R. Hamilton, the unsuccessful eandiclate lor Awarna, Mir {». J. Anderson, M.P., .vxid that unless the Reform Party, when it took over the management, administered the law in a businesslike way, the Labour Party would come in and both the other parties would bo swept out of existence. Mr Msissey had attained an end for which he had fought for nearly twenty years. The men wanted in his Cabinet were not theorists, but men prepared to deal with the affairs of the country dn a businesslike way. He had the opportunity of filling bis Cabinet with such men, for lie had a numf ber of them in his party. The gentlemen elected in the -lortli Island were good, common-sense business man. He was not going to refer to "the South Island members, because they might think it was a matter of self-jprai.se; but there was an opportunity of making a Cabinet of rmsiiiess men, men prepared to place the interests of the country before anything else, and if Mr Mnssey formed tbeGabinet without regard to geographical position, and carried out will at lie (Mr Anderson) lhad suggested, he was satisfied the Reform Party would hold the Treasury benches ,for years.
