I am, gentlemen, Yours truly, A.W.BENALL. TO THE ELECTORS of WAIRARAPA SOUTH. Gentlemen,As a working settler of twenty years, standing, I respectfully offer myself aa a candidate to represent you in the new Parliament. Without wishing to raise any elass erf, I may state that in my opinion the timo has arrived when all dam of settlers should be represented. Hitherto the small holders of property liavo not hid their share of representation. In my leng and intimate acquaintance with the working of the laws under which wo live, it has oaußed mo often to fed that snch a state of tilings ought not to exist. It is really no usi our burking this question; all feel that. a change is necessary. The large holders already bavo their representative, and wo aro entitled to ourß. Although not altogether in favor of many actions of tho present Government, yet believing as I do that unflinching eeonomy is still necessary in tlrn administration of our financos, I shall bo prepared to givo the Hall administration an independent support reserving to rnyßolf the right to voto for whatever I consider to btf Jot the benefit of the peonlo and tho advancement of the colony generally. With extended poweis, I bcliove County Couneils, in conjuuotion without Highway Boards, aro capable of good work, being firmly of opinion that »' Council comprised of our fellow-settlers must necessarily be better acquainted with our requirements and the management of looal affairs than a Government official located at Wellington, The generous amount of supportpremised to me wherever 1 have made my-views known has encouraged me to ask for the honor of representing yon, I own to no personal feeling in the ooutest, but simply an honorable ambition to serve my follow* settlers, . 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. ' Taratahi; September 28, 1881;
