ELECTION INFLUENCES
WHAT PEOPLE THINK. DIFFERENT POINTS OF VIEW. When a general election comes round there is always a great, deal said about policies and platforms, states the Southland Daily News. It is usually considered necessary for a party to have sumo definite “planks,” but recent experiences make one wonder whether elections really depend upon such things. A farmer was approached the other day and the talk turned to politics. What party was likely to win? “The Government’s all right. It has done its best,” said the farmer, adding the seeming irrelevant statement: “my ewes are doing well and I’ll have fat lambs before Christmas.” A short time later another farmer was visited, and again polities were mentioned. “This Government’s been in too Jong. What, have they done for us farmers anyway.”’ was the bitter comment. Then came a remark, apparently an afterthought: “Six of my cows have come in and not one of them right.” On such things does the fate ot Governments hang.
