Yours truly, AiW.BENALTj. TO THE.ELEOTOES of WAIBABAPA 80DTH. VjJSNIHMINrt, As a working settler of twenty years, standing, I roßpeotfnlly offer myself as a candidate to represent you | a the iew Parliament. Without wishing to raise any elaas orf, I may state that in my opinion tho time has arrived when all elatios of settlers should bo represented. Hitherto the small holder* of proporty have not hid their share of r«. presentation. In my leng' and, intimate acquaintance with the working of tho laws under which we live, it has caused ma ofteD to exist. It is really no ust onr burking this question j all fool that a chaßga is necessary. The largo holders already haw their representative, and we are entitled to ours. Although not altogether in favor of many actions of the present Government, yet believing as I do that unflinching econprny is sti)l necepar- y in th.<i administration # 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 to bo for tho benefit of the peODle and tho advancement of the colony generally. With eitended poweis, I believe the County Couneils, in conjuuotion with onj Highway Boards, are capable good work, being firmly of opinion'that!'* Council comprised of our fellow-settlerg must necessarily be better acquainted with • our requirements and tho management of local affairs than a Government official located at Wellington. The generous amount of to me wherever 1 have mad? 'njy viewa. known has encouraged me to ask for thp honor of representing you. I own to no personal feeling in the contest, but simply an honorable ambition to, ajrye my fellow? settlers, ' ! I hope to meet you at the various towns throughout South WairarapS, and will then, more fully explain my political creed, ', Youra faithfully, ' ' ' ' ! BOYS, v Taratahi; September 28,1881,. ! !
