THE AJANAWATU SEAT. MR. MeMANAWIAY’S CANDIDATURE. Mr. McManaway, who will probably contest .the Manawatu seat as an Independent Reform candidate, visited Foxton on Thursday and was to have met those favourable to his candidature in the evening at the Town Hall supper-room, bat owing to the brief notice given, only two or three persons put in an appearance and the meeting was abandoned. In conversation with our representative, Mr. McManaway said in offering his services he had no axe to grind. He had the time at his disposal to give to the public and it would be a pleasure to serve them. It was his intention to guage the opinion of the constituency as to his candidature and if the same support was forthcoming in the southern portion of the electorate as was evinced in the north, he would go to the poll. Mr. McManaway visited Levin yesterday. AIR. P. J. SMALL’S CANDIDA- 8 ' TURE. Mr. P. J.
