THE POLITICAL SITUATION.
Invercargill, January 13
In an interview with the Southland News, Mr R. M’Nab, formerly Minister for Lands, said he did not expect an early appeal to the country, as neither party would care to incur the odium of plunging the country into a general election, thereby postponing the next licensing poll until the end of the next Parliament. The Labour Party was organising with more vigour, and was not anxious for an election before three years, as it would take that time to make the necessary preparations, which he understood were to be fairly extensive, in order to try and put the party in New Zealand in line with Labour in Australia as a political power.
