MR CAMERTON AT KAIPARORO.

Mr Cameron addressed the electors at Kaiparoro on Friday evening, Mr T, Parsons was voted to the 'chair. The schoolroom was filled and several ladies were present, The meeting .was of a most cordial nature. At the conclusion of Mr Cameron's speech Mr Greville addressed the meeting, Mr Hogg had stated that he and Mr Cameron had gone to Wellington to be judged like two prize sheep.. The speaker thought that Mr Hogg would find that'on the election day that the majority of people would prefer one of the " alleged " sheep to a—well, to any other animal. (Laughter). Mr Hogg had blamed the Road Board for the heavy traffic by-law. If there was any blame in this matter it rested with the Seddon Government, of which Mr Hogg had been such a blind follower. The Public Works Act of 1894 put all sorts of restrictions on heavy traffic. It was therefore a deliberate attempt to mislead the electors by putting the blame on the local body. (Applause). The local bodies were only carrying out the law made by the Seddon Government, It was the same Government who added ten per cent, to the rates.' Mr R, G. Morgan said that he hoped Mr Cameron, if elected, would not disgrace his constituents by appointing the sort of Justices of the Peace that had been made in the past. (Laughter). Mr Cameron in reply said a Justice of the Peace should be of upright character and worthy of respoofc.. (Applause), Mr T. Parsons appealed to. the electors to vote for Mr Cameron on Friday next and so help to tarn the present corrupt' Government out of office, (Applause). A vote of thanks was accorded to Mr Cameron by acclamation.
