STARTLING CONFESSION I Democrat Leader too busy for Politics! Mr. T. C. A. Hislop, Mayor of Wellington, and leader of the so-called Democrat Party made a singular confession in a special interview to the Evening Post, Wellington, of May 7th last while contesting the Mayoralty against a Labour candidate. Here is a reproduction of part of his statement: Already overburdened with the cares of office and confessing that his responsibility as Mayor of the Capital City is a full-time task, the leader of the Democrats intends to play with the management of the country in whatever moments he can squeeze out of his L UnW admittedly busy time. B y ■ ■\ ties At the municipal elections he stated: “I stand on a platform of work f \ done, not of words and promises of what I will do.” [”> c^c er« ■ TO-DAY HE STANDS ON THE PLATFORM OF PROMISES THAT HE SO ROUNDLY CONDEMNED “The outlook to-day is unquestionably much brighter than at any time during the past four years,” he said, “but lam convinced ... that 10 ° c \ Wellington s progress, municipally .and from the point of view of the %is individual citizen, cannot be well served by a reversal of the policy °2s ener67 which has proved itself so well in the restoration of city and business dlL stability, but rather by the continuation of that policy, amended as MBbe'- W he * V improving conditions allow.” as sel ve HHuen'i ar ' b yo se st civi c TO-DAY THE LEADER OF THE DEMOCRATS HAS CHANGED HIS TUNE No longer does he appeal for the continuation of a steady programme of development. He wants to scrap the National Government’s „ policy of readjustment and reconstruction WHICH HAS PROVED Fl Ft THP C I ITSELF SO WELL IN THE RESTORATION OF THE COUNTRY CLCV I WlVj . AND BUSINESS STABILITY. He condemns Labour’s wild and extravagant experiments and says: VOTE FOR ‘ The people of Wellington are practical people, they want more than words and empty promises!” NATIONAL Yes, Mr. Hislop, and the same applies to political issues. The practical people of the Dominion want sincerity and more than <2 OV F R K! M EKI T words and empty promises! They want men with sufficient time to 'JvZvEIMXPIEIVI devote to the problems confronting the country. They want to continue steadily along the road to prosperity. C A N D I DATES ! A NATIONAL GOVERNMENT FOR THE NATIONAL GOOD.”-Stanley Baldwin
