TO THE ELECTOES of WAIBABAPA SOUTH. (iffITLEMEN,a candidate to represent you in the new Parliament. Without wishing to raise any class err, I may state that in my opinion the time has arrived when all Glasses of settlers should be represented. Hitherto the small holders of property have not hid their share of representation. In my long and intimate acquaintance with the working of tho law under which wo live, it has caused me oftea to feel that finch a state of things ought lot to exist, It is really no nst our burking this question ;'• all feel that a ehange it nceesßary, The large holders already hare their representative, and we are entitled to ours, Although not altogether in favor of many actions of the present Government, yet believing %t I do that unflinching economy is still necessary in th* administration of I onr finances, I Bhall be prepared to give the Hall administration an independent support reserving to myself the right to vote for whatever I consider to be for the benefit of the people and the advancement of" th« colony generally. With extended poweis, I believe the County Councils, ia oonjuuotion with en*. Highway Boards, are capable of xaueh good work, being firmly of opinion that % Council comprised of our fcllow-Bcttleri must necessarily be better acquainted with our requirement* and the management et local affairs than a Government official looated at Wellington. The generous amount of supportjpromised 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 contest, but simply an honorable ambition to servo my fellow? I hope to meet you at the various towns throughout South Wair&rapa, and will then more fully explain my political creed, lours faithfully, BURTON BOYS. Taratahi, September 28,1881.
