HEREDITARY TITLES.
MR POOLE ON THE PREMIER. Auckland, July 14. Mr Poole, M.P. in a pre-sessional address at Ponsonby, referring to the honour conferred on the Premier, said Sir Joseph Ward could not call himself a Democrat any longer. He (Mr Poole) had no time for hereditary titles, and he thought Sir Joseph Ward had made the blunder of his life time by accepting a baronetcy. He thought we should have an Hereditary Titles Prevention Bill. As a matter of fact, ho did not believe Sir Joseph Ward intended to come back and stay hero. If Sir Joseph Ward resigned his scat, it would be quite possible for Sir James Findlay to win the Awarua seat. There were all sorts of reports concerning other men, but the position was so mixed that everything seemed upside down.
