PRAISE FOR MR COATES.
RECEPTION AT GUILDHALL. DIRECTNESS ADMIRED. (Special to Daily Timm.) WELLINGTON, December 7. Mr H. Myers, K.C., who has been in England for the better part of the year, writes from London under date November 1, stating that the Prime Minister of New Zealand (the Rt. Hon. J. G. Coates), “seems to have made an excellent impression at the dinner given at the Guildhall by a number of patriotic societies to the visiting Prime Ministers at which there were several hundreds present. He made what I think was generally regarded as a very good speech. He abstained from flag-waving and spoke in simple language on practical issues. He had an exceedingly good reception. The people here, from what I could see and hear, liked his simple, direct, and manly method of saying what he has to say. I do not think that the people of New Zealand will have any reason to complain of their representative.”
