MANAWATU VOTE-SPLITTING.
(To the Editor.)
Sir, —Ever since I got that big Friesian bull I have had so much trouble with my cows that I have not been able to attend to other w-ork or reply to ■ “Reformer’s” question about Mr Linklater’s majority in 1922 and 1925; but I have it now. In 1922, Mr Linklater’s majority was 1470; in 1925 liis majority was 2074, so he actually polled 604 more votes in his second appeal to the people than he did his first appeal. This doesn’t look like lost confidence, does it? In the face of these figures Mr Linklater could hardly be expected to stand down for any man, because they prove beyond doubt that his services as member for the district, had won him increased support for his first term of office. I think on the 14th inst. he will have a still bigger majority.—l am, etc., J “COWBOY.”
