TO THE ELECTORS or WAIRARAPA. HENTLEIIENTHE present Purlinment lias, for all practical purposes, coi.iud to exist. I thank you sincerely (or the confidence you have hitherto reposed in me by twice electing me one of your representatives, I'ho representation Act provides for the division of the Wairarapa electorate into two districts, viz., Wairara;>a North and Wairarapa Smith. It is my intention to t'Jlur myself as a candidate for the wiriheni division. I therefore avail mjself of tlie pivsent opportunity to assure the electors that, if elected, I shall ever consider it to be a pleasing duty to promote the interests of both electorates with which I huve lo»g been so intimately connected. Again thanking you for the evidences of kiudness and confidence which I have always received at your hands, I remain, Gentlemen, Yours faithfully, GEORGE BEETHAM. 885 TO THE ELECTOES of WAIEARAPA NORTH. /1 ENTLEMEN,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 meet me at the various centres of 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 mo worthy of a continuance ot your confidenco-that I shall always endeavor, to the utmost of my ability, to assist in the material development of Mew Zealand generally, and especially that of Wairarapa, one of the most promising country districts of the Colony. I remain, Yourß faithfully GEORGE BEETHAM. TO THE ELECTOES of WAIRARAPA SOUTH. /1 ENTLEMEN,As a working settler of twenty years, standing, I respectfully offer myself as a candidate to represent you in the new Parliament. Without wishing to raise any class erf, I may state that in my opinion the time has arrived when all classos of settlers should be represented. Hitherto the small holders of property have not lnd their share of representation. In my long and intimate acquaintance with the working of thu laws unfar 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 feel that a change is necessary. The large holders already have their representative, and wo arc entitled Although not altogether in favor of many actions of the present Government, yet believing as I do that unflinching economy is still necessary in thn 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 peoule aud the advancement of the colony generally. With extended poweis, I believe the County Councils, in conduction with our Highway Boards, are capable of much good work, being firmly of opinion that a Council comprised of our fellow-settlers must neeessanlv be better acquainted with. our requirements find the management of local affairs than a Government official located at Wellington.
The generous amount of Bupporfrpromised to me wherever 1 have made my viewa known has encouraged me to ask for the honor of representing you. I own to no personal feeling in the coutost, hut simply an honorable ambition to serve my fellowsettlers, I hope to meet you at the various towns throughout South Wairarapa, and will then more fully explain my political creed, Yours faithfully, HUitTON BOYS, Taratahi, September 28,1881.
