There is nothing I can say that will enable you to know more of me than you do now, as I am and have been personally known for many years to nearly all of you. As to what is to be done now, I say let us, as far as possible, manage our own affairs. Surely, we who know and are interested, can do so better than those who neither know nor care, and whose interests are often opposed to ours. If you see fit to elect me, my conduct will be the same in the future as it has been in the pafefe—an endeavour, as far as possible, to get unity of action among our Members; to reduce wasteful expenditure; to put power into the hands of the people, not to deprive them of It; and that all great questions should be submitted to them. * wait swakson .
