OUR VOTE

Each day Election Day draws nearer when we will make known our idea as to who should be our spokesmen in Parliament, and also in some districts some will be declaring their minds as to whether to permit the drinking of alcohol or not. It has been revealed now that four of our Maori Councils have asked the Governor to give them the chance to vote. Of these, three are from the Tai Rawhiti and one from the Tai Tokerau: they are Takitimu, Horouta, Te Arawa, and Te Wairoa.

TYPHOID FEVER.

This illness, typhoid fever, has greatly afflicted many this year, Maori and Pakeha, but predominantly Maori. This illness struck Tokomaru where the grandchildren of Wiremu Potae contracted it. A Pakeha nursed them. When they recovered, the Pakeha contracted it and died. We praise the work of that person.
