Electoral THAMES ELECTION. TO THE ELECTORS OF THE DISTBICr OF THAMES. pi ENTLEMEN,— VT As I may be unable to com municate personally with each of you, I take this opportunity of placing my political views plainly before you;so that,, if after consideration you believe I shall fairly represent your interests and conserve your, rights, I may depend upon your votes and influence on the day of -election.,;/ ■■'.; .■ : :'■';' .•■■■- ■•'■'.- I need hardly inform you that I have always been a believer in Sir Geo. Grey and his policy, and will accord him a liberal support, but I desire to go to Parliament as your Representative perfectly untrammelled by any party cries, being, above all things, determined to uphold your interests. • lam opposed to the Government as at present constituted, but am not prepared to band over the North Island to Southern influence and control. In addition to having large personal interests in the Thames Goldfield, I believe I am qualified by lengthened experience to judge as to your real wants and requirements,. and will endeavour to advocate such measures as will mitigate the Miners.' Bights and other grievances under which you now suffer. I am in favour of a Land Tax for local purposes—especially affecting unimproted land. ■': :• ■• •■ ;' •■■- . •■•-■■; '■ • ■'• ■•■■ •;;.; ■ I am against Insular Separation, believing New Zealand united to be better and stronger than a divided colony. / I am in favour of free and equal educational advantages being within the reach of every child, but would advocate economy in administering them without impairing their real efficiency. The Thames-vTe Aroha Railway is an absolute necessity, and I will use my very best exertions towards securing its speedy completion. I think thfe right to dig gum should be obtainable by anyone on payment of a small license fee, and I am against the leasing of large blocks of land for these; purposes, as it tends to create monopoly, enriching a few at the expense of the many. I am in favour of encouraging local industries' and manufactories of every possible kind, and shall give my best attention to those suitable to this district. In conclusion, I may remark that as my property and interests are here, your welfare and my own are identical. , I shall take an early opportunity of addressing you at public meetings, and giving; at length a full explanation of my views, and answering in a straightforward way any questions that may be put to me.' ' :■■ ' ',; .-,. ..'.,' .■:. ■■■'. .■ " r: •■'.'■ Ihave the.honour to remain, Gentlemen, Yours truly, W. FRASER.
