I'O THE ELECTORS of WAIHABAPA SOUTH. (jIiNTLEMEN,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 raise any class erf, I may state that in my opinion the time has arrived when all classes of settlers should lie represented. Hitherto the small holders of property have not h id their share of representation. In mv long and intimate •icquaintauce with the working of the laws under which we live, it has caused me often to feci that Mich a state of things ought not to exist. It is really 110 list our burking this question; all feel that a change iB necessary. The largo holders already have their representative, and wo arc entitled to ours. Although not altogether in favnr of many actions of the 'present Government, yet believing as I do that unflinching economy is still necessary in tlw administration of our finances, I shall I Hall Rdn| reserving whatever! the peoj colony gl With extended poiveui, I heliove the County Councils, in conjunction with Highway Boards, arc' capable of much good work, being firmly of opinion that a Council comprised of our fcllow-scttlers must necessarily be 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 mo wherever 1 havo made my views known has encouraged me to ask for the honor of representing you. I own to no personal feeling in the contest, but simply an honorable ambition to serve my fellowsottlers, I hope to meet you at the various towns throughout South Wairarapa, and will then more fully explain my political creed, Yours faithfully, BURTON BOYS,Taratulii, Sootember 28,1551,
