G KNTI,F.MKX, - The Dissolution of the first General Assembly of N Tew Zealand wiil soon render it necessary for you to choose two representatives for a New Assembly from among the candidates for thai honor, as one of whom I now venture to present myself. I know that the duties of vout Representative will be arduous, though plain ; and, under the piesent circumstances of the colony, must require the devotion of much time ami" trouble for tlieir proper fulfillment. I ibcrefbie come forwaid, trusting that you wiil find in me the activity and straightforward firmness so necessary in the office to wl ich I aspire. As to my political views, I can only say here, generally, that that line of policy "which was adopted l>y the majority of the late Assembly, in all its sessions, seems to me that which mu>*t, ;it this titne of radical change in the Government of the Colony, procure the greatest lienefiis to the Public Service; and which should, then - fore, receive the support of your representative*. ,' The views which I take of oilier important questions I hope to he able to explain l<» your sati^n.r-tion, when I solicit your suffrages in per on. I am. Gentlemen, Your humble and obedient servant, „ „ , CisosiHß Ward. Isortbbrook, Rungiora, Oct. 15, 1955.
