TABOUR DA* SPORTS. THE DRAWING OF PRIZES Those Persons who received ordinary re» ceipt forms at the gate as substitute tickets will receive Art Union Numbers if theypresent their substitutes to the secretary, Railway Chambers R. F. WAY, Secretary / ' ~~ TO THE CITY OF AUCKLAND ELECTORS. Ladies and Gentlemen,— I ordered some planks for my political platform some time ago from a timber company, but so far they nave not been supplied, consequently they will be too green to use when I get them, as the elections are so close. I have some old cut and dried ones which I will supply you with. I am opposed to Party Government as it exists at present. It is demoralising in its influence, and opens the door to wholesale corruption. I am opposed to the continuance of the Upper House as at present constituted. It is an incubus upon healthy government of the colony. I would advocate the finances of the colony being managed by an independent Board, separate from the members of either the Lower or Upper House. I would advocate the simplification of our laws. Some of our Licensing Laws are a disgrace to the statute books of this colony. I am opposed to the Tied Houses system, as applied to hotels in this city, as I consider the law for its prevention is being over - ridden by the power of money. THE LAND.— I have not studied this question sufficiently to warrant me giving an au« thoritative opinion as regards the different systems for disposing of Crown lands. I believe in throwing them open for settlement as fast as possible, and giving every facility to bona-fide settlers, as I think the concentration of population in large towns is the :greatest menace and curse to our civilisation from a moral and physical point of view KAURI GUM.— National wealth. The most valuable asset that this country ever possessed. The way the North Island has been depleted of th s valuable commodity is one of the most glaring mistakes ever made by any Government. They have practically allowed our sovereigns to be sold for ten shillings. STATE FORESTRY.— I would advocate the reproduction of the kauri tree, as I am credibly informed that a kauri ricker when twenty years old exudes that white resinous matter which is kauri gum, in its primitive state. Such being the case, every mother to-day in this city who has a baby in arms can rely upon this industry to look forward to for employment for her child, when the more laborions work of digging it has practically ceased to exist. The mothers must all remember it is contingent upon their returning me. I would advocate an alteration in the present system of Registration of Electoral Votes. I will deal more exhaustively with all these subjects before polling day. Yours faithfully, HECTOR NORMAN SIMSON, Sen. EDUCATION RESERVES.
