*THE
WORKER*
Brisbane

M'Donald, Labour member for Flinders, has been having rather a rough
time of it while on tour through his electorate. Muddy roads and
flooded creeks so delayed him that on one occasion in order to keep
an appointment with his constituents, he was compelled to ride 125
miles in 30 hours. Up to March 23rd
he had travelled 500 miles, and by the time he arrives home again he
will have covered 950 miles on horseback. The position of Labour in
Cloncurry is very secure, as the diggers are “real hummers.”
