I have resided amongst you for some years and am personally known to many of you; possibly my political opinions may not be. On that ground I may be allowed to state briefly:—lam of opinion that centralization and an undue creation of departments, and as a necessary consequence an opening for place seekers, exists, far beyond the requirements of an efficient administration of the Government of the province; and this has in a measure tended to bring about the present financial difficulties. I should, if elected, support any well devised measures calculated to develope the resources of the province and am of opinion that nothing will effect this short of a judicious extension of railways and good roads. I am also in favour of a system of promoting a Bound education, consistent with the existing requirements. I should be prepared to support any measure to conserve the landed estate of the province, especially witli a view of modifying the present system of granting pre-emptive rights. I think that the present system of Road Board administration is very defective, especially in the outlying districts; and I cannot see the justice of the farmers' industry being taxed; and the holders of unimproved lands, and the run-holding community being exempt, or nearly so, from local taxation. My motto would be" Economy, retrenchment, and no special class legislature." The farming and other interests being vested, and, to my mind, paramount, should be as faithfully represented as the sheep and commercial interests. If you think me competent to represent you in the Provincial Council I am willing to place my services at your disposal, and hold myself in readiness to meet you at any time more fully to explain my views. I am, Your obedient servant, JOHNJEBSON. Fountain villa, Lincoln road, Feb. 16, i 866. c 446 TO THE ELECTORS OF THE SELWYN DISTRICT. GENTLEMEN.-I have received a requisition from many of the influential electors of your district asking me to allow myself to be nominated, at the forthcoming general election, as a candidate to represent you in the Provincial Council, and I have much pleasure in complying with their request. The jfcet that my own personal interest so much depends on the general prosperity of the district will probably be considered sufficient guarantee that I will carefully watch over all matters affecting our common welfare, and as I intend soon to be a resident I among you, I shall be able to make myself further acquainted with your requirements; and, should you return me as your member, to advocate them to the best of ability, provided they are not inconsistent with the general prosperity of the province. With my best thanks to the gentlemen who signed the requisition, I remain, Gentlemen, Your obedient servant, 766 EDWD. JOLLIE. MR. LANCE'S COMMITTEE. "R. LANCE'S COMMITTEE meets .
