THAMES.
'Pack up your Blueys and Go.'
One of the gratifying features of these electioDs is the nnmber of young New Zealanders who have come forward with the desire to Berve their country. This is a hopeful; augury for the fntnra. The Thames electorate is a case in point. Mr Greenslade ia a Thames boy, he has been ednoated on the Thames, and has carved oat a career for himself in the metropolis of the goldfields. AH hie sympathies are with the miners. He has given the mining lawa olose study, he is prepared with proposals for their immense improvement, and he is also very much alive to the wrongs this part of the country has suffered in the matter of public expenditure. Mr Greenalade would make a hustling member. In this respect, he would be a great improvement upon Mr McGowan, who has come to look upon the Thameß as his pocket borough, and who seems to have no energy to spare for the advancement of the interests ot this part of the colony. Nor are Mr McGowan's sympathies really with the miners. He showed this conclusively a year ago when he told the miners who were seeking work to pack up their blaeya and go. The third candidate, Mr Taylor is a Prohibitionist. Of the three caadidates, Mr Greenslade is the best for the goldfields and the people.
