GENERAL ASSEMBLY ELECTION. WESTLAND ELECTORATE. GREYMOUTH November 20th, 1931. TO THE ELECTORS OF FAR SOUTH WESTLAND. Ladies and Gentlemen, ; / You have no doubt gleaned from the public news that lam a candidate for the Westland Seat at the forthcoming General Election, and I beg to introduce myself. 1 have the h<moi .Of being selected by the Rt. Hon. G. W. Forbes and the Rt. Hon. J. G. Coates, as the Coali ion Candidate, and I have the full Government support in my candidature. Although I may be a strangei to you personally, I hope if you honour me with your confidence, 'to make myself personally known to you later, for if elected, 1 shall make it a point-of visit-mg ail parts of the Electorate. In the present circumstances my candidature was announced only on ’NovembeAllth, and with polling day fixed for December 2nd, there will of course not be time to visit all parts and your locality will have to be excluded for the present. I have, however, had the opportunity of travelling as far as Weheka, and must say at once that I was immensely strhck with’the potentialities of the south. With the settlements, the .great stands of timber, the promising mineral deposits now being tried and the unrivalled scenic glories of South Westland, I realise the district has a great future before it. It is the duty of any and all Governments which may be in puwer, to do all possible to develope a district where, also, tneie iemains so much Crown lands, which'can never be properly utilised till provided with adequate access. As regards the striking improvements I have seen in the .South, I would like to pay a tribute to the- energy and enterprise of the settlers Avho pioneered the remote and difficult distnc , and who in the'settled parts, have brought about such material development m comparatively so short a time. Considering the brief time in which an attempt has been made to give the boutk improved access with roads and bridges, a wonderful advance has. been made, and it the bar bout l district were served equally with a' good arterial road, and the large rivers and streams spanned by bridges, your locality would show equal progress with the resultant prosperity. As pioneers of isolated and remote settlements, I consider you are entitled to the fullest help in. roading. While many parts of the Dominion are blessed with both roads and railways, you are without even a vehicle road,. and have to face the dangers and delays of fording swo en rivers every time you have to move about. The resources and prospects of the district call xoi better attention -with roading, and if elected I, pledge myself to see the southern road, pushed forward with all rapidity, and regular access assured by bridging* alj large crossings. With tne amount of surplus labour in the Dominion, and the Government looking for places to use the labour reproductively, I shall certainly urge that more labour he sent into the far south to assist m opening up it's -treasures and resources ft>r the public benefit. s (.Regarding mail services, I feel also, you are not served adequately. With three mails reaching. .the. .end weekly, a better mail service should he afforded the settlers further south, and I shall certainly devote my energies if you place your confidence in me, m endeavouring to give you/a bettef service l -than oiice’ 1 weekly or once fortnightly, as notv obtains. ' I shall also endeavour to secure you a better sea service to the far south ports for your exports ;of stock in''particular. I realise it is a very long drive for fat stock from the Okuru region to the .Restricted ; marjkets the settlers have been reaching. The stock must tall away in a drive of over 120 to>l4o miles. It will be mv endeavour to seek for more frequent trips of the subsidised s earnior* so that st/ick can be lifted and landed at northern ports where it will be possible for the settlers r 'to - seledt th.eir choice of market in disposing of prime stock and other produce. Regarding -mining developments, I have a desire to help as much as possible. I understand that South Westland contains a great range of minerals of all kinds and the. locality otters a splen®MSjy4he%eolqgist in.the first place to locate finds for the enterprising investor to follow upsA-I am,,a firm believer in,scientific research, and if .elected 1 will do all I can to induce the Government- of' .the day to send an exploratory scientific party into the south to endeavour to disclose its latent r.esgurces.. New Zealand owes a great deal to the gold-mining industry m par ibuldr for a population in this country in its young days. Something ot that ceb mlght : 'weil be repaid-, by. probing-the southern unexplored territory for its hidden treasures, and 1 shall advocate the adoption of such a policy for the development of the country. A gold rush or a rich mineral find at' this juncture in the Crown,Lands south, would at once bring a nave of prosperity to New Zealand in the benefits of which ail parts of the Dominion would participate. ..'Let me say that if sent to Parliament as your Member, I will do all _in my power to develope a district of subfrpromise, for it is one of the few places m New Zealand which affords such attiactive possibilities for material development at the present juncture. tw In regard, to general, politics, I will, if returned, stand by the Coalition Government which is pledged, to safe'and sane administration, and in particular proposes to balance the Budget “ ( ‘ keep it, balanced, so that the credit of the country will continue to stand high. On y y • means will there be safety. The balancing of the Budget means everything to the man on the -L*nd, ias thereby prices are maintained and security is certain. Any reck ess po icy the credit.,of the country, and the man on the land will be the first to suffer His securmes wiH -bV the first to fail, and the toiler on the land wil have less for himself and family for the future My vote will therefore always go for-security in the public finances which is also the bes .ua - antee in the future for the working man, whose interests I have endeavoured to safeguard ahvays. Referring jto myself,,l might say lam pot a stranger to publip life. I have been Mayor oi Gpeymouth for five, years (on the last qcqasion re-elected .unopposed). I was Gminn P. , -.J Power Board when it was launched apd, have continued fio be , associated wpth tia imp r. y. I- h'avq seryecl in ‘other Toqal capacities, and my record of service really spea s.s 1 i • _ .contesting this election, I have no purpose to serve other than the national in.teres s -PP - Fbrhes-Coatea Ministry in this critical time to carry out Hie task taken in hand. Ihe (government is anxious to see Westland represented in Parliament by a suppoi ei, anc a ® P “ B " ed to'-stand-tby; lea ding citizens of Greymontb and, Hokitika. I consented to do so as a _ , have ' the good ■ wishes and support of my friends, throughout the Electorate. “Yv,.Ladies and Gentlemen, may I say in conclusion, that I will be .glad to serve y°u if you will - with your choice, and if so favoured, I trust-, my services will prove o va ue m promoting and developing Westland, a land of great promise, worthy of the grea est a the authorities. ; y- ..; .
