The -'Christchurch Press," in an editorial upon the sudden change of political front of Mr T. Mackenzie, member for Waikowaite, says:—"MrMackenzie unhesitatingly decides to join the big battalions. He assigns various reasons for this one of which strikes us as sufficiently/characteristic and even amusing. 'Sir Joseph Ward/ says Mr McKenzie, with a grand rhetorical flourish, 'is the first Prime Minister that has realised the great possibilities of the Catlins district.' What more can anyone desire? For twenty years Mr McKenzie has been the Diogenes of the House, seeking for a wise man. He has found him in the Prime Minister, who has realised the great possibilities of the Catlins River district."
