GENERAL ASSEMBLY ELECTION.

TO THE ELECTORS OF WEST LAND— As it is quite impossible for- me to meet you personally during this contest, 1 send t- you a message of goodwill. In the coining contest you have again the opportunity of choosing as your representative that experienced and capable I’arliamciuarhtn Mr T. E. Y. Sccldon. As Lender of the Liberal-Labour I’avty I ask the voters of Mostland whose gospel is not that of the Extremists, to rally round the old Liberal ling and help to return to Wellington a staunch support:’! of the Party. Liberalism is the gospel of the ordinary.man. it stands neither foi the vested interests represented by the reactionary party, nor tor extremism as represented by the Holland party. It declines to teeognise class, hut represents all classes. It is an inclusive, not an exclusive creed. It holds that peace on earth and goodwill towards all men is tlio Gospel of Progress. It declines to admit that any particular class lias a right to dominate the rest of the people. It wishes to give, and will give, full opportunity to all. The Liheral-Lnlirmr Party, if given the opportunity, will place upon the Statute l ook such progressive legislation as w ill_ aid in stopping waste, reducing taxation, and lifting from 'the shoulders ol the people those burdens which the hulk of them have to hear. The late Richard John Seddon, and after him Sir Joseph Ward drove the piles upon which the Liberal ino:'sores of old were firmly placed, and planted the Liberal trees, some of the fruit of which Reform has plucked, and we believe tlmt those beneficient measures will be more sympathetically and wisely administered by the real parents than by the foster-fathers. On behalf of our Party I ask for your support in the coming election for my colleague and friend, Thoma-s B. Y. Seddon. THOMAS M.* WILFORD. Leader Liberal Labour Party. 28th. November, 1925. -Christchurch,
