SIR JOSEPH WARD.
NOT SEEKING RE-ELECTION. SEVERAL SEATS OFFERED Z Almost immediately following the -announcement of election results Sir-Joseph Ward received five offers from members who were prepared to resign in order 1 that he might recontest their seats. To- these Sir Joseph replied thanking the members for their generosity, but declining .-to accept any of the offers, as he had no intention of re-entering the political arena at present.
Since the election Sir Joseph Ward nas been enjoying a quiet spell in Wellington with his family and friends out of therpoli? tical hurly-burly. The only reminder heias - had of the political life has been the.messages he has received and which had to be replied to. The Liberal leader has >a-.e-ce-.ved thousands of kindly communications from persons in all walks of life, and -all shades of opinion. Messages have- come from Liberals, Reform members,, .• and Labour candidates, and from Great Britain, Canada, America, and Australia.
