AN ELECTION LAY.
Electors will you condescond to read this simple lay ? I'll try to giro a hint or two for our election day. Bo wiao, then, Oh electors, chooso your mon with care and thought ; Don't bo gulled by bombast speoches— empty phrasos, meaning nought. Chooso the men of earnost purpose, singleminded, honest, wise, Who will speak the truth out boldly, hate hypocracy and lies : Who will stiok fast to their colours, to your interests be true ; Men like these are found amongst us, but in truth they number few. In the session that is coming, need there is for men of might ; For New Zealand wants wise rulers, who midst wrong will do the right. For your prosperous Empire City, members four are all you need ; Take, then, those you can depend on, true in thought and word and deed. Thorndon, haunt of fashion lovers, Newman is the man for you ; Genial, clever little doctor, he'll legislate '¦" ! and cure you too. Te Aro, bnsy, bustling centre, bring in Monteath, lawyer oute ;
Earnest, grave, and energetic — just the membor that will Buit. Wellington East, sea-breezy Buburb, home of active business men ; Vote for independent Fisher, wielder of the ready pen. Wellington .South, °o PiitprprUing, bravely pird yon for tho fight ; firing in ancient, honest I?ard, doughty champion of the right. Nemo.
