ELECTION NOTICES, WELLINGTON HABBOUR BOARD ELECTION. TO THE PAYERS OF DUES OTHER THAN DUES ON SHIPS. QENTLEMEN,I have been your representative on the Board-since April, 1913, and I again ask the honour of your support -for -the same position. 0*» account of my business engagements I hAve not been able to pay you. all a personal visit, a« I intended; but probably that is unnecessary, as I hope that my attention to the duties of the position has come under your notice, and perhaps you may not deem my candidature unworthy of your further support on this occasion 1 -understand, however, that some stress has been laid in a certain quarter on the alleged point that lam supposed to be a blind supporter of the present Chairman of the Board, Mr. R. Fletcher, M.P., and to this statement I give an unqualified denial. Presumably, the reference is to some matter connected with Mr. Fletcher's selection as Chairman of the Board last year; and, as my action on that occasion is now being called in question,"l beg to state emphatically that I voted fori .Mr. ' Fletcher then for the following reasons:—(l) Because he wa9 an elected member of the Board. I myself had beaten his opponent at the polls one week before the chairmanship came up for settlement, but before the day the Chairman waa elected ' the former had been placed on tho Board as a # Government member. (2) Because th'e Board had just emerged from a great- crisis, brought about by the strike'; and as our finances were likely to be affected by this trouble., it seemed to me that at such a juncture we wanted the services of a'man who had a thorough grasp of the Board's business; therefore I thought that Mr. Fletcher should be retained m office. I believe ho is a thoroughly honest and conscientious man, with a. strong grip of the Board's affairs and one having its best interests at heart. I appeal to you, as far-seeing business men with a strong sense of justice, to endorse .my action, as I think it will be conceded th,at'the members of the Board, having an • inner knowledge' of all tho actions of the Chairman during the recent induspiaj trouble, were the best judges of his ability. Doubtless some of you were misled by the vague statements circulating at the time regarding the Chairman s actions, but 'Ii am certain from my knowledge of them that no objection could be taken to what? he did during that unfortunate time. And no objection was taken. Natrurally, the proceedings of th* 4 Board, and of its Chairman, during that protracted ,; period were conducted in committee, and perhaps on that account the misleading statements I have referred to,gained a currency and an importance that otherwise they would not have\attained. I understand that Messrs. Cohen and Cobbe, the two members elected for the Counties of Manawatu and Rangitikei, have been attacked on similar lines to myself with reference to this matter during the Resent contest. But they have evidently the confidence of their constituents, having | been returned unopposed; and that should be a sufficient answer to the-intangible .rumours.circulated regarding.myself. -I- therefore have much confidence in asking for your suppo;*t next Wednesday, Yours respectfully, » ARTHUR D.
