Miss Elizabeth Bobbett said she was also disappointed in not having had at least another thousand, and referred to a whispering campaign that affected her, being an Independent. She hoped that Mr. Deering, whom she congratulated would allay that whispering campaign and lying propaganda, and that he would, as a farmer, throw his weight whole-heartedly on the side of the farming interests in the Dail because they had so few farmers there.
