THE COMING ELECTIONS.
•■ '•We understand that a requisition is being largely 'signed asking' His : Worship the '.' Major to become a candidate for one' of the Auckland seats at the forthcoming election. • It.will be seen from our advertising ,"• ' columns that: Mr. Kirkbride, of Mangere, " lias definitely ; announced i himself art a candidate for ; the, Manukau •'district.- This district is . materially altered from '.' i i 9 former boundaries, as large portions of,' Franklin have been put into it. Complaint has frequently ■ been made'that .. t genuine farmers did not come forward 1 as candidates for Parliament, even in districts which were mainly agricultural. In this case no such objection ; ; can bo ; taken, for Mr. Kirkbride is as'good a representative of the farmer and settler as can be found in New Zealand. Mr, Kirkbride = states j that after the House rises he will visit the ', various districts, but in, the advertisement he states the main piahks of his platform. Mr. R. W. Dyer has written to the Wai- ' ka-to Argus, stating that he will, without fail, go to the poll to contest thu Waikato »eat.
