MOCK ELECTION AT RAGLAN.
TO THE EDITOR. Sir,—l notice an attempt has been made to attach importance to the mock election at the Raglan Mutual Improvement Society. Ye Gods and Little Fishes. Anyone not being in the know would believe that an overwhelming number of electors rolled up. Here are the bald facta. Nine persons voted for the Opposition candidate, Mr Schnuckenberg, and aeventeen for the Seddonite, Mr Bankart. It is Decessary to explain that he brought his majority from Te Mata. Fact. Of course I do not attribute trickery to those who have accidentally attempted to decieve the public. Oh, no. My prophetic soul or gizzard is trying to get me to believe that Mr Lang will poll three votes to the Doctor's one at the Raglan booth. V.ou can bet your " bilerl rag" on it Mr, an' no mistake about, it.—l am, etc, Taihoa.
