UNHAPPY TORIES
BY SINBAD. The Tories, it appears to me. are not a happy family, for some of them have taken , ill the bungle of the License Bill. I must admit I would not choose to stand in Premier Gordon’s shoes. His large but most unwieldy band is definitely out of hand. Hear Mr Burnett on the point: “The times, I fear, are out of joint. As Shakespeare sa3 r s, 4 Oh !' cUrscd spite, that I was born to set them right.’ Yet shall Temuka’s member shirk, I ask, his self-appointed work? Nay; that would be a bit. too thick. I’m^ -after Gordon with a stick. At most times none can vie with me in meekness and docility. • I’m always pulling with the crew and voting at; -I’m told to do, but on. this Prohibition stunt I bring a stern look to the front. With Coates I’ll settle by and by. Who runs the 9, party, he or I?”
