A LOCAL POLITICAL CAPITAL.
The rustic quietude of the Miki Miki has been rudely broken of late by the rhetorical invasions of Parliamentary candidates. It is almust fortunate for the hapless settlement that there are only two candidates out for the Wairarapa and Masterton seat 3 respectively, as the political blasts and counterblasts would be still more frequent. The settlers at Miki Miki are being treated to more political orations than the centres of the electorates, this fact being accounted for through the alteration of the electorate boundaries dividing the district in two. Mr J. Hunter, in dpeaking at the Miki Miki Schoolhouse, on Thursday night, suggested to his audience that the district might be a political capital, judging from the political addresses it was having thrust upon it, a remark which "caught on" with thosepresent, and raised a few modest smiles.
