POLITICAL NOTES.
(PBESS ASSOCIATION TELEGBAMS.) WELLINGTON, May 12. The Electoral and Libel Bills will be introduced early in the session. The Hon. Minister for Education left for the South this afternoon. DUNEDIN, May 12. The Hon. Mr Larnach has written to the Minister of Justice complaining of the remarks reported to have been made by Judge Kennedy in granting the order declaring R. H. J. Reeves bankrupt. Mr Larnach says that if the Judge had been right in his assumption, he would still have shown unfitness for the position he occupied by the remarks he is reported to have made, but had he known the true facts the verdict, he feels sure, would have been that he (Mr Larnach) had shown extreme leniency to Mr Reeves over a long course of years. Mr Larnach received an invitation to contest Luangahua, but took time to consider. Whatever might have beea his answer to the request, he would certainly not think of opposing Sir R. Stout.
On dit that Mr R. C. Kirk, Mayor of Petone, is to oppose Dr. Newman In his candidature for the Hutt seat at the coming election, in the Government interest.
