CRITICS OF GOVERNMENT.
PRIME MINISTER'S OOtMPILAINT. (By Telegraph.—Own Correspondent.) TE KUITI, Saturday. Passing through Te Kuiti on his way to New Plymouth the Prime Minister halted for an hour this morning and delivered a brief addreßs from the eteps of the Plunket rooms. On behalf of the citizen* of Te Kuiti a welcome was extended by the Deputy-Mayor, Mr. A. Blackman. Mr. Coates spoke with a hoarseness which evidenced the strenuousnese of his campaign. (He said the Government was asking th© electors to judge the Government on efficiency and merit and nothing else. The lot of the Prime Minister and members of the Government during the period of tfce present Parliament had not been a bed of roeee, but they had, he felt eure, made a creditable showing. His critics and the Press, however, might have been a little kinder. "If those who croak continually against the Government get any satisfaction by blaming the Prime Minister for everything then I am glad I have been of U3e to someone," he remarked.
