Sir Robert Stout re the Premiership.
WANGANUI, Aug 6
The Wanganui Women's Political League held its annual meeting in the Oddfellow’s Hall on Saturday night, when a large audience was addressed by Sir R. Stout on Women’s Alission in Politics. In his introductory remarks Sir Robert said there were pleasant and sad memories associated with Wanganui. He referred to his long intimacy with the late Mr Ballance, and said but for that gentleman's request he would not now be in polities. It was at the late Premier's request, and dying wish, that he should come in and lead the party Mr Ballance had lead, as he feared the party being led by sonic uufitted to the position. Sir Robert felt this explanation was due to the memory of AltBallance. None could say at this juncture that he desired to make it for persona aggrandisement.
