MR. E. P. LEE AND SPEAKERSHIP
"Mr. "Wright* has earned.'his position1 fairly," says the " Christclmrch "Star" (Liberal). "Ho is easily the most vigorous speaker in the House, in a. physical sense, and his talents in this direction are likely to stand him in good stead against a noisy Opposition. He is a tireless -worker, and has stud-
ied educational problems deeply enough to ensure success in his now undertaking. Sir Heatonl Rhodes's appointment and the transferring of the AttorneyGeneralship to Mr. Rolleston will strengthen the belief that is held in some quarters that Mr. E. P. Lee may bo nominated for tho Speakership, unless he in to become Chairman of Committees. The possibility of a change in the Speakership is interesting because it would deprive Labour of the position of official Opposition, but it may suit Mr. Coates's book-to let Mr. Holland havo his chance, and in that case Mr. Loe would have to wait for the preferment which is considered to be his due."
