THE MANAWATU SEAT.
The Wanganui Chronicle has got hold of some cock and-bull story about Mr G. W. Russell going to stand for Manawatu. This will be news for the electorate, a large proportion <of whom have probably never heard of the man. Besides, he would know that he would sustain a still more disastrous "defeat than m the Foxton contest, which must be : pretty fresh m his memory yet. He may be terribly self-conceited, and all that, but he is not altogether deficient m common sense, and he must know very well that he would have a considerably less chance for the Manawatu seat than he had for Foxton, for which all his friends told him at the start he "had not a ghost of a show," as the result proved.
