MR. QUINLAN'S CANDIDATURE,
A liberal With Reservations.
Mr. Qninlan's confession of faith will ba found in another column. He claims to be a supporter of the present Government, bat reserves to himself the right, if elected, of aeing his own judgment in votiug on all questions that are not distinctly party ones, which in effect means that he is a straight-oat Seddonite, only, the Premier has not, bo far, endorsed his candidature. The ideas that he principally favours are the extension of the North Trnnk and North Auckland railways as rapidly as possible, berating up all large estates in view of introducing a Echeme for working men's blocks, the continuance of old age pensions, Imperial Penny Postage, federation with Australia, the Government control of {monopolies, alteration of gaming laws, and sweeping amendments in the existing licensing laws. Mr Qainlan is not in favour of Prohibition.
Straight tip for the working man. Last year, Seddon gave £1500 to "Wellington for technical education, £900 to Danedin, and £100 to Auckland. Hooray for Seddon.
Elsewhere Mr. F. Hull announces addresses to the Mannkau electors on Thursday, Friday, Monday and Tuesday nights. He also wishes it to be known that he is the only Opposition candidate who has any chance of election in that district, as he is the one chosen of hia party. Also that he came out before it was known Sir Maurice O'Rorke would stand.
The friendsof the late Mr P. W. Schuler, upon whose remains an inquest was held this week, are very indignant at the neglect with which they say hs was treated at the hospital. On the advice of his doctor, he went there to undergo an operation for abscesses in the region of the bowels. Three separate times, they say, he was got ready for the operation, but each time the medical officer in charge of the case was too busy to attend to him, and when at last, after lying in the hopital for two months, time was found to proceed with the operation, the patient's state had got so low that it was deemed too dangerous to administer the chloriform or attempt the operation. These are the complaints of the deceaseds friends. We would advise them to bring their grievance before the Hospital Board.
