We make no apology for reminding the public that now is the time to send in names to be placed on the Electorarßoll. JFrom the first of Januarys to the thirty-; first day of March in each year these claims are received by the various regis-' tration officers. . At all times.a matter of; importance that persons should as soon as qualified hare their names placed on some roll, it is' doubly important this year, as the present parliament has but one more session to exist. A general election will follow, which must take place before another compilation of the roll, and all those who.neglect to have, their names registered this year will be ' vitually disfranchised: they will not be able to rote at the general election. Moreover it Js probable that there will be an alteration in ,the representation during the-next session of Parliament, when the seats will be more equitably,, distributed^ The Thames' "will' 'have strong claims for another r member;-, ; Coromandel should have a representative of its ovin; and it is also within' the bounds of possibility that another large mining centre will have sprung up at Ohmemuri, claiming repre?, s'entaition ititlie doloiiial Parliament.; It is therefore of tne utmost importance that all who have not registered should do so, and so: • acquire the power to exercise their influence at future elections.
