D x x ° " WILL HAVE MUCH PLEASURE IS MEETING THE ELECTORS OF THE ASHLEY DISTRICT At the following places and dates :-- MONDAY, 23r JULY, Lobnrn. TUESDAY, 24th JULY, Stoke, at G p.m.; Cust, at 8 p.m. WEDNESDAY, 25th JULY, View Hill, 1784 TO THE ELECTORS OF THK ASHLEY DISTRICT.. fi ENTIjRMEN—Mr Vcrrall has gone to some H£jT trouble to lay before you the speeches made at the last Oxford meeting, by publishing. those made by Mr OUivier ana himself, and a, very short one by myself. It wan v very clI 1 evening', and I was at the disadvantage of speaking last, and did little more than announce my candidature. As I believe the reporters will be too busy to attend any political me-etiogy in the district, I shall not have a chanco of laying my views fully before you through their medium. My endeavors will be in the direction of simplifying and developing a more paternal form ot government by economy and efficiency rather than that by a system of choeseparu ff. But the .necessities or the position. I think, require a deal of reorganisation, taking into consideration the welfaro of all classes. Instead of bringing forth the antagonistic feelings of the people, it should bo nuuio to bear evenly and draw together all classes, having due regard for the less fortunate. ■ ■ It is within the power of the Government to - do a great deal towards encouraging the in-' dxistry of the country. I think it ie a mistake to .make the expense of living: greater-by Imposts on tne ordinary domestic requirements, as that would check development. Tnere ara certain industries which may be beneficially fostered till they- have attained a proper; amount of stability. The finance of tho coßartrris precipitated into such a position, that •« has rtfrceu upon~ue this disagreeable' word "Retrenchment. It is like a man having to retrace his way in'a dark and muddy lane, when it has become perilous to llrooced further; therefore I am totally averse to further borrowing. I havo no confidence in Mr Verrall's flimsy paper scheme—it will not produce the capital tuatis necessary to develop fhosb"industries, and establish the confidence which ie absolutely necessary. You will see that lam desirous of utilising the abundant labor at present. in the country, rather thau the introduction of Chinese. When our industries have been established and developed, oar own races (through the many advantages tho country offers) will flow towards us. The goodness of our port and the excellence of our steam communication -have been only partially realised. ' I was flattered by it being said of mc at the Oxford nomination that "I had provided all tho brains for tho old Provincial Council." That was flattery. I know that if you send mc to Wellington I shall have my full share cf quiet influence. My own constituency shall have my especial supervision. I hope to b; always at hand to consider any question that you wish to have attended to. I have been sufficiently long before you in my public and private capacity for you to know that I say whaD I mean, and I trust my friendship with the constituents will be of a lasting character. - ■ Your obedient servant, MARMADUKE DIXON. 1924 TO THE ASHLEY ELECTORS, ENTLE'MEN.—Mr Dixon ridicules the idea VX of a Sta! c Bank. Now many people laugh at his Sun Spot Hobby! But I ask, is ridicule argument f Mr Saundere represents the duty of 33 per cent, upon salt as an oppressive tax upon, farmers. But lam told that twopenny worth of salt ia sufficient to euro a pig! I therefore ask can this orator be a state man ? Yet each of the above gentlemen appears to believe himself to be, not only a fit and proper person to represent the Ashley district in Farliament, but to take command of the " Ship of t he State." Now I claim thit the chief importance of returning mysrlf to Parliament will lie in the> fact that at the next General Election other candidates will come forward on the same lines as mypelf, and will be elected by grand majo. ritiee, and that we should then have a free and independent Parliament. I invite Electors to MEET mc at WEST EYRETON, To night (Men lay). View Hill (by special desire), at 5.30 p.m. WEST OXFORD, To-morrow (Tuesday), AT EIGHT O'CLOCK, P.M. 1916 JOHN MILES VERRALL.
