ELECTION NOTES.

Mr Haynes states that he has no intention of retiring from the contest for Waihemo. Sir William Fox, in addressing the Ponsonby electors, said there was room for retrenchment to the extent of half-a-million sterling. Major Atkinson's meeting at Opunake on Monday night broke up in confusion after a great row caused by the residents of Opunake objecting to the presence and interference of persons who had gone from Hawera and other places to affect the voting at the local meeting. Mr W. Oarlton addressed a meeting of the electors of Roslyn at Maori Hill on Monday night. Mr Mitchell (ex-mayor) occupied the chair. The schoolhouse was filled to tho door, there being about 00 electors present. The speaker dealt with most of the leading subjects engaging public attention in a speech lasting about an hour. When speaking of railways, he said it was the July of the State to make a railway to tap the heart of the country, and the feeders should be good metalled roads, and not branch railways. Speaking of our industries and Protection he said it

was our duty to provide seme means of livelihood for those who were growing up around us. We could not send them all on to the land. All

wanted to see their children put into various kinds of industries, so that they might get the benefit of, and prolit by, the skill of their fathers. Members of the House who talked so much about the power of any one man, were practically admitting their own weakness. The

speaker was frequently applauded. In answer to questions, he said he was not in league with Mr Ross to keep out Mr Hutchison. Such an

insinuation was beueath contempt. He would not bo made a tool of to oblige the Queen, let alone an opposing candidate. He would not withdraw in favour of Mr Hutchison. His committee and himself were going to win the election. Mr W. Aitken moved and Mr J. Campbell seconded a vote of thanks ami confidence in Mr Oarlton as the most suitable candidate. This was met by an amendment from Mr W. A. W. Wathen of thanks only. Ten hands were held up for the amendment and 45 for the motion, which was carried amidst cheers. A vote of thanks to tho chairman concluded the proceedings.
