POLITICAL. Mr. J. Driver, t date for the Patea electorate, opened his campaign at Haivera on Thursday night. His address only lasted about twenty minutes ami was extremely disappointing. The HawiTu Star, commenting on Jlr. Drivel's debut, writes: ' Tinaddress, he said, was of a preliminary character, and he appeared mainly t'j show himself and make acquaintances. Detailed criticism U therefore perhaps premature, but a great deal depends upon first appearand';, and we are justified in saying that the majority of those present were extremely disappoint? 1. Mr. Driver showed himself to lie most pleasant and courteous, all that could lie desired as to manner, but the matt -t of his address left much to he desired. Even on a first appearance a candidate may reasonably be expected to give some evidence of the study of the uinin political questions of the day, of the strength of his convictions, and of his aptitude for public life, and we are bound in candour to say that Mr. Driver gave no evidence of the kind. Wt are sorry he did not make a better impression, but the fact is too patent to be ignored, and it is difficult to accept his candidature seriously.
