I am, gentlemen. Yours truly, A. W. BENALL. TO THE ELECTOES of WAIKAEAPA SOUTH, (jETOIM As a working settler of twenty yoars, standing, I respeotfully of/or myself as a candidate to represent you in the new Parliament. Without wishing to raise any class or/, I may state that in my opinion the time has arrived when all classes of settlers should be represented. Hitherto the small holders of property have not lad their share of representation, In my long and intiroato acquaintance with the wqrking'of tl(olawg uuder which wc llvo, it has caused me often to feel tliat such a state or things ought not to exist. It is really no ust our burking this question j all feel that a 'change is necessary. The largo holders already have thoir representative, and we arc entitled to ours. Although not altogether in favor of many aotions of {lie pre'seut Government, ye] believing as I do Hiat unflinching economy is still uccessary in tlw administration of our finances, I shall be prepared to give the Hall administration an independent support reserving to myself the right to vote for' whatever I consider fo be for the benefit of the people and the advancement of the colony generally. With oxfended ppweis, I Lejieye the County Councils, ia conduction with our Highway Boards, are capable of much good work, being firmly of opinion that a Council comprised of our fellow-settlers must necessarily tie fatter acquainted flitb, our retirements and the managomonj; ej local affairs than a Government official located at Wellington, The generous amount of supportjromised to me wherever l have 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 siinply an honorable ambition to servo 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, BUfiTON BOYS.
