POLITICAL TANGLE
"HANGING ON TO LIFE BY HAIR TRIGGER." Christchureh, May 31. "We are a Ministry hanging on to life by a hair trigger," said the Hon. G. Laurenson last night, "but I do not think there is a man treacherous or base enough to pull the trigger. If they are going to turn us down they are going to put in a reactionary crowd. We hear Mr. Massey talking about being a grand Liberal. I have sat in the House with him for twelve years, and every measure for the good of the masses has been persistently and consistently opposed by his party. They say now that they 'have changed—that the leopard lias changed his spots and the Ethiopian his skin. Only trust them, and you will find out what kind of Liberals thev are!"
