TO THE ELECTORS OF AWAEUA. ADIBS and Gentlemen, —Another candidate having been brought out at the last moment, I would respectfully ask you to excuse me from meeting you at the various centres. First, it is not possible to dcso, there not being sufficieut time ; second, in the general interests of the political party to which I have all along belonged, I promised, only within the last few days, to address meetings in centres distant from Awarua. I will not, in this arrangement, break my word, and I feel sure that my friends in Awarua would not appreciate such a course, even if (under the altered circumstances that have arisen), I were inclined to do so. My view* on the leading public questions and my general actions as your representative in Parliament are well known to you. If th*y commend themselves favourably to you, I shall feel honoured by again being entrusted with your confidence, and I shall, as hitherto, endeavour to do what I believe to be for the general welfare of the colony and for the general advancement of the district to which I belong. Since my return to the colony, I have been flooded with letters and communications to such an extent as to have rendered it impossible for me to acknowledge them within the time at my disposal. I trust those who have communicated with me and have not received replies will make allowances and accept my assurance that as soon as I can they will be duly attended to. It is through no want of courtesy on my part that this has not already been done, but entirely from inability to overtake the mass of work I have had to do. I shall personally greatly esteem the active co-operation and assistance of my friends throughout the district. Thanking you most heartily for the universal courtesy and kindness I have invariably received at your hands, Believe me to be, Faithfully yours, J. G-. WARD. Nov. 30th, 1899.

TO THE ELECTORS OE AWARUA. WIHG to another candidate being nominated at the last moment, it becomes necessary for the supporters of the Hon. J. Or. Ward, not only to go to the poll themselves, but also to use their utmost endeavours to secure the return of the gentleman who has so long and ably j represented Awarua. There should be no apathy on the part of supporters, as there is a disturbing influence in connection with the forthcoming election whicn renders active action absolutely necessary. Electors of Awarua.. Why should every Elector record their vote on Wednesday ? Because, if Prohibition is carried it means a loss of nearly three-quarters of a million sterling per annum—moreover It means adding to the taxation upon land of nearly three times annually the land tax now collected. It also means doubling all the rates of local bodies, and would seriously retard the reading and opening up of our country districts. Consequently We earnestly ask everyone opposed to the intolerance and injustice of Prohibition to toll every vote against it on the day of the election. M. O’BEIEJT, Acting Secretary, pro tern. Winton, 29th Nov. TO THE LIBERTY LEAGUE; Southland.
