We, again M urge upon those who are stiii unregistered the importance, of having, ( . their names ] placed on the Electoral Roll without delay. It is not all improbable that the election for Manawatu may take place in June, as an early dissolution is highly probable. Who will be the candidates it is at preseut impossible to say, but it will be clear tQ.all that it is. most, desirable that every person wso is .qualified should , have a voice in%he selection of th e repreaen t ati ve of the d is triot. "Wo again briefly set forth- the necessary qualifications of an elector. First, any man aged 21 or more, who owns a freehold property worth £25, £nd has pos sessed it foiTßix nt'onths/ or who has resided for a year, in the colony, and six months inithe electorate, is entitled to be registered, unless he is an alien or a convicted felon. Secondly, he l»ns only to procure from the Electoral Registrar (Mr Haultain, at the Rusi dent Magistrate's Court) an application form, fill it up, sign it, have hi** signature witnessed, and then send his application to the Registrar. Per,gpns -can' register vt any time of the year, excepting during the period between the "issue and return of the writ for an eleccion". No expense i« attached and but very JittlcLttnahle. And j>ei-haps Hecau.se4t is so, is ' the cause of there being so many unregistered persons. It is a duty that should not l>e postponed till the last moment. Let it be done at once. The general election cannot be very far off, aud it may: be very noar. -Let ail-who are qualified residents (and the nurnl*er of adults who are not must be \ery small indeed)- lie. in a position, when the dajjUrf election. aj'rives, to go to the poll and record their vote in .favour of ,th.e candidate, Av4iomthey ihink most eligible, ana most worthy of their confidence. At the •focthconung political contest every vote will be .yvanted^and every Lvote will tell.. To those who have neglected this most important and essential duty, we appeal to rectifjr their Qxnis.siqn without delay. We repeat theadvice, previouslj' given, but which at no time is niore nigniticant than just previous to a general election, and urge upon those to whom these remarks apjjy, to lay it to heart, and act upon it forthwith.
