Speaking on Dominion Day at Waikouaiti, Mr. Mackenzie said lie believed ths Ward Cabinet was endeavouring to honesty administer the affairs of the country, and he would support the Government that did &o. He states now that the attitude he then took up was the ricjht one. "I, for one, in view of the change that has come over the position of public affairs, intend to support Sir Joseph Ward, and to encourage him in every way in doing good work for tho people of this Dominion. . . I cannot refrain from expressing the opinion jthat unless at this juncture or in the near future other public men should see their way to do likewise- it will, I fear, require no gift of second, sight to foresee into whose hands the balanco of power in this country will shortly fall.
