TRUTH IN POLITICS.
(To the Editor.) gi f| Prior to commencing their addresses, all political candidates .. should take an oath to speak the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. lam not suggesting that they do not speak the truth, but it must be recognised as problematical whether electors are told the whole truth and thereby, on incomplete facts, they arrive at conclusions which are far from the truth. To tell nothing but the truth, which includes their genuine opinions, is also desirable, for obvious reasons. I am not doubting the veracity of any candidate, but consider the suggestion has such merits that it should be adopted. Locally, at any rate, theie Bean be no reason why it is not practised, now that it has been suggested. SEEKER.
