NO POLITICAL PACT.
DISCLAIMER BY PREMIER. (Bv Telegraph—Press Association.) WOODVILLE, Wednesday. According to telegrams received by the Prime Minister, Sir Joseph Ward, the report of the speech made by him at Gisborne on Saturday has created the impression in some quarters that a pact exists between the Reform and United Parties. . “It is hardly necessary for me to repudiate the existence of any such understanding,” said the Prime Minister to-day, “but, to remove any misapprehension that has arisen, I wish to repeat the actual words used by me. These were: ‘Co-operation of all sections is required to advance the country’s best interests. What the want is to pull together. We want Reform, United, and Labour working with each- oLher. We want mutual trust and forbearance, and not each ai the other’s throat all the time.’ ”
