THE POLITICAL OUTLOOK
HON. G. W. RUSSELL’S COMMENTS,
ELECTION PRECAUTIONS,
(Special to Times.)
WELLINGTON, Wednesday
The summary published in this morning’s papers of the remarks concerning the political outlook made by Hon. G. W. Russell in Christchurch yesterday, has set many tongues wagging on the subject. Usually well informed people predict that a general election will follow quickly upon the return of the party leaders to the Dominion, probably within a couple of months of their landing in Wellington, and that the familiar bones of contention will he revived in much their old form. It would seem that members of both parties have received hints to make ready for an early contest and though no party organisation can be undertaken by Ministers themselves without offending against the spirit of the “truce,” it is known that many of their supporters are getting their forces together. Possibly an authoritative statement on the subject will be made within the next few weeks.
