and by that mean* won Id be able to break down the grand (f) system of education which the Colony possessed. Grand, indeed, when it robs one-seventh of tbe population of New Zealand of their just claims. Another objection he raised was that it would completely alter the one man one vote system, as it would mean one man two votes, one man three votes, or, perhaps, one man four votes ; Mr Swan maintaining that tbe husband would influence tbe whole house Of course Mr Swan did not tell us that he, being a brewer, was against the female franchise for tbe simple reason that if women were once allowed to vote there would be a probability of his business being very much curtailed. I s»y, with all my heart, that if by giving the ladies a vote we can get justice done to the Catholics and lessen tbe evil that is wrought by the liquor traffic, the sooner onr mothers and sisters hare a vote tbe better. It also seems strange that. Mr Swan, who belongs to the Conservative side, should trouble himself very much about tbe one man one vote.
