Mr Macarthur Speeches

PUBLIC OPINION. Th« Manawatu Times says : — Manewatu is fortunate in possessing as its representative a member who speedily won his way to the front rank in the House, and whose opinions are not lightly esteemed by either party. Th« speeches of our member contain a deal of material worthy of careful consideration by the electors; who have no doubt perused the reports with interest. They fully maintain the reputation of the speaker for ability and clear insight into political questions/ • The Napier News says : —Although Mr Macarthur, the member for the Manawatu district, is a member of the party to which we are most bitterly opposed, we confess to always studying his public utterances with more than usual interest, for they com© from a man of far more than average intelligence. Mr Macarthur is admittedly one of the best authorities on local government in the colony, and his ex-pressed-condemnation of that legislative abortion, -the Hospitals and Ohaitable Aid Bill, will hardly be pleasant reading for the Ministerial mouthpiece, Mr Fergus. The'Wellfngton Poet says : — There is a good healthy ring about Mr Macarthur's speech, and we are glad thai the Ministerial policy, as announced at Qtieenstown, . has so quickly been torn to pieces by such a competent eritic as the member for Manawatu, whc

has hitherto been a staunch Government supporter. The Chronicle says: — Mr Macarthut's speech the other night displayed s a>or© than- average ability in dealing i, with the public questious which were brought under review.
