10 THE kUKJTOBS ofAVAIBARAPA. riKMTLEMENTHE present Parliament has, for all practical purposes. cen»ctl to exist.. I thank you sincerely (or the confidence you have hitherto reposed in me by twice electing me one of your representatives. The Representation Act provides for the division of the Wairarapa electorate into two districts, viz., Wnirarapa North and Wnirarapa S«nth. It ia my intention to rnV myself as a candidate for the nnri! em division. I .therefore avail myself of the pr: sunt opportunity to assure the eleotois that, ,f eleeled, I shall ever consider it to be a pleasing duty to promote tho interests of both electorates with which I linve leg been so intimately connected, Again thanking you for the evidences of kindness and confidence which I have always received at your hands, I remain, Gentlemen, Tours faithfully, GEOBQE BEETHAM. 885 TO THE ELECTORS of WAIRARAPA NORTH. /IENTLEMEN,I have the honor to inform you that it is my intention to offer myself as a candidate for the representation of your district at the approaching general election, I shall ask you to moet me at the various centres ol the Electorate, in order to afford me opportunities for explaining fully my views on political questions of the day. I will not now attempt to do more than ask you to believe-if you think me worthy of a continuance ot your confidence—that I shall always endeavor, to tho utmost of my ability, to assist in the material development of New Zealand generally, and especially that of Wairarapa, one of the most promising country districts of the Colony,
I remain. Yours faithfully GEORUE BEETHAM. TO THE ELECTORS of WAIRARAPA SOUTH. n ENTLEMEN,Aa a working settler of twenty years, standing, I respectfully offer myself as a candidate to represent you in the new Parliament. Without wishing to raiae any class cr/, I may state that in my opinion the time has arrived when all classes of settlers should be represented. Hitherto the small holders of property have not lud their share of representation, In my long and intimate acquaintance with the working of thu laws under which we live, it has caused me often to feel that such a state of things ought not to exist, It is really no ust our burking this question; all fcol that a change is necessary, The large holders already have their representative, and we are entitled to ours, Although not altogether in favw of many actions of the present Government, yet believing as I do that unflinching economy is still necessary in thu administration of our finances, I shall be prepared to give the Hall administration an independent support, reserving to myself the right to vote for whatever I consider to be for the benefit of the peoole and tho advancement of the colony generally. With extended poweis, I believe the County Councils, in conjunction with our Highway Boards, are capable of much good work, being firmly of opinion that a Council comprised of our fellow-settlers must necessarily be better acquainted with our requirements and tbo management of local affairs than a Government official located at Wellington.
rlie generous amount of supportjpromised to me wherever 1 have made my views known has encouraged me to ask for the honor of representing you. I own to no personal feeliug iu the contest, but simply an honorable ambition to serve my fellowsettlers, I hope to meet you at ihe various towns throughout South Wairarapa, and will vhen more fully explain my political creed, Yourß faithfully, .
