HON. A. D. McLEOD
INDISPOSITION NOT SERIOUS
A denial of the rumour that he would resign his portfolio on account of health reasons was given by the Minister of Lands (Hon. A. D. McLeod) when speaking at the opening of the Martinborough Bowling Club on Saturday. ‘‘Just a word in reference to what might be considered a personal matter,” said the
- Minister. “As ’ you are aware, I | have for the past s month or two i been having cons siderable trouble i with my eyes, and ss a consequence ) f understand nim- ; ours are current ) that I intended rej signing my posii tion in Parlia-
ment. I heartily agree with those
who say that no man should continue to hold any position which his state of health will not permit his doing justice to. That time, I trust, has not arrived as far as I am concerned. The most reccnj, conference with my doctors gives the assurance that: a reasonable spell from arduous eye work should restore me fully to health, and in face of that it would neither be fair to you as electors of the Wairarapa nor to my colleagues and leader to throw in the towel on receiving the first blow in the short ribs.” Mr. McLeod is expected to resume his Ministerial duties to-morrow.
