DNEX.SOM, Esq., and the electors signing tho above reqnisi- a tion. Gekilemek, In response to your very flattering and gratifying request _ I have great pleasure in consenting to be nominated as a candidate for Manawatu at the coming election. I shall take an early opportunity of _ addressing the electors at the various | centres, nnd explaining my political r* views in detail. In the mofctttime I may state that I _ am mora in accord with tho policy of the Atkinson Ministry than with that of any of the numerous leaders on the s other side of the present Honse. Though that Ministry hae no doubt made mistakes I believe the leading members of it have on the whole ,\ worked honestly, according to their lights, for the good of the colony at large, and that especially they have tried to promote the prosperity of the country districts by liberalising the land laws, and by their scheme for the construction of roads and bridges, - tlio partial failure of which through want of funds is attributable to causes . oeyond the control of any Govern- \ ment. I cannot, however, agree with Mr Rolleston's projected schsme of perpetual leasing, or with what it is now the fashion to call the nationalization of the land. Let tho Crown lands be leased on the easiest terms compatible with due provision for survey and road making, but as under the present Act let a purchasing clause i a always be granted after a fair proportion of improvement has been made. The truest nationalization of the YS bind, I hold, is to settle it with freeholders in moderate sized blocks, trusting for revenue to the develop- A ment of the resources of the country ca-used by such settlement rather than to rents extracted by a Central Government from a State tenantry. _ I agree generally with the native polioy of the Atkinson Ministry, and especially so with Mr Bryce's pro- ' posal for the resumption of the preemptive right: : ' lam in favour of secular education; 8 ( and as Jong as the finances of the colony warrant it, of free primary educa- £ tion, and in any case of free education up td the fourth standard. "■ - ' • _ ,1 should like to see our railways managed by a non-political Board, the members of whioh should only be removable in the same manner as -i Judges of the Supreme Court. J ; : Other and minor questions I will j ;dekl with when addressing the elec- 0 . tors face to face. * g If I have the honor to be elected, I can conscientiously say that. I will p endeavour to the best of my ability to - represent the district as a whole, without bias 'in'favonr of any particular part lof it, while remembering at the same j time that a member is elected to _. {watch over the interests of the eolony ] at large. *» •I- - Your Obedient Servant, a D. H. MACARTHUR. r
