SOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES 1 \ ELECTION. i \ — — . i MR. TIDWARD HHAW : Will Address the Electors as follows : BLACK'S POINT : Monday, April 16th BOATMAN'S : Tuesday April 17th. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES To the Electors of the Ihangahua Electoral Distbict. ri ENTLEMEN,— At the request 'of \JC v,ery many old friends among you I have now; to declare myself a candidate for your. vacant 4eat <-> kievr days will, 1 trust, bring us face to face, and it will be then my business fully to enunciate my. 'political 'views, and the line qf conduct which, as your representative; I ; wpnld propose to .adopt* Meanwhile^ the^foK lowing are brief indications of ray opinion on ,various. questions -intipaately affecting yourintepeßtson public works :*— I think no railway system for the South Island is complete without a connection .Une ana the .yyest Coast. In any case railway communication with Christchurch must be made as early as possible an accomplished fact. A considerable portion of the Four Million Loan ought to be permanently, allocated to the construction, of this lino, and the short Greymouth line - pushed. .on vigorously, up. the valley. A good coach road, well bridged and graded, between Reafton, Ahaura, and the Canterbury "Plains i»' urgently required, and ought to be completed within the next twelve nionths; so, ton, abroad from the Big Grey -to»" Ch^ttestpn. : ; The harbor works atfboth Greymouth and Westport should of course be steadily prosecuted, aH&.the suacess. 'that has attended the initialbry work at lioth places fully warrants the expenditure required in the future. As to education, the present Act has its minor defects, but on the broad question of secular education I am of opinion ; it ' adrtpi* the only logical and practical method of State interference in tjiatt^rs^i In finance I believe we have at present as Colonial Treasurer the ablest man available, but I am not in favor of Goverrtm6nt Insuranoe against poverty. It is an Utopian scheme, which, if i ever carried' out, would press most heavily on the industrious. The system of administering justice in the Colony requires a radical reform. I hope to have an opportunity of • detailing to you the changes* which for many years have appeared to me nepeßijary f If you do me thi holier of selecting nte as your representative I shall enter the House as an independent member, • inolined to give a general support to the present Govern-' ment, but perfectly free to vote and act as I may cohaider best and wisest in your interest and fhat^of -the Colony at large. One thjug you may feel, sure of, that you will find fio one' who has a more affectionate and lively concern for the wellbeing of the distriot and the people in it than myself. - , I have the honor to be, Gflnfeterrien, ; v Tour obedtant servapt; , .EojfAßn Shaw.
