aln o-d one ol tin- lirsl important iiuvisiuruts by the tJovcrmiicnt was .that conferring the franchise on adult womanhood achievement tln.r was a* Objeet lesson to the .world. It is the sano coinuioiisensfe of I hi' women that is now a most valuable qualitj in politics. The jear of Mr Scddon's assumption of the Premiership should ever lie remembered li.v Ihe women of the colony as the year of their emnncipnlion, and year by year since then some lienelicent Act has been passed having for its object the elevation ol woman, the comfort of her home ami the enlargement of her pewers. Womc n's sense of gratitude is proverbial, and they may safely be relied on lo continue their npprecial ive i-.--ciigiiition of the merits of the Seddon iiovernmeni. 'lt ihefar rs ami thos., depeiideiii on agriculture or dairying I'm- aj living have any doubts as |o Ibe hi-n-lits lhe\ have recviv, d under the Liberals. they .should dance at the value of exJliorls, and they will lind that since ■lWtil the exports of agricultural prnI duels have risen from' one million to ten millions sterling in value. Industrial workers may well note that I since the passing- of'the ('oiifilial ion and Arbitration Act in 1H»." the industries of live colony have ■thriven splendidly, while the condition of the workers has been vastly improved, and will be still further augiue.ntert by the provision of dwellings, which will „J one i 4 "t|he greia.te.st boons In the wage-earners. Such beneficial measures should appeal with telling force to even worker and equally so to every i rmployer. Hairy farmers haw especial cause to be grateful to the iJowi-niiieM. (or it is owing to ;he ihoTough w»y in which the industry has been | fostered ami encouraged by scientific and expert instruction, aid in cool storage, and in other ways, that they are now reaping a handsome! reward for their arduous labours. ' The largeness ol heart and breadth of humanity displayed by the f.ovenimeiit is evidenced by such measures as the Mining Acts, the Shipping ami Seamen's Act. the Workers' Compensation for Accidents Act. Advances (o Settlers Act. the Truck Act. the Payment 'of llnvs ami Cirls Act. the Destitute rersvje. Act. the fad ories Act. and the crowning glory of their legislation, the Old Age Pensions Act. In addition to these mny be mentioned Ihe Kducation Acts, and a long list of other legislative enactments, all ~f which alTord ample testimony 10 the wise policy of the (low-ru-uii.nl. redounding to the credit of the colony as well as ministering lo Lb.' material welfare of the people. So great is Ihe popularity of the Covrrniueut that there is a perfeel rush •if candidates who are running under Liberal colours.-.but there should On qo clilliciilty in separating the ''al.se in in the line. Only one lest is re .piisite—that of loyalty to the party. It is the 'Lil/cral , Party that has raised the colony to its pri-sent proud ami enviable position. :l nd although Independents.
