OF SUPEUIKTh^DEST. To the Electors of the Province of Auckland. In compliance with, the request of a large number of the Electors, I have to announce that it is my intention to become a Candidate for the Office of Superintendent at the forthcoming Election. I will take an early opportunity of Meeting the Electors and explaining my views on questions affecting the interests of the Province. HUGH H. LUSK.

To the Electors of the Province of Auckland. GENTLEMEN, —In pursuance of the announcement made by me when consenting to become a Candidate for the office of Superintendent of the Province of Auckland that I would take an early opportunity of laying my views before you, I have now the honour to state that for some years past 1 have looked upon the Provincial Government as costing more money than it was worth ; and this view I have repeatedly expressed to some members of the Provincial Council, without being shown by any of them any reason to cause me to alter or even modify my belief. My opinions as to the desirability of getting rid of the Provincial^Government of Auckland have lately been strengthened, as I feel perfectly satisfied that the good derived from its operations are not at ail commensurate with its costs, and as I am quite convinced that nearly all the work done by the Provincial Governments could bo done better, more economically, and with greater satisfaction to the ratepayers through the instrumentality of local Boards and local institutions than by a Superintendent resident in Auckland. In addition to the expense that would in my opinion be saved to the country by the work of the Provincial Council being done by local road and other boards, 1 believe that these boards would work more harmoniously with the General' Government than the Provincial Government has hitherto done; and as the opening up of the country is the undertaking of greatest importance to tho cblony, the beat method of getting the work done should most certainly in my opinion be adopted without Sosa of time. And as regards the goldfields, I entertain no doubt that the people on these fields could manage their affairs without the intervention of a Superintendent not resident in their neighbourhood, and that their local representatives could deal better with the Supreme Government of the colony than a Provincial Government. With reference to the desirability of having the railways pushed on quickly, of course I entirely 1 ~ ;f1 ' rrl t,o fostering the estab-
