N.Z. PARTIES
SIR JOSEPH WARD’S VIEWS
(By Telegraph—Press Association)
GISBORNE, March 3
The position of the Parties in the present Parliament was touched on bv Sir Joseph Ward on Saturday. TTe said that in the present Parliament, there were three strong Parties, but all of them had common sense, and none of them wanted another general election in a hurry. His own party had been out for sixteen years, but now its turn had come again. He asked only that they bo judged on their results. Still, what they really wanted was to pull together to have Co-op-eration and mutual trust, with Reform and' United working together for tin* common good, and the case was similar for Labour and Capital. • They should not he flying at each other’s throats, hut should Ik* pulling together, and working for their common good. “One speaker said T was too old,” concluded Sir Joseph. “Well, 1 expect to live for another forty or fifty-years! How much longer do you want us in power?”
