INVERCARGILL SEAT.
SIS JOSEPH WARD’S POSITION. “NOT THINKING ABOUT POLITICS.” When seen at the Dunedin railwaystation as he was passing through to Christchurch, Sir Joseph Ward was approached by a reporter on the question of his again entering the political arena as a candidate for the Invercargill seat at the next election. This has appeared a possibility to some people in view of the announced intention of the Hon. J. A. Hunan, the present member for the constituency, to remove to Dunedin. Sir Joseph answered that he did nofcfeel disposed to give any answer to the.question in the meantime, owing to* a bereavement that has occurred itaH his daughter's family at Christchurch. “Lady Ward and my daughter are isolated at Christchurch,” he said* “and I am really not thinking about politics at all. 1 was asked the same question in Invercargill, and I gave the same answer.” It is understood from another source that Sir Joseph received a number cf unofficial overtures in connection with the Invercargill seat during his brief stay in the southern town.
