

/boot. ’ I will make it clear what I [am. I am a Coates man. I come to [toll you just how I stand.” (Applause). Mr. Glenn thought it possible that [those of similar thought would get together after the fight. Ho thought there ought to be only two parties: Those who wished Now Zealand well and had a stake in the country, and those who did not wish it well.
