OUR POLITICIANS.
Your correspondent, "Aucklander," asserts that Mr. Coates has shown himself one of the strongest men in the rccent political life of the country. In what way? Mr. Coates, who went into Parliament under the Liberal banner in 1011, changed into a different jersey at a critical moment in 1912, and has since been a member of the most incompetent, devoid-of-policy party this country has known—the Reform party. Mr. Coates is now a leader in the so-called Coalition-—a party apparently a3 lacking in constructive thought as Reform. The days of Liberalism disappeared with the repeal of the second ballot by the Massey Government, otherwise the sojourn of Reform on the Treasury benches would have been brief, which no doubt would have been of great benefit to what was once "God's own country." C. SCOTT.
