REPLY TO MR WILFORD THE OTHER. SIDE OF THE CASE. WELDINGTON, May 20. In a statement to the Press, Mr. James, literary secretary to the Reform Party, denies Mr. Wilford’s statements as to machine-made politics and machine-made resolutions made by the Reform Party. He criticises Mr. Wilford for making statements of a personal nature, and his “sally outbursts” against the Prime Minister, the Reform Party and himself regarding the Hugh St. Leger case, which he says Mr. Wilford described as a shocking instance of oppression on the part of an unprincipled Government—a Government of which Mr. Wilford was a member. To make the intention of Parliament clearer in regard to the assessment of rents on grazing leases, over which holders had the right of perpetual renewal, the legislation Mr. Wilford complains of was passed with his concurrence, for the legislation was allowed to go unchallenged by Mr. Wilford. Mr. Wilford’s references to the “poison gas factory’’ which Mr. James was alleged to conduct in the interests of the Reform Party at Te Arolia, are of an insulting character. Mr. James’ friends are not likely to accept that estimate of his character. As to alleged ma-chine-made resolutions regarding Mr. Massey’s representing New Zealand at the coming Economic Conference, and the Auckland presentation, the various resolutions speak for themselves and bear sufficient impress of originality to give the. answer to Mr. Wilford’s suggestions. Apart from that, the Auckland movement, says Mr. James, is purely nonpolitical in character, and originated with the Mayor of Auckland, who is not a supporter of Mr. Massey. As to the representation of Auckland city constituencies, while Mr. James admits they are not represented by Reform members, he reminds Mr. Wilford that they are not represented by Liberals, and that In these constituencies at the General Election the Reform vote was more than double that recorded by candidates supporting Mr. Wilford.
