Wairarapa being a rough conntry, we want rough men to represent it in Parliament, men like Mr Pharazyn, who is constantly riding about in all parts of the Volley, and who is well up to the requirements of each district,' Two men like Mr Pharazyn, whe would work together for the benefit of the "whole, would carry all before tham.
