Electoral THAMES ELECTION. ' TO THE ELECTOBS OF THE DISTBICr OF THAMES. CX ENTLEMEN,^- | ix As I may he unahle to commaoicate personally with each, of you, I take this opportunity of placing my political Tiews plainly before you; bo that, | if after consideration you believe I shall I fairly represent your interests and con- I serve your rights, I may depend upon J your votes and influence on the day of election. | I need hardly inform you that I have I always been a believer in Sir Geo. I Grey and bis policy, and will accord ' him a liberal support, but 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 prevent constituted, but am not prepared to hand over the North Island to Southern influence and control. ' In addition to hating 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' Bights Bnd other grievances under wbicb'you now suffer. I am in favour of a Land Tax for local purposes—-especially affe cling nnimprov ed land. . ' I am against Inrafar Separation, believing New Zealand united to be bettor 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. Tbe ThamesvTe Aroha Railway is an absolute necessity, and I will use my very best exertions towards securing its speedy completion. I thick the right to dig gum should be obtainable by ariyone 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 shall take an earjy opportunity of addressing you at public meetings, and giving at length a full explanation of my views, and answering in a straightforward way any questions that may be put to met I have the honour to remaia, - Gentlemen, Yours truly, W. FBABER.
