The Press was not • admitted, but persons who were present state that Mr David Jones, organiser of the Reform Party, delivered " a speech in which he declared that > since the coming into oihee of the -! present Government, they had dis- >, covered things about Sir Joseph Ward »; that they did not care to repeat." ' j "I want to ask tho Prime .Minister \ ! about this," said Sir Joseph Ward. "■ "Ho will recognise that this is a very extraordinary statement. In the whole of my career I know of nothing that an honourable man should not have done, and I want to ask the Prime ' j Minister if that statement to his know- \ I ledge is true." ' J Mr Massey said he could not imagine Ii Mr Jones making this statement. Ho : was a particularly careful man, and he •': would telegraph to him at once to see 5 ; if the statement was correct.- If it ' [ was, he would have something to say ': later on. At present he did not think ': it was correct. 1 j Sir Joseph Ward: Do you know of ' anything to warrant that statement ' appearing? Mr Massey: My reply is, I do not. '' Mr Hanan: Hear, hear: very fair. MR JONES'S REPLY. The reply received by the Prime Minister from Mr David Jones is as follows: —"Statement false and libellous. 1 Did not notice it till your wire came. Meeting was called to hear address by 'Mr Broadhead on Arbitration , and ! strikes. At the close I was asked to say a few words about my southern visit. Sole reference made to Ward was with reference to business of this session. Made absolutely no reference to past or present political career. Although no reporters present, accuracy I of tho above has been vouched for by. persons who were present." "* CASUALTIES. »■ (PBESS ASSOCIATION TELEGRAM.) ; ' GISBORNE, November 26.
