BY TELEGRAPH—f'BKSS ASSOCIATION
* AUCKLAND, May 10. A telegram sent to Mr Massey by the Prime Minister in regard to the alleged statement by Mr Massey that "a Mackenzie could always be bought," has been received by the Opposition leader. "I sent a courteous telegram to the Prime Minister, asking for his authority for his statement," said Mr Massey this evening. "In reply he has sent me an offensive and insulting telegram. It has given the public a glimpse of the Prime Minister in his true colors, and I am satisfied to leave the matter until we meet in Parliament."
