' In the first issue of the Pull-Thro', the journal published by the New Zealand Expeditionary Force at Samoa, a little humor is indulged in in connection with the taking of the votes of members for the forthcoming general elections. "Members of the Samoan Expeditionary Force," it is stated, "will be given the opportunity of recording their votes for the forthcoming general election. If we only knew which candidate was certain to get in by 800 votes or so, we might all plump for his opponent and give him a master shock? since we do not know we can'only publish fragments of election addresses picked up by the wireJess on the beach. It may be a source .of joy to those young men who maYiaged /to .delude the Government into believing that they were over twenty to know that-Mr Massey says: "I shall , give you all a vote, and unless you; ; . use it on my side I shall consider! : you no friend of mine." Sir Joseph . Ward says: "I allowed you all to have a. vote, and unless^ you use it on my side at this election, -at the next, three years hence, non& of tlie- Samoan garrisom will v b© ; allotre^ - tta vote: at ail; Reinamber Kitchenier. says the war will last three years, and vote accordingly.' Mr' Payne, of New I/ynn, the working man's friend, says:: 'You all know what hard work is. Vote for me and keep George Fowlds out. I rejoice to hear that you have closed the Government school,, whyvote for the man who will : have no education to minister to?' Mr A." B Glover says: 'I am sending all my bonny Auckland boys a new tote for the racecourse.' " '.
