POLITICAL NOTES
MR FOOXiE’S IDEAS. (Per United Press Association.) AUCKLAND, July 14. Mr Poole, M.P., in the course of his pre-sesslonal address at Ponsonby, referring to the honour conferred on the Prime Minister, said that Sir Joseph Ward could not call himself a -democrat any longer. He (Mr Poole) had no time for hereditary titles. He thought Sir Joseph had made the blunder of his lifetime in accepting a baronetcy. He thought we should have a Hereditary Titles Prevention Bill. As a matter of fact, he did not believe that Sir Joseph intended to come back and stay here. If Sir Joseph Ward resigned his seat it would be quite possible for Sir John Findlay to win Awarua. There were all sorts of reports concerning, other men, but the position was so mixed that everything seemed upside down.
