RAGLAN ELECTION.
"lour leading article in Friday's issue hits the nail on the head as regards the people's attitude towards the present Administration. As one who has voted Reform for the past twenty years, I am beginning to think that's change will not do any harm. Mr. Castes blames vote-splitting, a sort of "too many cooks," for his defeat. I maintain that if the " chief cook" had stayed in Wellington looking after the " financial stew" and the u Samoan dumplings" instead of trying to " stuff" the electors, Mr. Waring would not now be "in the soup." Reform certainly lost enough votes to win the seat through that special train. With so much unemployment and many people in need of a square meal (not deal) the expense of this special was not warranted. The ordinary express should have filled the bill of fare. The country's business is not so important when it is possible for half the members to take a week off to take part in a by-election. Mr. Holland is asked to share in the discredit, because he was picked up en route but who ordered the train? DEfORM.
