It 'is* -strongly urged that tlie Government should put up" an up-to-dato tourist, resort and tap tho hot water from the springs, so that visitors may uso somo m tho hostel. *

, In view of the 'approaching visit of 'S-jr Joseph' Ward (state's Auckland Star), an endeavor is hcing, made by the mors moderate ..section of the f»*ahor Tarty to * ariive at a. basis of r.gix'3meiit that- will obviato the clashing of Liberal and Labor interests at the general elections. / An initial stef> is the 'holding' of a riiect-1 ing m the Trades ;Hall witliin thec6ul".e| of. a fj*w. : days. It iy felt that unless sohie agreement is made that will pre- ] vent thr> splitting of • votes by Liberal .-md Labor candidates, tlie chances -of defeating the Government will be sadly minimised.
