Our readers will find a report of a portion of Mr. C. B. Chapman's speech, delivered on Monday night, in another part of this issue. Mr. Chapman, who is a candidate for Dnnedin City at the forthcoming General Election, deals with our local requirement?, and shows that the province of Otago has been Badly neglected in the past in the distribution of public money.. Should he bo elected Mr. Chapman promises that he will use his best endeavours to secure a more equitable distribution of public money in the future. Mr. Chapman's views Dn this question are well worth the attention of the electors.— ***
