BOTH LEADERS CONFIDENT. /

%HE PREMIER AND MR MASSES

INTERVIEWED

Interviewed to-day .Mr . Mackenzie claim's to have reasonable confidence of success. "I am," lie said, "in very good heart. 1 might use the Mackenzie motto: 'I am prepared for eitiier fate.' If some members of our partjf reverse their vote, and act contrary to the pledges given at the Liberal conference in March, and by doing so place mi© Qpposition in power, it will mean! a very severe blow to the Liberal Parly, because, undoubtedly, the country is with us. However, Ido not anticipate, any such action."

Mr Mas&ey's preliminary declaration is this: "I am perfectly 'confident thnt the majority of the members will bo found willing to work with the Reform Party, and that they will express their willingness and confidence when the division is taken."
