"WZMI- ADAIB,

TO THE ELECTORS OF THE EAST COAST DISTRICT. #""1 ENTLEMEN,— I am in favor o* further endowments being given to the Harbor Board to produce revenue sufficient to obviate the necessity of any rate being levied, and an endowment for the Wairoa Harbor. I shall advocate the construction of roads for the purpose of opening up the country from Gisborne to Clyde, respectively. I shall propose a commission with absolute power to deal with questions of Native title, Ofld also alterations in the Native Land Laws, to prevent future complications. I am iv favor of the Education standard being maintained, and reserves being devoted, not to High Schools, but to primary education. I am in favor of Local Self Government ancl will support a measure for that purpose. I shall strongly advocate and support a comprehensive scheme of colonisation,subject to such restrictions as may be necessary to be applied, and that caution which is required in national undertakings should be exercised, and especially so as not to interfere with the present labor market. I am in favor of % Land and Income Tax in substitution of the Property Tax (so that , the £50,000,000 of money at present escaping taxation may bear its share), and will also support Sir George Grey's Land for Settlement Bill. I am, Yours faithfully, 843 W. L. REES. TO THE ELECTORS OF THE EAST COAST. GENTLEMEN,— At the request of a large number of my fellow settlers I have consented to stand for the district. I feel honored by the distinction of being asked to represent the district wliich I have lived in for seventeen years, and have seen so improved by settlement as to be one of the best in tlie colony. I need badly say that if returned I shall do my utmost for the electorate. While feeling that I should be greatly honored by biing returned, I yet consider that Electors are under an obligation to a Member, if he does his duty, for the time, trouble, and expense he is put to on their behalf. I regret that I cannot spare time at this busy season of the year to canvass, nor am I so wealthy as to be able to spend money over the election. I will at the larger centres of population address the Electors and give such information as to my political opinions as may be necessary, which, combined with a knowledge of me that a great many of my fellow-settlers have, should be amply sufficient to satisfy Electors in votiug. I should, if returned, expect to exercise entire independence in my actions in Parliament, using my judgment to vote as I think right and best suited for the constituency. I am a believer in the present Government, with Sir Harry Atkinson as Premier, though I should not be a blind supporter. I think the late addition to the Ministry and the new distribution of seats likely to strengthen the present Government ; and I consider their steady conduct in the affairs of the country, particularly with regard to retrenchment, has materially resuscitated the credit of the colony. I am very much opposed to further borrowing. This country, I believe, is now recovering from the loug depression, and only wants a continuation of the present careful management, and rest from experimental politics, to make great progress, not perhaps by leaps and bounds as formerly, but surely, steadily, and on a firmer and more lasting basis. I should vote for reduction in taxation directly it is possible. I believe in every facility being given for men of small means to acquire laud, and that land for such purposes should be opened tor selection wherever suitable. In Native land matters, after considerable experience, I believe in absolute free trade, removing all possible restrictions. I am a strong advocate of free education, but consider that under preseut circumstances the cost is greater than we can afford. From my long residence here I know the district intimately, and our wants and interests are identical. I fear that I am wanting in powers of oratory to do full justice to the constituency in Parliament, but whatever ability I may possess I should use it to the utmost of my power for the better government of the country and the benefit of the district. 030 A.
