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-Bettlers must necessarily be better acquainted with our requirements *nd the management of local affairs than a Government official located at Wellington. The generous amount of support promised to nie wherever 1 have made my views known has encouraged me to ask for the honor of representing you. I own to no persinal feeliug in the contest, hut simply an honorable ambition to serve my fellowsettlers.
