THE FARMERS' CANDIDATE.
TO THE EDITOR. Sir,— l am glad to say that there i& a Aery geneial feeling here among the settlers that we should elect for our representative one of our own class, a fanner, one who will sympathise with our difficulties, and endeavour to remove them. It is often tin-own in our teeth that Raglan is just the same place to-day as it was yesterday, and will be to-moirow, and this taunt will doubtless be thrown at us for many years, unless we make our voice felt in the As&embly. This we intend doing in the case of the present election. When Major Jackson was in office, in 1875, what did he do for Raglan ? Nothing. Mr Lake, however, is a man of a different &ort, "and the settlers here feel this, and will ghe him an alnmst unanimous support, as the poll here, at Aotea, at Waitetuna, and Te Mata will show. The Raglan vote is a large one, and will turn the scale either way, and, as you will see, Major Jackson will find this to his sorrow on Tuebday.— l am, &c, Raglan Farmer. Raglan, July 18th.
