It is my intention,, to".' meet tte . electors of this Disiaict as oiten as it is possible before the election day and at- not 'only the principal town-' ships, but also the various ridings of the County, m order to express my views iipon the different iniportaiit points. I may say that if I have the ijQnor to be elected your representative, I will faithfully work for the good of your district and the whole ■colony, and be.' at" all times ready to render to you ( aa.'- account of nay stewardship.; . : ;•.-:!' .<■■ '.«< $ t'i am, gentlemen/ ■■ ; f • '■■ ""' :■ Yours obediently. :•• j Df^ALprFRASERf^;To P. Y. LETHBRIDGE, Esq., G. ! M. SiTEfSON, Esq:, and the, of her, electors signing the requisitions, asking me to become '-■ a candidate for- the Manawatu. seat. • . • /^\ ENTLEMEN, : In response to ; VjX your very flattering and gratifying request I have great pleasure m i consenting to be nominated as a candidate, for. Manawatu at the com,ing election. . „,, „;■:'•; •. t „ -.; :: I 'shal':'* take an early opportunity of ad^^wing the electors at ; the ■■ various centres, and explaining my political yiews m detail. " * 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 .jcfpuse. Though that Ministry has no doabt, made mistakes I believe the leading members of it have on the whole! worked honestly, according to their lights, for .the good of tlie colony at large, and that especially they have tried to promote the prosperity of the country districts by liberalising the land laws- and by their scheme for the construction of roads a;nd bridges, the partial failure of which! through want of funds is attributable to , causes beyond the control; of :4ny Government. I cannot, however, agree with Mr Rol« leston'sprojected scheme of perpetual leasing, or with what it is now the fashion to call the nationalization of the Uand. Let the. Crpwn lands be leased on the ■ easiest' tferins comKjpafable with duejpr.pyisjori for.fiurvey and road making, but asunder, the present Acfeifelt ;a purchasing clause) (always be granted ; alter, a. fair -pro" (portion of improvement has been :made. ta-iiest nationalisation^ of the land, I hold, is to settle it with freeholders' m moderate sized block's, tt'psting-for revenue- to the develops nient of the resources of the country caused i by such settlement rather than to rents extracted by- aCen.ti'al Government • from ? a- State tens .antry. . ' v 1 agree generally with the native policy :of "the Atkinson Ministry; and especially so with Mr Bryce's : -proposal for the resumption of tbe preemptive right. .' ' lam m favour of rtecular education, and as long as the finances of the colony warrant it, of free priinn ary education, and m any case of free edncation up to the fourth standard. ', '.' „1 should like, to 'see our railways 'nlanaged by a non ; political Board, the membei'S of which should only be\ removable' m the same planner' as Judges of the Supreme Court. 1 Other ajid^ininor questions- 1 , will deal witli "when addressing the electors face to face: -' " ? " "'' .. If j have ;the honor, to be 'elected, : I can conscientiously say that I will endeavour, to,- tbe. best of my abiity ; to represent the district as a whole, without bias m favour of any particuUir part of it, while remembering at the same time that a member is elected to watch over tlfe' interests, of the colony at large.
