Down sdiriewhere'in that crowd, was a man with the world’s largest collection of ancient eggs. He had two for every picture of Mr Coates. •His supply seemed inexhaustible. They were genuine antiques calculated to |mpart a health/ 7 respect amongst the crowd. '• - V* ' . ' \ ■ Sir Joseph Ward was the idol of thq&e thousands. His picture evoked a th’riiljng 'display of demonstrative enthusiasm.

CHRISTCHURCH CAjMPIDATES.

COMMENTS ON RESULTS.

(Special to “Star.”)

CHRISTCHURCH, November 15. The present state of parties in the- ' House is of such a nature that successful Christchurch candidates, approached this’ morning by a reporter, were hot prepared to express definite opinions Th regard to the question of what wijl happen when Parliament assdinWeß? However, they made interesting observations on the result:of tlieElection. ' MrJ.McCombs said it was quite evident {Rat the House would have to ho called together at an early date to decidd the question of thb Government of the day. On present indications, if' would appear that Sir Joseph Ward would have the right to move a no-confidence motion, in . Which all Who Were pledged to put the Coates Government out of office would have ‘to go into the lobby in'the vote Against the Government. “It’is abundantly'plain that the whole country is sick And tired of the Coates* dovenimenf,” Mr McCombs added. ' Mr A. McLachlan said that the fight this time had been between'those put to serve the ’community as a whole, and those who were put to catch votes serving vested interests. Taking the election as a ! whole, the unpledged men got home while the pledged men Had'not. This w'pnt to show that the intelligence of the people of Ne'w Zealand, was of tod high a standard to allow prejudice and mock patriotism to run the country any longer. Asked what he thought would happen when Pafliariieiit assembled, Mr McLachlan ! Said on tile present state of the parties,' he thought that Sir Joseph Ward would be asked to carry on. He thought that with the help of the Independent' members, most of whom were pledged to the United Party, with the Kelp "Of some of the more progressive ’Reformers, Sir Joseph would be able to form a Government that would be the beXt the country had seen for a long time.' He did not think, there was any chance of a Coalition being fanned between United and Labour Parties. The Labour Party would want to put their scheme of nationalisation into operation. In his opinion, the country was not ready for that by a long way. Even if Sir Joseph Ward were not able to carry on, the UnitedLabour parties combined would be strong enough to bring proportional representation into force before another appeal was made to the country. He was 'Satisfied that under this system of voting, the United Party would go back with between forty-five and fifty sdats. ‘ Even under the present system,‘he thought that if the election had been held in a month’s time, the' United Party would have got ten niore seats. The result, as far as the United Party' lb' cohceimed, is splendid, said Mr R. W. Hawke', the newly-elected member for Kaiapoi. “I can see nothing surer than our being placed on the’ - Treasury Benches The Labour Party will not want another ' election immediately, therefore the United Phr'ty can expect assistance from that quarter.” 1 As far as Kaiapoi is concerned, Mr Ha#ke said many people who voted agftfrist him had congratulated him on his Success. He had no doubt, in future, that Kaiapoi would be contested by two parties. This would give a chance to the primary producers in the electorate to be fully represented, which was most desirable, seeing the primary producers were the backbone of the country. W feej as I? 1 had Just come through a quarry, accident," said Mr E. J.

Howard. ’“So far it is impossible to sUy how many are: killed and how many just ‘wprinded. With so many retiirns' tb come'in; I airihot sure of my own position.” Mr Howard’added that one thing was’ cle'ar, that was,' none of the parties liad a majority, and ‘that any of the parties was’ at the mercy of the' other two. It was impossible to say what would happen. If he were given’ the power of 'a magic ' carpet and could have his wish put into operation, he would 1 suggest the two largest parties, Reform arid United, get together.’ It was'fairly clear that the Labour Party would' nbt join with either of' the other parties. On the other hand,’ he felt sure that on a noconfidence motion, the Labour vote would put Reform out of office. What would happen after that, no one could say. It would depend on the legislation brought down, but it was too early to say What would happen. Too many seats were not yet secure.

LABOUR’S ATTITUDE. After expressing thanks to the people of ’ his constituency for the splendid support Mr D. G. Sullivan (Avon) s'aid'that with regard to Labour’s showing in the other Christchurch seats, he was delighted with the wonderful effort made by Mrs McCombs in kaiapoL The Labour movement, and the women of New Zealand, were justly proud of her. Nothing seemed more certain than she was destined Io be'in'Parliament in the near future.. He was greatly disappointed 1 with tjie result at Christchurch North. He knew Mr Archer had a hard job, but towards the end of the bfltnpaign he’felt'he was going to win. Hi's'defeat’was a hard knock, but the Mayor ’was a great sport, and took defeat with characteristic courage. He ha'd expected Mr McCombs,’ who had in public faVour, to 'wifi 1 , hut ’ his’ 2000 majority surpassed his’ best hopes, ’it was all the mbrd Welcome. A charge of dynamite could riot' dislodge : Mr Armstrong' (Christchurch f EaSt),' and though Mr Howard (Christchttrch South) had the majority reduced,’ he would come ” back next time,' the same way as Mr McCombs had this tinie. He (Mr SulliVan) Welcomed tlie victory of Mi* Carr at Timafu, and was greatly pleased with the f good showing by Mr Cook at Waitaki; He was 1 much disappointed ? indeed, that two good comrades, Mr J. A.’ Lee (Auckland East), arid Mr F. Bartram (Grey Lynn) had missed the bus, but he was sure they-would,re-turn.

With regard' to the national situation, Mr Sullivan said: Of course, no one knows what is going to happen. This seems clear, however, that 'Mr Coates and his Government have lost the ‘ confidence of the country, and should forthwith resign. That is the coiistitutiorial course. In that event, I suppose Sir Joseph' Ward will be sent fbi* by His Excellency. If "Mr Coates Abes not resign; he is certain to be voted but on a’ no confidence motion. The United Leader would presilfnably then be : sent fpl*?' He could not, however, carry on withbut the support of others outside his party. That being so, lie may elect'to endeavour to arrange a Coalition Government with Mr Coates. Alt'erriafively, he lhay try to deflect sufficient support from Mr Coates to enable him to carry on that way,’dr he may try to function without such 'an arrangement, trusting to Labour’s hostility to the Tories to keep him in office. “I do not tliink Labour will give guarantees Joseph Ward or any- one else, buv he could be reasonably sure that on those matters, ori which Labour would not suppoi't him, Rdform members would. However,*’l' am only thdbi’isirig.‘ \Ve nuly nbt khoW r what'developments are taking, place, till Parliament is called together, Which I have no" doubt ivill be "almost immediately. I am frankly glad, however, that Reform is but. Whatever does happen, Laboui* will retain its independence. With twenty members, it will be in a much stronger position than was the case in the last Parliament.”

Mr H. T. Armstrong (Christchurch East) .said: “I am not Surprised at the fall of the Government, but I am Somewhat surprised at the progress made by the United Party. * I jiad hoped for napre progress as far as ‘the Labour Party was concerned. It was impossible to predict with confidence wh’at is going to Jia’ppen. It appears to me that Parliamerit will have to be immediately called together. Before that, no doubt each pary will meet in caucus. Until each party decides on its attitude it will be hard to say what is going to happen. One thing, the Labour* Party will have, to consider will be the possibility of Sir Joseph Ward being the next Prime Minister. You ban depend on this, however, Our party will not betray Labour principles whatever does happen.”

MR ARCHER DISAPPOINTED. ,f< /, . ~ : <’•( - ■; ' ■ - “ Rev. J. K. Archer, National President of the N.Z. Labour Party, said fo-day: “Anything I say is but the expression of my ' personal opinion, because naturally, I have not had the opportunity of consulting the members of the National Executive. It seems to me quite obviousi however, that we shall entertain no thought of coalition or compromise, we shall leave the two parties which now dominate the situation quite out of the question, as •(to which is to be the Government and .Which is to be the opposition, we shall be in the key position and hold the balance of power. We shall not, I feel ’ sure, take up a dog-in-manger attitude, and refuse to support a proposition brought down simply because it is not brought down by ourselves. On the contrary, I have no doubt our people will support any proposition which •seems to be good for the people generally, but they will not allow anything to go through the House, which 'means reaction. The election seems to suggest a drift of things still in our .direction. We have suffered a few serious losses, but these are more than counterbalanced by notable gains. Our •aggregate strength will be considerably greater than it was in the last ■parliament. Meanwhile, we shall remember owing to the state of affairs that now exists, another election may sprung upon the country at any moment. Wo shall naturally try to be prepared for it' whenever it comes.” Disappointment with the result of £he Christchurch North election in which he finished up at bottom of the (poll was expressed by Mr Archer. “To bo quite frank,” he said, “the result \in Christchurch North was both a surprise and disappointment to my friends and myself. At the same time, we are not going to overlook the fact that ■bad as it is, it indicates we have takbn p step forward as compared with three •years ago. The vote of the Reform candidate has been reduced by 1116, which makes him a minority representative, instead of a majority representative. The Labour vote has been increased by 1029, while the middle party’s vote has only increased

by 26. At ten o’clock last evening, Mrs Archer and I entertained our election committee to supper at Dixieland, (.When it was decided to hold a business meeting next Thursday evening, to |ake the first step towards organising for the next election.” Mr Archer concluded by remarking: .“‘We have lost the battle, but are going to win the war.”

A POOR PROPHET.

(Special to “Star.”)

CHRISTCHURCH, November 15.

Possibly Mr E. J. Howard, who scraped in for Christchurch South with a majority of only 381 votes over his .United 'opponent, now feels thoroughly .corivinced that he is no prophet. ■ -Speaking at a lunch hour meeting at the Addington workshops recently, 'Mr Howard’ said: “I am ho prophet. I know the difficulty of trying to pick ’em, but I venture the opinion that the so-called United Party will hot capture a single seat in New Zealand, apart from one or two the old Nationalists held in last Parliament.”

Mr Howard predicted that in the new parliament, the United Party •Would consist of Sir Joseph Ward and Mr George’ Forbes. How far out in his calculation can be gauged from a Study of the state of the parties and the election result in Christchurch south. MR. TURLEY’S DEFEAT.

After the results ’of the Hurunui poll had been made known, Mr F. Turley, the Labour candidate, speaking from the verandah roof beside the screen, thanked his supporters for votes recorded for him, and said the, small poll in his favour was due to the fact that it had been raised against him that he was not the official candidate for the party.' He assiired them that he would be back at next election as official candidate. Judging by the state of the parties, he predicted that there would be another election before lorig.

MB G- C. BLACK AT REEFTON

(Our Own Correspondent.)

REEFTON, November 16. Mr .G. C. Black, fhe newly-elected representative for Motueka, arrived at Reef ton last evening by special, car. The Inangahua Silver Band and members of Mr Black’s Committee journeyed to Cronadun to meet him, and a large crowd assembled. Mr Black Lad met with a series of spßndid receptions along the road, and the gathering at Reefton was most enthusiastic. The newly-elected member was accompanied by Hon. Roderick McKenzie (formerly Minister of Mines and Public Works), Messrs H. Manoy, Smith and Colvin, of Motueka. The Band preceded the arrival of the party, and as the car containing the visitors .arrived the new member was greeted with “See the Conquering Hero Conies,’’ and for a few moments the crowd about the car would not allow him to alight. Finally he was enabled to get on to the balcony of the Southern Cross Hotel, where the members of the Reception Committee assembled, together with the visitors. Mr Ihos. E. Williams (President of the Miners’ Union) welcomed Mr Black to his home town and congratulated him on attaining the position of M.P. Hon. R. McKenzie, who thanked the people of Reefton for their reception and for their help in winning the election, said he had canvassed the northern end of the electorate and was assured of the return of Mr Black very- early in the if the Reef-, ton people did their duty, and in that they had not failed. Mr Black had a big responsibility, and he was sure that he would not fail in carrying out his duties as their representative in Parliament. Mr Black, who was loudly cheered when he came forward to speak, thanked all who had supported him, and placed him as their representative, the election fight had been clean, short, and free from personalities,, and lie would indeed be honoured if he attained the esteem in which their late representative, Mr R. P. Hudson, was held by the members of all parties in the House of Representatives, and he would be satisfied if no other honour came to him. No doubt they were surprised' at the result of the election in the northern towns, but in that he had to thank his committee, who had worked hard for his return, and whom be now introduced, Hon. R. McKenzie. M.P. for Motueka, from 1896 to 1914, who had done good work and manifested a fatherly interest m his work and for which he was deeply thankful. Mr Harry Manoy, a former president of the ’New Zealand Rugby Union ; Mr Smith, a member of the Motueka. Borough Council ; and Mr Colvin, secretary to the United Party at Motueka, and who had rendered signal service and not belied his name. Mr Black stated he was amazed at the way in which the northern part of

the electorate was organised, and such a change of public opinion was a splendid tribute to the work done. The work on the Reefton side of the Hope Saddle was shown at the ballot-box. He would subordinate hi.s personal interests to the district’s ’ needs, endeavour to preserve their liberties and try to make the ideal of the Government of the people by the people and for the people come true arid remember the utterance of the late Rt. Hon. R. J. Seddon, P. 0., in 1879, “That

he would not forget that he represented people who were manly and courageous, and he hoped to be a gentleman and act accordingly.” He thanked all whose work had helped him "to win the day. New Zealand had answered the criticism of their policy as “Bor-

row, Boom,"and Burst,” as the present Government had a boom in 1925 and the bubble was burst in 1928, and he sincerely thanked them for voting Reform off the Treasury Benches and wished them Kia Ora. Mr H”Marioy thanked the people for their reception. r The chief worry at the Motueka end was as to what was being done at Reefton, but the ballot showed 7 that the personality of their

representative had impressed them, and he was sure Mr Black would ably represent' them. He called for three cheers for Mr Black, which were heartily rendered, and afterwards asked their indulgence, as' they were all

tired. '' j Ml* G. C. Black thait«efl the people of Reefton on behalf of his father arid for' ’their tribute ' of'■ respect to him in placing his son as their* representative. ’ “Mr T. Flannigan was next called for and he briefly thanked the gathering. “For He’s a Jolly Good Fellow” was rendered by tlie Band arid the gathering dispersed: SOME OF THE WINNERS. MR C. H. CLINKARD.
