At the conclusion of his address the speaker answered a number of questions satisfactorily. Mr. A. Way. organising secretary for the Rangitikei electorate, spoke on the aims and objects of the New Zealand National Party, stating that the results of the organisation had exceeded the most sanguine expectations.
