M. A. R. ATKINSON.
In the course of his address to tho. l electors of Wellington East at the New j Century Hall last evening, Mr. Atkinson said what he feared most was tho overconfidence of his friends and supporters, who were inclined to regard his candidature as being absolutely safe. He hoped they would continue their efforts to the end as determinedly as at the start. Instead of the old maxim that it was the duty of the Opposition to oppose, he held that it was the duty of the Legislature to legislate. 'Mr. Atkinson clearly stated the articles of his political faith, commented on pre&ent administrative methods, and claimed that in the past his legal technical knowledge had been of considerable value in detecting flaws in proposed legislation, and in suggesting amendments. The question for the electors to decide now waa which candidate was likely to prove the most useful member foi the district and for the country as a whole. Mr. Atkinson w&a accorded a hearty vote of thanks and confidence.
