T.ADIES and GENTLEMEN*,—As I have completed a tour of the Electorate, and placed my views before you from the public platform, I now submit the following'points for your consideration! before you go to the Ballot on THURSDAY, December 10: — 1, That I bad spadework to do in connection with the settlement of the King Country, which included the hinterlands of Taranaki, Auckland, and Wellington, .from 1902 to 1911 and practically all the hard work in assisting settlers and residents to get roads, bridges, schools, and post and telephonic conveniences was done during the nine years of your confidence in me by electing me as M.P. for Eglnoirt -and Taumarmrai for three t successive Parliaments. 1 2. That my principles on political questions are known to you, and have ' been found sound. 2. Personally, after mv nine years' experience of Land Settlement, I would not open another acre of bush and swamp land until the roads are formed and metalled; if these lands are opened without this being done, I will favor the settlers having it rent free for three years, as formerly the case . under the Bush and Swamp Act. 4. I am, and was in 1908 as your rcpresentative, in favor of the construction of light lines of railways and the maintenance of arterial roads by the General Government. 5. I am in favor of the workers of both . sexes being, given the fullest honorable consideration so far as hours, wages, and conveniences are concerned. 6. I will support proposals for a uniform school book for the children of New Zealand, to be supplied free to scholars, so that the sons or daughters, the brainy children of struggling parents, get released from the charges now im- "• posed in various ways when they r get to primary and high schools; that a Dominion rate of payment to teachers be brought into opera- ' tion; and that back-block school i teachers have an extension of the privilege to attend approved ' classes in towns, by widening the limit, now of 60 miles. 1. A public man is judged \by '" 5 ac *- 3 and intentions, and as a supporter of LIBERAL PROGRESSIVE 'measures, I am in favor of educating public opinion in a further way. The Reform party showed their intentions by opposing every progressive measure, such as advances to settlers, old-age pensions, •workers' compensation, etc., etc. I, therefore, confidently leave myself in your hands on the Polling Day, feeling assured that the pioneers and newer residents of this ?reat Electorate, brimful of notentialit-es. will again return jnc as their representative. Yours faithfully, W. T. JENNINGS. Te Kuiti, December 2, 1914. SEASON WM-15- ~ iT: ' - - HTJTURE EVENTS. TABLES'OP WINNERSBLoaamm sjdh» RULES OF RACING. WINNING SIRES.
