Liberals particularly and other folks spasmodically, have been wondering for some time concerning the Hon. G. W. Russell, known down through the years as “Rtccarty” Russell, due to his aforetime connection with the Riccarton electorate. The ex*Cabinet Minister has just disclosed himself—the discovery took place last week in Auckland. What have you been doing with yourself? asked a curious newspaperman. Mr Russell replied: “Since the election of 1919, when I was defeated at the poll, I have devoted my spare time to literary pursuits. One of my books, ‘New Zealand To-day, has gone all over the world, and already a second edition is in sight. I have just completed another, 'Citizenship/ which I hope in due course may find a place in the school curriculum."
