THE TARANAKI SEAT.

Jilt. OKEI SECURES A Mil MAJORITY.

'lliere was little excitement in New Plymouth, or, shall we say, little visible excitement. The day was tine, indi there was nothing to prevent a largo poll. Kight from the hour of openh"' the booths, it was seen that there 1 would be a very big poll to count. | During the morning there was a steady

stream of voters to the mitral booth at the Theatre Koyal, but it was noti until after mid-day that business be- 1 eamo brisk at the suburban booths. Up to noon it was estimated that a little over a thousand electors had record *d their votes at the town and -suburban booths, and by two o'clock the number

was given as fifteen hundred. All day long motor cars, cabs, buggies and all sorts of conveyances whirled the voters to the poll, and the central booth was recording the votes of people who coufd with greater convenience have voted elsewhere. Doubtless they were actuated by the desire not only to secury a' cheap ride but also to see without too

great exertion what the town centre! looked like on election day. From three o'clock to about live o'clock there was an increase h the rate of arrivals, and the police had to regulate the admissions to the theatre to facilitate opcrations. The block occurred chielty at | the first table, where voters whose I names commenced with the letters I from "A" to *T« V ' had to receive th«*ir papers. There were about £IOO elect-

ors on the roll whose names corresponded with the Ato list, it would be advisable, perhaps, to again subdivide i the alphabet in making arrangements! for the central booth. It is suggested j also that the poll clerks and deputies' might be divided into two ranks, A to L on one side of the theatre and M to' Y on the other, with two sets -of polling places. this would relieve the congestion at the door and give the officials

a little more elbow room. Uy five o'clock the rush was ill an und, and tile work was easy till closing time. Til.; interest in the election of a member was overshadowed by the intense interest displayed in the. licensing question, and as a result of the untiring ell'orts of the organisers oil either .side practically every available vote was polled. The next, business was to await re-

turns. I he figures started to come in early, and from the outset Mr. Okey took lip a very strong position. By half-past 7 his supporters were becoming elated. At S o'clock the result had been removed from doubt. The results from the different polling-booths were thrown 011 to a screen at the Imperial Hotel corner, where a vrowd of over a thousand people gathered. It was a good-humored crowd, and there was no objectionable behaviour.

815 220 1715 1934 47U Majority for Mr Smith, 219. | At the previous election Mr Smith was returned by a majority of 314, the figures being Smith 241!), Ukey 2105. 1 TAKANAKI «Y-EI.,E(JXION, IUU7. 1

Will) only n <*on|»l p of -mail returns to come, and the result assured. 1 lie candidates appeared on the Imperial Hotel balcony, amidst an outburst of cheering. They were given an Fscllent reception. Mr, If, Okev addressed tlr crowd. ■

thank you," he said, "i'ur the huge ma-| jonty you have given me'to-day. i 1 inniK have shown clearly that )o,i have no eonliucnce in the second nauoi. (Hear, near). Any man, siiould be pleased with the majority that you gave

•me by your votes 10-aay. ti 1$ payment fur the labor 1 Have put in on your benail.' Jie stated tnat uun.ig the past two days tile people of lainnaki had done two gooa tilings, in carrying tile narbor loan aud electfng mm as member. (Hear, hear), it was not J his intention, he said, to speak lor long, I but he must tnmiK the workers for what they had done lor him and his opponents for the way in which the

election had oeen carried on. (Hear, hear), lie did not think that any election could have been conducted in a better spirit. Those who had not voted for him had showed by their conduct that they would just as soon have

voted for him as against. Ilia opponents had treated liim splendidly, ami no man could wish to have better men opposed to him. -Mr. Okey then bespoke a patient hearing for the , succeeding speakers, who, they must all admit, had fought tins light like men. 11c referred to the prospects of the district, saying that these had never be-m better than at present, and he could .sec nothing to keep the district back. He trusted that that prosperity would be shared by ail, and concluded bv again returning thanks for the voi£ recorded that day.

Mr. Malone was received willi lio.s--terous good humor, In a toice that put nil the others into cmiijuiiittiv« nisignlicance he'stated that ulthougii Ins throat was nunc too good, still ho thought that as "an olu salt" ho could niako tliem Hcai'. lie wanted to thank all those who had voted for him, and also those who had not. He had put up as good a tight as was in him. lie lia.i set out against circumstances which to many men would have spelt Ue-v.'.i, from the outset. But tie had not been discouraged by the fact that defeat loomed ahead. There was nothing like a good "go''; he had had it at the live-election, he had had a bettor "go' this time; and he would have a still better "go" the third time. (Applause), tie, and all lus supporters and work.vs.

could lake a lic-Kijig as well as anyone. They wore not downcast. (A voice: Arc we downhearted? No!) He was not downhearted, lie' had been m the unfortunate position of being the odd man, and ,as it were, everybody's hand was against him. Hut everybody's vote had not been against him, and lie thought it would bring home to the Government that they had better leave the electors alone. From what he had heard, if they had not interfered, t:ie iosue would have been rather different but he would not say they would been successful. He wished to tluik his sympathisers who had voted for tie leading man, and also those of his sympathisers who had voted for the man who came behind liim. He appreciated their loyalty in sticking tu the m*n that they had voted for through the past nine years. They were quite right. The man they bad elected had not done badly for the people. The other candidates had not been able to withstand Mr Okey when he turaed on hia bonod beef, thistle chaff, and, above all, the dairy regulations. (Hr. Okey: And cow-tax). In the next three years he would do his little bit to help the sitting member in anything to help tn district, and, if ho wore alive in three years' time, he would "have another go at him.'' There had been no animosity between the candidates, although they might sometimes have felt what the boys called "narked" at some of the political statements made. But all things were fair in love, war and polities. In again thanking his supporters, Air. Malone said he felt sure that he had made nothing but friends during the campaign.

Mr. Hellringer, who was also cordially received, said he desired to thank all those who had supported him that day. He recogiiisod that this had been 'a keen tight. Tile Hectors had shown their continued confidence in .Mr. Okcv as their member, and lie accepted loyally the verdict of the people. Mr. Okey had achieved a success of which any man might be proud, and he was sure that he would fully merit the confidence reposed in him. .Mr. Okey had fou»lit a good light, and he (Mr. Bellringer) had done his hest; and would take iiR defeat like a man. Many things had conspired to-defeat him, imt this was not the time to refer to that. In -v----turning Mr. Okev he was sure the electors had returned a man who would do them credit. He again expressed his gratitude to workers in his behalf, anil concluded bv calling for three cheers for ".Mr. Okey," M.IV

The cheers were lustily given, and then Mr. White stepped forward 011 behalf of the Licensed Victuallers' Association to thank the. electors for voting again for the contiminace of the li<|u»r tratlic. He claimed that fie alone, without a single assistant, hail combat ted Ihe paid agents of the other side. ,nd the result was that tin- paiil agents bad '-been sent away with a Ilea in Hie lug.'' He was glad that the poll had resulted so th;it New Plymouth could go 011 and prosper. (The crowd began to express itself pretty -4roiigft-;ipfn«t any further speeches). Mr. White again retinae,l thanks, and retired.

During the early hours of voting several electors, when snugly ensconced in (he privacy of the voting-booths, found themselves face to lace with a (piestion of the restoration of licenses. Hy some mischance the no-license areas' especial nrand of voting paper in regard to the licensing <|Ucstion had got mixed with the "wet electoral papers. 'I hey were used in the ordinary way, but afterwards it dawned upo n tiic voters thai those papers would probably be counted amongst the informal votes. Several returned fo the booth, and were given fresh papers. Others (lid not bother.
