Tributes to the Dead Leader

Tributes to the Dead Leader.

In the House of Representatives on the Tuesday following Mr. Holland's death, members of both sides of the Chamber spoke in terms of deep sorrow of the so tragic passing of their fellow-legislator. The Prime Minister, Mr. Forbes, described his fearlessness, his integrity, his kindliness of nature, his thoroughness and his unsleeping vigilance in the discharge of his political duties.

Mr. Coates spoke with feeling of his admiration for the character of the late Leader of the Opposition. He described him as a clean fighter, one who never hit below the belt; he was straightforward, sincere of purpose, a man whose life was a great example to others.
