HIGH WARD ELECTION.
To the Editor. • *> b observe by a report in one of your morning contemporaries of Mr Burt’s meet* -Sift Mt Ramsay presided, and that the Mayor elect' took upon 'himself to recommend the ratepayers of High Ward to elect Messrs Burt and Mercer as their representatives ou Saturday next. I should like to know what right Mr Ramsay has to go out of his way to instruct the ratepayers whom they shall elect. Does he think they are not able to judge for* themselves ? For own part, I think it a piece of unwarrantable presumption, and such as the oitisens of High Ward are likely to resent. .Individually, I care not who is elected, but X thinfr
it wrong* and also unfair, for the Mayor elect to endeavor to irfluence the electors against Mr Isaac I intended to vote for Messrs Burt and Mercerj but I shall now certainly give a vote to Mr Isaac.—lam &0,, ’ Digs Ward E AtepaVkr, Dunedin, July 31.
