FICTITIOUS INTERVIEW WITH
LADY WARD
rPiui Riu-ss Association. l WELLINGTON, Oct, 12
A New York paper publishes what purports to be an interview with Lady Ward while in America, in which she is credited with saying: “Women are a powerful factor in New Zealand affairs. They can make or mar candidates. They have been great factors in many great victories for righteousness. They have practically stamped out the liquor vice, and hoped to see the day when there would not be a saloon in the land.” Questioned on the subject today. Lady Ward said she was asked by'the representatives of many papers for interviews when abroad, but declined in every instance. .She expressed surprise at the report of the alleged interview. She had_ stated privately that the women of New Zealand took full advantage of the right to vote, and the conferring of the vote had, generally speaking, had a good effect. She was not asked by anyone for her opinion on the liquor question, and had expressed no opinion on it. The remarks in the alleged interview were not correct.
