THE WANGANUI SEAT.

To the Editor

Sir'j-^Knowin,* your readiness to have a smack at* rthe icrtiher fellow,' I was jratlherV.sSirprieed at your Jetting Mr A. Stoachari off so ligbJfeiy in your footnote ■of itfhia mioxming. If Mr Straahan has' '«uch a very high lopiniioiil of the oapaibiliities of his friend, vMr Haselden, it a pity (that h6;,did net get him to «omtesib the eleotdion in thj©.eleotorate in; which he resides, as I hav"6*j^fc to learn -that Mr Haselden was invited to contest the Wangaaui electorate by any large section of the community. ]Mr Stoadhaan may rest 'assured that the electors of tdiis district are quite cap--«ible of .selecting Sfcubeir own member without any advice from him or any other -outsider, and, fuirither, are more likely *o choose a man who has ia stake in i&e country, amd 'has stuck by it, than -they are to choose a man who was prepared to shake the dust of this colony ifrom his feet when, he went to South .Africa, amd mot finding things quite to this liking thought he would give New •JZeailaind another turn. This ds not the 'Mud of man we •■want to" represent us in Parliament. —I 'am, etc., ELECTOR. October 27, 1905.
