The Manawatu Herald. THURSDAY, JUNE 20, 1907. A LOSS THAT GROWS WITH TIME.
Ten years work a considerable change in the New Zealand House of Representatives. Out of the seventy four members that occupied the benches in 1897, there remains in the present House only thirty. Of the fortyfour “absentees,” fourteen are dead, three have been elevated to the Council, and twenty seven have been defeated or relegated to private life. The Maori members have attached themselves pretty tenaciously to their seats. Only one of the original quartette —Wi Pere, Kaihu, Heke and Parata — has disappeared, Wi Pere the valiant having been vanquished by Ngata. Of the fourteen that have joined the great majority three were Ministers of the Crown — Messrs Seddoh, McKenzie \ £33
and Cadman —and three were ex-Ministers Messrs Larnach, Rolleston and George Fisher.
