TO THE ELECTORS OF MANAWATIT. ADIES AND GENTLEMEN.— for tliis important Electorate, as a supporter of the Ward Government, atdhe forthcoming November election and in soliciting your suffrages on that occasion, I do so labouring under one disadvantage. Unlike one of my competitors I have not previously been a member of the House of Representatives, and if you do me the honour' to accept my services you have to take me to a certain extent on trust. But, Ladies and Gentlemen, to everything there must bo a beginning. The vacancies left by death and resignation could not in the long run be filled up, if the newcomers were for ever refused a hearing and a trial. What, therefore, I 1 iave to seek to convince you of, I since I have no past Parliamentary services to plead, is that among newcomers I need not be ranked as unworthy of your trust and confidence. I wish to impress on the electors In announcing my candidature

that I support the Government policy, and that I approve of their general administration. From my past addresses, which have been circulated throughout the electorate, and from fresh speeches to be made during the present campaign, it will bo 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 Dominion requires the indisputable energy and progressive enterprise, combined with prudence, which the Liberal Administration has displayed for 17 years My qualifications fur the position ot your representative, apart from the right of every elector to offer himself as a candidate for your suffrages, are, I venture to hope, sufficient. For many years I have occupied responsible positions in the New Zealand Civil Service, ending with the appointment of Government Life Insurance Commisioner, and I have since held high business appointments in London and New York. I have, as many of you are aware, studied political science theoretically and practically —in a number of different countries. 1 have also had the honour of serving you in local matters and in municipal politics —I trust I may assume satisfactorily, judging from the positions I have attained at successive pollings. This experience, it cannot be disputed, must fit its subject for dealing in a spirit of forethought with legislative and administrative measures calculated to promote the benefit of the Manavvatu electorate (in which are my heart and my interests) and of the_ Dominion as a whole. —I have the honour to be, Ladies and Gentlemen, Your obedient servant, P. W. FRANKLAND.

TO THE ELECTORS OF THE MANAWATU. AND GENTLEMEN— Believing that my past services as your representative in Parliament have been reasonably acceptable, I therefore announce myself as a candidate for the Manawatu seat at the ensuing general election, and respectfully solicit a renewal of your confidence at (he poll. Yours faithfully, JOHN STEVENS. TO THE ELECTORS MANAWATU ELECTOEATE.
