Mr W. F. Hewlett of PaJiiatua suggests that evory elector should put tho following questions to every candidate, 1; Are

you a needy man of doubtful antecedents?! Do you drink ? Do you habitually associate'-' with men of no standing, or witlj men of honour? 2. Have you any money? By this 1 mean, do you, canyon, live within your income ? 3. Do you know any tiling? Are you willing to study tho history an J laws of New Zealand, England, and the world ■generally? Why do .you .want to get into the Houao? Have youaii axe to' grind, if bo, toll us all about it.

Tho Standard,' writing ou tho. South ft'aitarapa olection, forcibly remarks : " Wo certainly consider Mr Buchanan to be, in a political sense, the immeasurable suporiorof Mr Bunny. Wo point to their respective political records asdomon* strating this assertion, and those (and this 1 does not include tho Obmsm) who know

both goiitlomen in Parliament know also that Mr Buchanan is Mr Bunny'BSuporior in all those qualities which go to make a good representative," But, nevertheless, we do not abuse Mr Buuny; we choerf ully acknowlodgo his services in. the past, while even his most ardent supporters must as freoly allow Mr Bunny has been, and is now, most handsomely paid by th£. country for such services. Wo prefer Mr Buchanan because ho is a younger, more' enorgotic and raoro practical man than Mr Bunny ; because tho true arid universal interests of ; thia district, in wliich he has a large stake, are necessarily identical with his own. We v prefor Mr Buchanan bocausc lioiiaa ovor served;'ilio constituency fuilhfully and well—though not perhaps, with tliat sho'wj "decision of tone' the Obseiwrs lovoap much. We prefer Mr Buchanan feuso he is, so to speak, in Parliamentary, practico, while Mr Bunny is not.
