"POLITICAL FEAR."
MR. COATES AND THE UNITED PARTY.
"RESORTING TO TRICXERY."
SIR JOSEPH WARD'S CHARGE.
(By Telegraph.—Press Association.)
DUNK DIN, Sunday.
The early portion of Sir Joseph Ward's address to a vast audience in His Majesty's Theatre last night was occupied in replying to his opponents who, lie said, were trying to mislead the people into the belief that the United party did not count. The Prime Minister and the Minister of Lands Were the first to make that statement, Jbut during Mr. Coates' Northern tour he had had only one thing to fight against— the United party. Mr. Coates was suffering from political fear. If he were not afraid of the United party why did he pay it so much attention?
If the United party beat Mr. Coates and Mr. Holland moved a vote of noconfidence Reform would vote with Labour to turn the United party out, and, he might add, the United party would do the sftme to turn Mr. Coatee out. Mr. Coates was at present resorting to trickery and the United party was not going to be beaten by the foolery of a party which politically was going to the dogs.
