THE PRIME MINISTER
INTERVIEWED AT HAMILTON. By Telegraph—Press Association. Hamilton, Last Night. Interviewed by a Waikato Timeg ro> presentative to-day o» the future leade* ship, the Prime Minister said that lie could not see that the people were looking to Mr. Masecy at all. The Opposition had succeeded in discrediting the former Liberal leader, but it by no means followed that the effects of their methods against Sir Joseph Ward implied that the country wanted Mr. Massey to be entrusted with the control of the destinies of the Dominion. Mr. Maisey'6 captains and, generals had vrn many fights in the last campaign, which was bungled by their leader. The length of time the present Government would remain in office was for the House to say. If the present favorable feeling met with by Ministers throughout the Dominion continued, it would be reflected when Parliament met. The Prime Minister made it quite clear that the Government would use no political legerdemain to secure a majority. The country was Liberal at heart, and was looking for guidance on sound, economic and progressive lines. His party met these reasonable aspirations. There could be no doubt of its future.
