DIVISION IN RANKS
NATIONAL POLITICAL FEDERATION CHRISTCHURCH DECISION 1 Pei- Press Association. ] CHRISTCHURCH, Sept. 29. A division has occurred in the National Political Federation in Christchurch, and it is likely that a new Liberal Party will be formed. A large number of members of the United Party held a meeting in the city last evening, and passed the following resolution: “As there is undoubtedly a large body of electors in the Dominion who are anxious to avoid the extreme views of the Reform Party on the one hand and the Labour Party on the other, and would gladly welcome an opportunity to associate themselves with a moderate Liberal policy, those present form themselves into a committtee to set up a Liberal Party in this city.’’ It is stated that the decision to form a new party was reached after a very great deal of consideration, and that those behind the movement are working in conjunction with people in the North Island. A further meeting will be held on Friday evening next, when a permanent executive will be set up. It. has already been announced that the new party will contest some of the seats in the city.
