A DEMOCRATIC PARTY.
ine member for Masterton, who is at present recuperating at Rotorua, told an interviewer at Auckland that •lie ithought a material change would ibe brought albout ®t the next general ©lections. He ventured the opinion that a democratic party would oome into existence which would be opposed /to the present Opposition and rwould not approve of the Ministry as at present constituted. In Mr Hogg's opinion there are a number of "sweeping reforms" at present needed. The only reform lie actually indicated was one in tfche direction, of providing cheaper ooal for the people. If the member for Masterton will pledge himself to vote against the . present meait, there anay fee some hope for reform. But iso long as he talks against the Government in one breath and votes with it in the next, so long will the "sweeping reforms" remain unaccomplished. Mr Hogg has not yet told us to which parrty he belongs. Ine short stay at ißotorua may strengthen his courage, and he may declare himself, upon his return, an ardent Oppositionist.
