TO THE ELECTORS of WAIHAEAPi. ' SOUTH. " (jENTLEiJPp As a working s»ttler of twwty years, standing, I respectfully offer myself a a candidate to represent you in the new Parliament, Without wishing to raise any elans erf, I may state that in my opinion the time hu arrived when all elasioa of Kttlirs should be represented. Hitherto the small holden of property have not hvd their share of re« presentation. In my long fttjd iqtfpjato acquaintance with tlie working of thp under which we live, jji has caused me oftai 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 ehange is necessary. The large holders already have their representative, and wo are ontitled 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 thn administration of our fjnjjnces, I (jhpU be pjcpjp} tg Qjg Hall admjnistration an independent reserving to myself the right to vote (or whatever I consider to bo for the benefit of the peoDle and the advaneemont of the colony generally. With extended powcis, I believe the County Coimcijs, in conjunction with oar Highway Boards, arc capablo of much good work, being firmly of opinion tljat | Couucij qqnippisod of otjr must necessarily be better acquainted witlj our requirements and the management ef local affairs than a Government officii located at Wellington. The generous amount of to me wherever 1 have made my views known has encouraged me to ask for the honor of representing you. I own ty no personal feeling in the eontest, but simply an honorable ambition to serve my fel|ow ; settlers. I hope to meet ygu at Jlje various tftWQjj throughout South Wairarapa, and will the# more fully explain my political creed, Yours faithfully, BURTON BOTS, Taratihi, September 28,1581,
