To E. T. LETHBEIDGE, Esq., G. M. SNELSON, Esq., and the other electors signing the requisitions, asking me to become a candidate for the Manawatu seat. /^ ENTLEMEN, In response to \JC your very jflattering and gratifying request I have great pleasure m consenting to be nominated as a candidate for Manawatu at the coming election. I shall take an early opportunity of addressing the electors at the various centres, and explaining my political views m detail. i In the meantime I - may state that I am more m accord with the policy of the Atkinson Ministry than with that of any of the numerous leaders on the other side of the present ilouse. Though that Ministry has no doubt made mistakes I believe the leading members of it have on the whole worked honestly, according to their lights, for tne good of the colony at large, and that especially they haye t tried to promote the prosperity of the country districts by liberalising the land laws, and by their scheme for the construction of roads and bridges, the partial failure of which through want of funds is attributable to causes beyond the control of any Government. I cannot, however, agree with Mr Bofa ieston's projected scheme of perpetual leasing, or with what it is now the fashion to call the nationalization' of the land. Let the Crown lands be leased on the easiest terms compatible with due provision for survey and road making, but as under »he present Act let a purchasing clause always be granted after a fair pro* portion of improvement has been made. The truest nationalisation of the land, I hold, is to settle it with freeholders m moderate sized blocks, trusting for revenue to the develops ment of the resources of tlie country caused by such settlement rather than to rents extracted Joy a Central Government from a State tens antry. I agree generally with the .native. policy of the Atkinson Ministry, and especially so with Mr Bryce's proposal for the resumption of the pi-e» emptive righi,. lam m favour of Recular education, and as long as the finances of the colony warrant it, of free prim* ary education, and m any case of free education up to the fourth standard. I should like to see our railways managed by a non political Board, the members of which should only be removable m the sams manner as Judges of the Supreme Court. Other and minor questions I will deal with when addressing the electors face to face. If I have the honor to be elected, lean conscientiously say that I will endeavour to tlie best of my ability to represent the district as a whole, without bias m favour of any particular part of it, while remember* ing at the same time that a member is elected to watch over the interests of the colony at large.
