Tlie Government, which si-tnt some thousands, of pounds ni ?u abortive electoral caucus, apparently cannot afford to hire halls for polling-pla.ce>s for tilie coming- election, and tlie clause in the Legislature Act which permits of school4hous(»s< being appropriated for the purpose, is being freely availed of. The protest which is being made by tlie Chairman of the Wanganui Education Board is well-merited,.
