WESTERN MAORI ELECTORATE

, PETITION AGAINST MR. KAIKAU'S RETURN. fBT TELEGRAPH — PRESS ASSOCIATION.} HAMILTON, 10th May. Pepene Eketone's petition against Henare Kaihau's election for the Western Maori electorate was heard this afternoon before Judges Edwards and Cooper. Mr. Earle, in opening the case, said that the chief grounds of the petition were that polling places had not been published in the Maori Gazette on eight different days prior to the day of the polling ; that voting papers, had not been issued to each elector ; that no time or times for issuing such papers had been stated ; that the places where the polling should have taken place were not used for such purpose, but that other places were used in substitution. Mr. Earle also stated that -110 voting papers were returned without the names of candidates being filled in, the electors, in many cases, not being afforded opportunity "of filling them in. He contended that these were irregularities, and were flagrant breaches of the Act. In moie than one case the place at which the polling should have taken place had bean changed to one distant some miles away, and, in one instance, the poll actually took place on an open road, no house being used. Judge Edwards asked how much the election cost, and it was stated in reply that it ran into well over a thousand pounds. Mr. Earle submitted that the Act had been further infringed by allowing more than one Maori to be present in the booth at one time. The court adjourned till 10 o'clock next morning.

Nearly all cough medicines that are Offered for sal© simply control the cough —that is all. There is nothing healing about thpm. This is where they differ so greatly from Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. When the milcous lining of the, throat becomes congested, when the lining membrane of tile bronchial tube is inflamed, or when the most delicate tissues of the lungs become affected, then Chamberlain's Cotigh Remedy shows itself superior to .ill other medicines, because of its healing aiid strengthening properties. Its power to control congestion and inflammation puts jt in a different list from any other cough medicine. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy soothes, haals, and strengthens. The cough disappears, for the cause has Been removed. —Advt. '
