EVANS, " Hon. Sec. TO THE ELECTORS OF THE SOUTHERN RIDING. LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, AT the request of many of the ratepayers, I have decided to become a candidate at the forthcoming County Election for the position of ono of tiie* representatives of the Southern Riding. My long and continuous residence in the Southern district lias given me a thorough knowledge of its resources and requirements. I recognise that the completion of the Otira Tunnel joining Westland with Canterbury makes it absolutely necessary that a vigorous Public Works policy by both Government and County should be undertaken in order that tiie remoter districts should receive the fullest benefit from that work. The bridging of all rivers from the Wnilio South should bo a cardinal feature in that policy. The extension of the Ross Railway and the improvement of shipping facilites at Okarit-c, *->ruce Ray, Okuru and Jackson’s Bay are all necessary for the development of the land timber and flax of South Westland. For many years I have taken a keen interest in the development of that district and in this connection/ I find that without some constituted standing individual effort has little or no effect. I do not seek election for personal aggrandisement or gain, but feel that I should place the close and practical knowledge of the district what I possess at the services of the ©lectors. If you do me the honour to elect mo I shall use my best endeavours to assist the progress and development of South Westland on the lines indicated above. T have the honour to remain. Ladies and Gentlemen, Your obedient Servant, JOHN RITCHIE.

TO THE ELECTORS OF THE CENTRAL RIDING. LADIES AND GENTLEMEN: AT THE REQUEST of a number of ratepayers, I have consented to contest a seat for tW Central Riding of tile Westland County Council at the forthcoming election. As a resident and ratepayer of many years standing, I claim to be fully conversant with the requirements of the district, and ;f honoured with your confidence, will at all times do my utmost to advance the interests of the Riding in particular, and the County generally. While desirous of curtailing any useless expenditure, I am in favour of a more progressive policy in regard to improved road construction, and would give my earnest attention to the better'maintenance of traffic bridges throughout the Riding. The deplorable tetate if many of our smaller bridges and culverts, I consider, warrants more durablo material being used in their reconstruction. If elected I will do my best to assist all classes of industry and any matter coming before the Council for the betterment of Westland generally will receive my support. In conclusion, I trust to merit your interest and support on polling day. ' I have the honour to be, Your obedient Servant, H. H. MONK, Koiterangi.
