OTAKI ELECTORATE'S REFORM CANDIDATES.

(To the Editor}

Sir, —In your Thursday's issue you publish, certain suggestions from Mr Byron Brown re method of selecting u candidate to represent the Government in this constituency at the forthcoming general election. I regret that Mr Brown has been so precipitate in rushing into print, as there is no pressing necessity for such feverish anxiety on his part. The selection of a candidate is the business of the Keforni Parfy, which will take the necessary steps, to be approved by the majority of the Reform supporters in the constituency. : Such action cannot be decided off-hand in the manner suggested by Air Brown. When committees have bee-n formed in the various centres and the executives elected, no doubt any suggestions Mr Brown or any other prospective candidate desires to make will receive full and fair consideration. Mr Brown addresses mo through your columns as "Secretary of the- I'eform Committee. ' 1 consented reluctantly to act as secretary pro tern, at a preliminary incotiiiK of Reform supporters roprescnlative of many parts of the electorate keld at Foxton some time since, bub Foxton has no desire to act except in conjunction with every other part of the constituency. I will have pleasure in submitting Mr Brown's proposal to the executive when it mis been set up. Thanking you in Foxton, Bth May, 1914-
