The Cyclopedia of New Zealand [Wellington Provincial District]

[introduction]

Of the four gentlemen who represent the Wellington City and suburbs in the House of Representatives, the Hon. Sir Robert Stout, K.C.M.G., stands out first and foremost as a politician. He has had a long career as a statesman, and was twice Premier of the Colony, and had previously held office as a Minister of the Crown. Sir Robert himself is a force to be reckoned with in the House; his colleagues, Messrs. Bell and Duthie and Dr. Newman (who represents Wellington suburbs) all occupy seats on the Opposition Benches, and may be said to be prominent members of Her Majesty's Opposition.
