The County Chairman’s Fledge.
TO THE EDITOR. Sir, —In your report of the ratepayers’ meeting held at Oruru on the first instant you quote Mr. Geo. Wilkinson its having said that the pledge given by him
to voters on election day was necessary to 44 counteract a certain damning statement ” made by me at the “ eleventh hour ” and as I think it not unlikely that some of your readers—those not acquainted with me—may be apt to not only miscontrue the assertion hut also to assume that the course pursued by Mr. Wilkinson, viz., interfering with electors at the entrance to the polling-booth, was a legitimate one to adopt, I desire to advise them that all the “ damning statements” made by me were made from the public platform and had the County Chairman been able to refute them he had ample time in which to do so.—l am, etc., F. MAUGHAM.
