In the ordinary course the election would have taken place this year, but now it seems probable from tho attitude of Ministers and from what oho hears in the lobbies, that if the war should be still dragline on wheit : Parliament .meets next June a. proposal' for a still further postponement will be made. Not wen the Lab-our-members would be anxious to RO to the polls; while the war was".diverting all attention ' from domestic- affairs.— Wellington Ooiie.spondent.
