THE POLITICAL SITUATION

Sir,—Like “Intelligent Elector,” whose letter appeared in this morning “Chronicle,” 1 felt also the choice of candidates in the Wanganui electorate practically disfranchised anyone who held sound views on what a member of Parliament should be. After attending Mr. Veitch’s meet ing at ifeith Street, however, my line of action was made easier for me, because now I cannot comprehend how any self-respecting citizen, be he a civil servant or other wage earner with a 10 per cent, cut, or farmer or business with a 100 per cent, cut, could do anything else but cast his vote in direct opposition to the hoodlums who did their best to upset the meeting. In my household their arc four votes, aud that meeting satisfied us all, that whatever our choice, we must vote against the representatives of the forces of disorder, and therefore Mr. Veitch, as a result of the meeting re ferrod to, made sure of four previously doubtful votes. Yours. “LAW AND ORDER.” Wanganui, November 24, 1931.
