TO THE ELECTORS of WAIRARAPA SOUTH.
' IENTLEMEN,As a working settler of twenty years, standing, I respectfully oilier myself as a candidate to represent you in the new Parliament. Without wishing to raiao auy class or?, I may state that iu my opinion the time has arrived when all classes of settlers should be represented. Hitherto tho small holders of property have not h ul their share of representation. In my long and intimate acquaintance with the working of tho laws under which we live, it has caused mo often to feel that such a stato of things ought not to exist. It is really no ust our burking this question; all feel tint a change is necessary. The large holders already have their representative, and we are entitled Although not altogether in favnr of many actions of the presens fiovernment, yet believing as I do that uiillincliiii" economy is still necessary in thn administration of our finances, I shall he prepared to give the Hall administration an independent support, reserving to myself the right to vote for whatever I consider to he for tho benefit ol the peoolo and the advancement of the colony generally. With extended powois, I believe the County Councils, in conjunction with our Highway Boards, are capable of much good work, being fiunly of opinion that a Council comprised of our fellow-settlers must necessarily he better acquainted with our requirements and the management of local affairs than a Government official located at Wellington, The generous amount of support promised to me wherever 1 havo made my views known has encouraged mo to nsk for tho honor of representing you. I own to no personal feeling in tho contest, but simply an honorable ambition to serve my fellowsettlers, I hopo to meet you at the various towns throughout South Wairarapa, and will then more fully explain my political creed, Yours faithfully, BURTON BOYS.
