With regard to the proposed "Absolute Majority Bill" Mr Herries, M.P., is of opinion that it is unfair to the country districts, as it will be extremely difficult to get the electors to the polls a second time. It is hard to get them once, and if they have to vote a second time it is possible that members will still be elected by minorities of the voters. The absolute majority is all right for the cities as the electors can easily get to the polling booths, but in the country constituencies we are afraid that the great preponderance of voting power will be ] secured at the small townships. The second ballot will also mean enormous expense to the candidate, as he is certain to work up to the taking of the second ballot. Then he will probably have Ministers invading doubtful electorates, promising all sorts of things in order to secure the return of their candidate. For Bronchial Coughs take Woods' Great Peppermint Cure. Is 6d and 2s <sd.
