TO THE ELECTOBS OF THE DISTRICT OF THAMES. pENTLEMEN,— As I may be unable to com* - municate .personally with, each of yon, I take this opportunity of placing my political Tjewn plainly before you; so that. if after consideration yon believe I shall fairly represent your' interest! and conser?e your, rights, I may depend upon your Totes and influence on the day of election. I need hardly inform you that I hare always been a believer in Sir Geo. Grey and his policy, and will accord him a liberal support, bat I 'desire to go - to Parliament as your Representative perfectly untrammelled by any party cries, being, above all things, determined to uphold your interests. I am opposed to the Government as at - present constituted, but am not prepared to hand over the North Island to Southern Influence and control. *- In addition to having large personal .. interests in the Thames Goldfield, I believe I am qualified by lengthened experience to judge as to your real wants and- requirements, and will endeavour to advocate such measures as will mitigate the Miners' Sights and other grievances under which you now. suffer. I am in favour of a Land Tax for local purposes—especially affecting unimproved land. I am against Insular Separation, beMieving New Zealand united to be better and stronger than a divided colony. I am in favour of free, and equal educational advantages being within the reach of every child, but would advocate economy in administering them without impairing their real efficiency. The Thames-Te Aroha Railway is an absolute necessity, and I will use my very best exertions towards securing its apeedy completion. I think the right to dig gum should be obtainable by anyone on payment of a small license fee, and I am against the leasing of large blocks of land for these purposes, as it tends to create monopoly, enriching a few at the expense of the ' many. I am in favour of encouraging local industries' and manufactories 'of every possible kind, and shall give my best attention to those suitable to this district. In conclusion, I may remark that as my property and interests are here, your welfare and my- own are identical. I snail take an early opportunity of addressing you at.publio meetings, and 1 .giving at length a fall explanation of my views, and answering in a straightforward Tray any questions that may be put to me.
