ElectoralTO THE ELECTORS OF MANAWATU. Ladies and Gentlemen, —In announcing my candidature as an Independent Liberal for this „ important Electorate at the forthcoming November election, and in soliciting your suffrages on that occasion, I do so labouring under one disadvantage. Unlike some ot my opponents I have not previously been a member of the House ot Representatives, and it you do me the honour to accept mv services at the November election you have to take me to a certain extent on trust. But, Ljidics and, Gentlemen, to everything there must be a beginning. Thc vacancies left by death and resignation could never in the long run be filled up, if the newcomers were for ever refused a hearing and a trial. What, therefore, I have to seek to convince you of, since I have no past services to plead, is that among newcomers I need not be ranked as unworthy of 3 r onr trust and confidence. I wish to impress on the electors that I support the great bulk of the Government’s policy, but I reserve to nivself the right of voting independently of cause or party. In my coming address, which will take place shortly throughout the electorate, rt will be patent to you what are the several planks of my platform. I may here state that I fully recognise that the future government of this Colony requires indisputable energy and progressive, enterprise combined with prudence and economy. My qualifications for the position ot your representative, apart from the right of every elector to offer himself is a candidate for your suffrages, are, I venture to hope, sufficient. For many years I have occupied responsible positions in the New r Zealand Civil Service, ending with the appointment Qt Government Life Insurance Commissioner, and I have since held high business appointments m London and ,New York. This experience, it cannot be disputed, must fit its subject for dealing in a spirit of forethought with questions of legislative and administrative measures conductive to - the benefit of this Manawatu electorate and of the colony as a whole.—l have the honour to be, Ladies and Gentlemen, Your obedient servant, F. W. FRANKLAND.
