THE ELECTORAL CAMPAIGN.

TO THE EDITOE.

Sir,— In your issue of the Bth iust. your correspondent " Temperance " makes some "very rash and absurd statements which are hardly worth noticing, Yet possibly some of the electors, who are not :»cquaii<le<l with all the candidates referred to, might bo influenced thereby. Therefore, a few words from one who has heard all the candidates and has a very fair opportunity of judging who is the •' favourjte " (travelling a good deal in nil directions in this electorate) might help to correct such erroneous im pressions. I am not afraid that many " fellow temperance workers" or others will falljnto the trap set so cunningly by your correspondent " Temperance." They are too clear-headed to be caught that way. They will "read, mark, learn and inwardly digest" the real merits or demerits of each "candidate by personal study of their indi vidual characters, views, and qualifications for the seat to which they all aspire. Surely no good citizen would vote for a candidate "who openly declares that he believes in the *' spoils to the victors " policy. In fighting for the " plums" with the demoralised sword of " might" instead of filling all our,; public offices and Government situations according to the honest und honourable rule of " merit." As to the opposition candi date for whom your correspondent " Tem perance" pleads, we all know that a more honourable or worthy gentleman than the chairman of the County Council could not be found three years ago, and have we any reason to believe that the " masses " will be more favourable to the " squatter" to-day, or that Mr Studholme will poll more votes than Mr Harper polled? Mr Ager now poses as the "labour candidate," chosen by the Christchurch Unions, who alas! could have very little idea of his chances of election and no power to "put him in." The general question re Mr Ager, asked by those who know him best, or the comparative few who have heard his political addresses, is " will he go to the poll ?" Now for Mr Brock! Can anyone deny his fitness as an " all-round man ? " Surely the enthusiaFm shown at all his meetings, and the fact that he is already so snuch spoken of in all directions as the most popular candidate, will not be found wanting at the polling booths. As to " throwing away our votes, etc.," when I

" Temperance" I said "an enemy hath done this."— I am, etc., Liberal. Ashburton, Nov. 12th, 1902.

MR BROCK AND SIR JOSEPH WARD.

TO THE EDITOR.

Sia, —I must thank you for kindly stating that tli6 version of my interview given by " Franchise " was entirely incorrect. I had no communication with or from Sir Joseph Ward previous to meeting him. Mr Mc- Lachlan most honourably withdrew as I entered the compartment, and the question of my retiring from the contest was never discussed in any way. lam now as I have been from the beginning, running on my "own"as a supporter of the present Go vernment, and ,menn to win on that and that alone.— I am, etc., Wm. Brock. November 12th, 1602.

THE DISGRACEFUL CASE.

TO THE EDITOR,

Sib, —Your correspondent " Vigilant," in his letter of Thursday last, makes a state ment as follows : — " Even to-day in both Great Britain and the Colonies the three greatest curses of our Empire, viz., gamb ling, drunkenness, and impurity, could scarcely exist apart from the licensing 1 system." Now, sir, of all the gross mis statements this takes the cake. " Vigilant" . has evidenty as much knowledge of the world as a two year old child. T am in clined to think it must be a woman writing, whose existence is chiefly centred in keep ing her parlour clean, and therefore knov/s nothing of the shady side of life.. In the first pluoe, every man of the world knows that the born gambler is no drinker; in nine cases out of ten, he is the most. ab stemious man you could meet, as drinking and successful gambling will not run in double harness. Then, again, the same implies to impurity. The greatest rake is the most careful liver, and it is a well-known fact that some of the most sensual men are among the teetotal community. Trust ing that the next time " Vigilant " rushes into print, he or she may have a better knowledge of what they are writing about. —I am, etc., No Dreamer.

Election News.

Mr W; Brock met the electors at Wester field School on Monday evening. Mr T, Stone was voted to the chair. The candi date had a hearty reception, and his views were well received. A number of ques tions were put and answered evidently satisfactorily. On the motion of Mr T, Pitt, seconded by Mr E. Wilson, a hearty vote of thanks was accorded to Mr Brock. The Chairman in conveying the vote, congratulated the candidate on the manner in which he had dealt with such subjects as the land tenure, the old age pensions, and the education question. A vote of thanks to the chair brought the meeting to a close.

Mr John Studholme inr., addressed the electors at Seafield on Tuesday evening, to a large and representative gathering of between 40 and 50 ladies and gentlemen. Mr J. Bruce occupied the chair, and the speech was received with frequent applause. At its conclusion, a number of questions were put and answered, and on the motion of Mr Allington, seconded by Mr Blunden, a hearty vote of thanks was carried by ac clamation.

Mr John Studholme, jnr., addressed the ©lectors at Wakanui last evening, in the schoolroom, some sixty ladies and gentle men being present. Mr D. Doak occupied the chair. The speaker's remarks were received with applause, and at the conclu-^ eion, after questions had been put and answered, Mr Frampton proposed and Mr Coe seconded, a hearty vote of thanks which was carried amidst great applause.

Mr John McLachlan addressed a well attended meeting of elect®rß in the Tinwald Hall on Tuesday evening. Mr Charles Doherty presided. Mr McLachlan was attentively listened to, and on concluding, was heartily applauded. Seper.il questions were asked and satisfactorily answered. On the motion of Messrs Clark and Meharry, the speaker received a vote of thanks. The meeting terminated with a vote of thanks to the chair.

Mr John McLachlan addressed a large attendance of electors at Winslow last evening. A good number of ladies were present, and Mr W. Hopwood (chairman of the school committee) presided. Mr Mc- Lachlan was attentively listened to, and on concluding' %as nearfcily applauded. Among the questions asked was one, dealing with farm labourers' cottages,as advocated by Mr Studholme. Mr. McLachlan pointed out that at the present time any landowner $rho so desired, could, independently of the Government, establish such homes himself. Mr Studholme's pamphlet was simply an attempt to hoodwink thß electors. What would be the condition of the workers under Mr Studholme's scheme—if it is his scheme? They would become simply tenants with the right of purchase. They could purchase the freehold and redeem the advances made by the Government, and either then or at some future time the oc cupants or owners of these properties £0 acquired would be at the mercy of the ad joining landholder, and the unfortunate workers would either have to submit to such terms as the landholder offered them or throw up their cottages. On the motion of Messrs Thompson and White, Mr McLa chlan was accorded a hearty vote of thanks, The usual vote of thanks to the chair con cluded the meeting.

THE PREMIER.

VISIT TO ASHBUETON.

The Right Hon. R. ,T. Seddon arrived from Tiraaru this morning by the 10.30 tram, and was met at the station by His Worship the Mayor and Mr McLaehlan, M.H.K. There were also on the platform ' Crs Davis and Aloorn, and Messrs Main waring (Clerk of the County Council), IT. H. Fooks (Town Cl«rk), J. Ivess, E. S. Bean, .J. Studholtne, junr, John Orr, and others. After chatting awhile with a few friends the Premier was escorted to the Commercial

i Hotel. After a brief st»y the Kight Hon. ' gentleman was driven through Ihe Domain, accompanied by the Mayor, Mr McLachlau, Crs? Jones and Davis, and Mr R. S. Bean. The Premier expressed himself as highly delighted with the beauties of our pleasure grounds. From here the party proceeded to the Hospital, where they were met by Dr Trevor and Miss Mac Andrew, the matron, who showed the way through the building. It may here be remarked that the Premier renewed an old acquaintance in Miss Mac Andrew, who was for sometime matron of the Kumara Hospital on the West Coast. The P emier talked fluently of old times, and then went through the in stitution. Being a gentleman of extremely kindly nature Mr Seddon had a cheery word to say to the patients whom he visited in the different wards. Notwithstanding that some of them were in a very bad i=tate of health, the jokes of the Premier drew forth a smile from each one spoken to. Dr j Trevor and the matron afterwards es corted the party over that part of the building which is now undergoing altera tion and addition. Mr Seddon considered that the institution was, to all appearances, an up-to-date one in many respects, and was not slow to bestow praise on those who were responsible for its management. AT THE OLD MEN'S HOJEK. From the Hospital, the Premier was driven to the Old Men's Home, whero he was met by Mr and Mrs Morrissey and Cr. Andrews. At the very commencement of his tour through the new buildings Mr Seddon remarked on its suitability to the circumstances for which the building was erected- " You have a splendid building, , with all the conveniences you require," he I Eaid. Passing through the dormitories the Premier spoke to each inmate, shaking them I by the hand, and condoling with them in { their affliction. When he entered the dining room, he was greeted with three hearty cheers by the inmates at dinner. In acknowledging the compliment the Premier said.—l thank you very heartily. In all my public experience I always like to hear cheers of the kind given under such circumstances. (Hear, hear.) lam glad to be here with you to-day, and to go through your fine buildings. lam pleased that you have such a fine home for you in your declining years. In the other room I saw photos of the generals, who you know are spoken of as the Empire builders. When we speak of these men as the Empire builders, we must net forget that you are pioneers—the builders of thi3 colony (hear, hear), of whom I see many in this room. I find New Zealand spokon well of everywhere in my travels, and in the development of this country which we are constantly prais ing up, we must not forget that the old cettj.ers played a most important part in it. God save the King wns then sung, the Premier joining in heartily. AT THE CLUB. This Premier, during his drive round the town, visited the Club, and was received by the manager and several of the members. After he had been conducted over the institution, Mr T. B. Upton, in a few well? chosen words, proposed the health of the Premier, which was enthusiastically re ceived.

In reply, Mr Seddon bestowed great praise on the managemer.t of the Club, and the institution was well-appointed in every respect. He strongly approved of the library and trusted it would be extended as it was a benefit to all concerned to have sjjch a library. He thanked them for their hospitality. Applause.)

After his visit to the Club, the Premier patronised the photographic studio of Mr J. T. Mitchell, Burnett street, where Mr Mitchell succeeded in taking an excellent likeness of his distinguished visitor. THE LUNCHEON. A luncheon was provided afc the Commer cial Hotel, when the toasts of " The King," " The Premier," and " The Borough Couu eil" were duly honoured, after which the Premier was driven round the town again. AT THE STATION. A large crowd assembled at the Railway Station this afternoon to bid farewell to the Premier. As the train drew out of the station, three hearty cheers were given for Mr Secidon, who briefly responded from the carriage platform, saying that be hud a ten der spot in his heart for Ashburton, where he had always received a most cordial wel come. Cheers were also given for Mr Mc- Lachlan.
