ELECTION COMMENTS

SUVA, Sept, 13,

Sir Joseph Carruthers, interviewed, expressed the opinion that Mr Bruce would win the election, especially if he avoided antagonising Mr Hughes. New South Wales would be considered to give better results than last year and other States about, the same as last election. He strongly sympathised with Mr Hughes whose splendid leadership during the war period, deserved better treatment for him, especially by the Country Party. Knowing Mr Hughes better than most people, he thinks he would respond to a more generous attitude by the press and. the Party to which he was naturally inclined—the Nationalists.
