AN ELECTOR.

TO TIIE ELECTORS

OF
EAST WORCESTERSHIRE.

BROTHER ELECTORS,
Ihave been induced by a large and influential
body of Electors to offer myself as a CANDIDATE
for the Seat rendered vacant by the elevation of Mr.
Calthorpe to the Peerage.
I solicit your Suffrages on Independent principles,
consistent with a firm support of the Church, as estab-
lished in these Realms.

A Friend of the Farmer, I am for the representation
of the Ratepayers in the levying of County Rates and
the disposal of them. I am for every measure calculated
to diminish Local Burdens, and for a more equitable
apportionment of them.
Recent agitation with regard to the New Highway Act
prompts me to add that, from practical experience as
Chairmaa of a Local Ilighway Board, I have come to
the conclusion that very considerable amendments are
required ; and I shall be found ready to assist in
promoting any change that may offer a fairer and more
efficient system of Highway Administration.
Should you do in. the honour to elect me, you may rely
up in my active ell; irts in your interest locally and
generally.
Representing the opinions of those who are for retain-
ing the principle of a State Church in the Canstitit-
tion, I may fairly look for the earnest support of the
moderate ash thoughtful men of all parties.
I have the honour to be, Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,
W. LASLETT.
