DUNEDIN CENTRAL ELECTION.
TO THE EDITOR. Sir,—l was late getting home from work last night, and not having time to change my working clothes for my bost ones, which I bought and paid for when things were brisker than they are now, I determined to go and hear Mr Hodge as I was. I had not much trouble in getting uear the front seat. I did not see evtrything clearly that he tried to explain, but he tries hard to make us working men understand what he means, and I say we should not blame him if wo do not manage to follow him. But there is one thing I do not like about his speech, and that is the way he does put the butter thick on to us working men. When I was coming away I felt as if I just had "toffey for breakfast, toffey for dinner, and toffey for tea." I have a sweet tooth, but Ido not think I can live on nothing but toffey. Perhaps he will change the bill of fare in his next speech.— I am, etc., Pick and Shovel. Dunedin, August 3.
