Gillies get in for will he go back to Wanganui. I am sorry to see a man named Kelly is trying for the East Coast district. You ought to stir yourself to get a proper man in for there. I am going to write Randall Johnstone asking him if he will not contest the election and proposing he shd. go and see the Tauranga people. Our Elections are all right the little Rush of opponents have felt their way as to the possibility of opposing us successfully and have given up the idea. I hear they intend to have a go in at the Hustings but I fancy I am quite able to meet them. I wanted to go to Poverty Bay and Wairoa this trip of the Luna but cannot possibly leave - she will be up this way again probably before long and I must try and go there. I want to start the Road works authorised and looking at the country wd. no doubt help the proper expenditure of the money. The Taupo meeting has not ended in very much Locke thinks he has done great things but I have doubts myself whether Ngatirakauwa will go at the road works. I hope they will and if they do we have to thank old Poihipi for working them round. The fact of the Ngatiraukawa coming to a Govt. meeting is by no means a bad sign.
