Electoral should be given to men to acquire freeholds is a subject upon which all are agreed, and assuming that purchasers might expect more liberal terms from the Government tban from private holders, it is wise that the Government should be the purchaser from the natives in the first place. Such being the case, the object of the 'administration in my opinion should be the speedy acquisition of all the waste lauds of the Colony, and, being acquired, surveyed, and cut up, the l«nd should be thrown open upon favorable terms to men willing to occupy, and in time to purchase under a system of deferred payments. The revenue derived from the sale of such lands would reimburse tho Government for the first cost, and besides might furnish the means of opening up the country by roads, and probably defray to some extent the cost of the branch lines of railways, which will require construction after the main or trunk lines are formed from the loans raised for that purpose upon the credit of the whole colony. It ia scarcely necessary for me to refer to the question of Education, as for yeara I have been an advocate of the present secular, free, and compulsory system, and if elected will strongly resist any attempt to alter an Act which bag been found to place within the reach of every child in the colony the means of getting a good liberal education, and which has since its introduction bestowed such blessings upon the youth of New Zealand. The claims of this electorate to a fail proportion of public works, the early completion of the Thames and Waikatc Railway, the construction of a line to the East Coast, the acquisition of the freehold of the, goldfield, the claims of the local governing bodies to continued monetary assistance from the Government, tht amendment of the County and Municipal Corporations Act, the throwing open oi the Upper Thames lands for selection the question of aiding our. timber and other industries, and a number of. othei matters, all bearing upon the best interests of this electorate, are objects that woulc receive my attention should I have the honor to be returned as your represen tative. I shall, at an early date, address you ai the various centres of population, and al greater length make known my opinion! upon such subjects as are of interest t( this constituency. WM, McCULLOUGH".
