“MOST REMARKABLE ELECTION,” IS VIEW OF BRITISH PRESS.

SIR J. G. WARD SCORED STRIKING SUCCESS AT SHORT NOTICE. (CXfiited Press Assn.—By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright. > LONDON, November 15. The “Daily Telegraph” says: “New 1 Zealand politics never lack dramatic quality. The country' will now again experience the disadvantage of the three party system. The differences between the Reform and Liberal programmes is almost too subtle to be distinguished here, but it may be suspected that Sir Joseph Ward’s advocacy of a development loan of £70,000,000, from which he would make advances to farmers on easy terms, and his proposal to subsidise minor industries, have pleased many voters who regard Mr Coates as an unduly stern economist.” * The “ Daily Chronicle y remarks: “ New Zealand has been through a most remarkable election. The United Liberal under Sir Joseph Ward, scored a striking success at short notice. The result was obtained by the Liberals definitely opposing both other parties and offering voters who disliked either extreme a distinct third alternative.” —Australian Press Association.
