Public Notices. WHO IS TO BE OUR REPRESENTATIVE? NOT (iIBSON ! He would tax labor. He advocates a lax on improvements on your sections. He would tax the labor you expend in digging your garden. He would tax your wife’s new dress and your old breeches. Being largely interested in public houses and their trade, he wants (?) local option. He wants the option of refusing licenses to new houses, because if they were granted he and his intimate connections would suffer. He was a Liberal and supported a Liberal till caught by the “ Timaru Herald ” and persuaded to turn his coat, and he now suffers for his “ friends.” He has no respect for either Old or New Testament, and till “ converted ” by the “ Herald ” expressed himself a disbeliever in cither. In the face of these facts can we trust him, or is he merely a shallow humbug ? NOT PARTRIDGE ! Ho can only talk, and no where at that. He has no show, being but a bad representative of a trade society. This damns his chance. Who arc the working men ? Every Liberal elector in Timaru. Do all the working men belong to this Society ? Or is it only a very narrow section of the working men of the Borough, who wish their interests advanced at the expense of the rest of the community ? The latter decidedly. Is it true that the wire pullers of the Society are working in the Conservative interests ? It looks like it. TURNBULL is OUR MAN. He worked well in the old Provincial Council. He has worked well for us in Parliament. lie has many friends there, and some influence. lie will represent fairly the people of Timaru, And do his duty to the country. The Conservatives do not like him. Why ? Because he speaks out and is not to bo humbugged. Who deceived us over the Harbor Board Endowment ? Johnny Hall worked the oracle and did the “ fraud.” Is it dignified or proper for the Premier to canvass for his political sup* porters ? Most certainly not. But Hall does. A Minister of the Crown who does such a thing is unworthy of his trust. Why was Turnbull baited by the Conservatives on the Harbor Board ? An electioneering dodge worked by the “ Herald.” Turnbull we trust, and we will elect him. The result will be TURNBULL •• 550 GIBSON 200 PARTRIDGE .. .. 200
