Sports Postponed. Because of heavy rain, and not wishing to cause any damage to Cook’s Gardens, the members of the Wanganui Amateur Athletic and Cycling Club postponed its twilight sports meeting last night. The programme as scheduled will now takeplace on Monday night at 5.45 p.m.
Election Issue. The issue at the forthcoming general election was a simple one, said x. Mr. J. B. Cotterill, M.P. for Wanga- | nui, when he spoke in the Opera House last night. It was whether the county was going to continue the progressive legislation of the past 14 years or was it going to destroy all that had been gained and revert to the conditions which prevailed before the Labour Government was returned to power. He felt sure, however, that the people would not give the National Party an opportunity of putting its policy into practice.
