LONE LIBERAL.
SIR JOSEPH WARD’S PARTY. (BY TELEGRAPH —PRESS ASSOCIATION.) AUCKLAND, June 15. Sir Joseph Ward, the only Liberal member of Parliament, arrived by the Ulimaroa from Sydney to-day, and was asked what his attitude toward the Government’s Labour Opposition and 1 the Nationalists would be,. Sir Joseph Ward replied, with a twinkle in, his eye, that- he proposed to be time to* the .party he was at .present leading. It was at once suggested .to him that there was, in that case, no danger of a split in the party. “That is very true,” he said. “I have no fear of any difficulties' in that direction, and I am equally free from entanglements.” He said l this with intriguing seriousness, and hastened.! to add' that he had formulated a policy which had been unanimously accepted by his party, which would also appoint its own' whips. Sir Joseph, who left to-night for Wellington, appears to be in better health than he has enjoyed for some years, and said he was looking forward to the meeting of Parliament.
