TO THE ELECTORS of WAIRARAPA, pENTLEMENTHE present .Parliament lias, fur. nil practical purposes, cea»ed to uxi-t. I thank you sincerely for the confidence you have hitherto reposed in mo by twice electing me one of your representatives, . , The Representation Act provides for the division of the Wairarapa electorate into two districts, viz., Wairarapa North and Wairarapa South. It is my intention to oiler myself as a candidate for the northern division. I thcrelore avail myself of the present opportunity to assure tho electors that, ;i elected, I shall ever consider it to be >:■ pleasing duty to promote the interests c. both electorates with which I have lo>\ been so iutimately connected. Again thanking yoo for the evidences c '. kindness and confidence which I kav always received at your hands, I remain, Gentlemen, Yours faithfully, GEOKGE 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 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 thau ask you to believe—if you think mo worthy of a continuance ot your confidence—that 1 shall always endeavor, to the utmost of my ability, to assist in the material development of New Zealand generally, and especially that of Wairarapa, one of tho most promising country districts of tho Colony. I remain, Yours faithfully fiKORUE BEETHAM. TO THE ELECTORS of WAIRARAPA SOUTH. /IENTLEMEN,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 I may state that in my opinion the time has arrived when all classes of settlers should be represented. Hitherto 1110 small holders of property have not h\d their share of representation. In my long and intimate acquaintance with the working of the 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 nst our burking this question; all feel that a change is necessary. The large holders already have their representative, and we are entitled to ours.
Although not altogether in favor of many actions of tho prtsea' Government, j'et believing as I th that unflinching economy is still necessary in the administration of our finances, I slin.ll be prepared to give the Hall administration an independent support, reserving to myself the right to vote for whatever I consider tn be for the benefit of the pcoDlo and the advancement of '.lie colony generally. With extended poweis, I believe the County Councils, in conjunction with our Highway Hoards, are capable of much good work, being riimly of opinion that a Council comprised of our fellow-settlers must necessarily be better acquainted with our requirements nnd the management of local affairs than a Government official located at Wellington. The generous amount of support promised to me wherovcr 1 havo made my views known has encouraged me to aßk for the honor of representing you. I own to no personal feeling iti tho ooutost, but 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, HUUTON BOYS.
