THE WAIKATO LICENSING ELECTION.

TO THE EDITOR. Sik, Some of the electors are in a quandary. They want to do the proper tiling, hut don’t know what it is or they’d do it. This is the how of it. It is understood that Messrs T. 11. W hitc and J. B. Teasdale are on the brewers' ticket, but in December last those two gentlemen struck out the top line—they voted and worked for prohibition—and Mr Teasdale, on the evening before the polling day at Te Awamutu, lectured—a In Isitt—ill favour of prohibition. Yet in the month of March following, i.e. three months afterwards—they are in the liquor camp—and high in favour. Xow Sir, you can see the fix the electors are in. Can either prohibitionist or independent, moderate man or any other free man vote for those candidates ? That is the question. It’s very bothering. If you cannot help us perhaps you would not mind giving space in your paper to Messrs White and Teasdale, in order that they may clear away the clouds of doubt that at present envelope and obscure our minds. They might reply in Thursday’s issue, and we could digest it before easting our votes. —1 am, etc , I’KRI'I.KXKC.
