HON. J. A. MILLAR.
The aircuiife'tanccis under which the Hon. J. A. Millar retired from the cant-eat- for the Premiership are such as to point to the conclusion that his ©arly retiirement from politic® is profriable.' Mr Millar was undoubtedly itdie strongest man m the decadent Ministry. He was the .only one in stlhe Party who could be regarded in the light, of a leader. And yet, because his views' on the licensing and gambling questions did not- suit one or two of the Labourites and Independents, he was deliberately passed over. The fact is. that the Labourites and Independents are ruling the political roost. They did not want Mr (Mackenzie as Premier, but they accepted liim in preference to Mr Miliar, presumably because, he was more pliable. The" treatment accorded the Minister for Kail ways is little short of, an insult, and is not: likely to be 'forgotten.'' ' ' ■
