To the Electors of the Town of Christchurch. Gentlemen, HAVING been frequently requested to come forward as a Candidate, at the ensuing Election for Members of the Provincial Council of Canterbuly, and having received very kind promises of support, I am induced to offer myself as a Candidate for the honour of being one of your Representatives for the Town of Christchurch in the Provincial Council, and, should that honour be conferred upon me, I earnestly trust that my constant exertions for the benefit of our town and of the province generally, will give you no cause to regret your placing in me that confidence which I now seek at your hands. Without at present entering into any details I would wish to state that I think it most desirable that the Legislative Assembly should confer on the Provincil Councils, powers as large as possible (consistent with the provisions of the New Zealand Constitution Act) ; and especially, the regulations as to Waste Lands in, and more ample powers of appropriating the Revenue of, each Province, I should wish to have placed under the jurisdiction of its own Council. I remain, Gentlemen, Your obedient servant, J. C. Pokier. Christchurch, July 6. To the Electors of the Town of., Christchurch.
