TO THE ELECTORS OF WAIAPU. JQADIES AND GENTLEMEN,— 1. Having resided for very many years in your district, knowing all its unbounded resources, and its negteoted requirements, I had no hesitation in at onoe consenting, at the request ol a great number of my friends, to contest the Waiapu Electorate m opposition to the Bon Mr Carroll, 2. I am opposed to the present Administration.

3. Every Crown tenant should, in my opinion, ba able at any time ta acquire the freehold of his heme, at the unimproved value of the land at the time he took up his lease. It ia grossly unjust to subjeol the tenant farmers of the State to payment of periodical increases of values of rentals or purchase moneys, as their labors and arduous sacrifices have created these increases, 4. The Maori Gaud Councils are hopeless failures, and the look-up of all Native lands since 1900 has retarded, and is retarding, the progress ol this distriot. The Bon. Mr Car roll is responsib e for this policy, which, as a colonial policy has altogether failed, and which is deeply injurious to the district he represents, 5. The present Administ cation have shamefully negleoted the rouding of the Waiapu Electorate, and our Member has acquiesced in, put up with, and is responsible for that neglect. During the ton years or more of the Seddon administration tbeWaiapu Electorate has been left out of all substantial divisions of Publio Works Fund lor roads and bridges. The term “The negleoted North” applies with much greater force to •• The neglected East.” Ever moneys due under publio statutes are w.th-heid, or delayed, until, when received, tuey ora expended under the most wasteful circumstances Main roads and bridges, whioh are for all time, and for Natives and Europeans alike, have to be made out of loans laised upon the seourity of the lands of the pioneer settlers, while other districts have had these roads made for them. 6. A section of our Bailway (To Karaka to the Motu) ought to be put in hand at once, and railway construction oominondod at Opotiki, Tauianga, x.otorua, or Waihi, on such icute as may be determined. 7. Bpeoial provision Bhould be made to put woiking men, and small settlers, on land under the homestead ana deterred payment systems, the State buildiDg houses when required. Reserves sbojlil be maue for ohurches, schools, libraries, eto., and grants mane for the erection of these buildings. 8. The time has now arrived when we can reasonably ask for something to be done for a colonial harbor lor Poverty hay. Our exports warrant this, being high on the list lor New Zealand, and increasing rapidly. Our Harbor JBoard is, no doubt, doing what It can, but it cannot make a harbor in tna river, and its expenditure of loan moneys on saoh an object should cease. 9. In viow of recent events In the East, every young man should have a naval, or land, defence training. The future of the colony depends on our ability to defend our- | selves. 10. I am in favor of Local Option, and -a free right at all times for the people to deal as they choose with liquor reform. Colonial no-license, if praotioaole, would make New Zealand, proportionately with population, the wealtmest and fairest land on earth. 11. As a farmer, I represent the most important industry in toe colony, rural products being our principal source of wealth, and lam convinced tnat we should make more liberal lana laws, and offer every inducement to enable people on the land to become producers.
