Rural uiuridi Couiioii Election. J TO THE ELECTORS OF PONKEY WARD T ii' i At the earnest request of the Hafod Miners I and a large and influential number of Electors in the above Ward, I beg to offer myself as a Labour Candidate in the forthcoming Election. For the last three years I have endeavoured to serve you honestly and faithfully, and to the best of my abilities have at all times safeguard- ed your interests, which are identical with my own as a working man and ratepayer. The experience I have gained as a Guardian prove to me that we cannot afford to leave our aged poor without a representative in full sym- pathy with them, and I can assure you that nothing will be wanting on my part, if elected, neither in sympathy or effort and sacrifice to ensure to them their just claims. Should you again honour me by electing me as your representative, you may rest assured that no sacrifice will be spared in fighting your cause, and in doing everything possible for the welfare of the neighbourhood. I am, Your obedient Servant, DAVID DA VIES. Glasgow House, Rhos. March, 1910.

I now come to ask you to favour me with a renewal of the same for the next three years.

Rural District Council Election. TO THE ELECTORS OF RHOS WARD. LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, At the request of the Hafod Miners' Lodge, and a large number of other rate- payers I have consented to become a Labour Candidate for the representation of the Rhos Ward, on the above Council. During the time I have been a member of the Parish Council I have taken an active part in bringing pressure, to bear upon the District Council, to take over and to repair many of our old streets in the Parish. No fewer than twenty five of these streets have been adopted by the District Council, In the immediate future the improvement of other streets, and other important matters, will have to be considered by the District Council. I greatly regret that our rates are exceedingly heavy. It will be my con- stant endeavour to have the expenditure curtailed as much as possible, and the Electors may rely upon me to do all in my power to look after the interest of the Parish. District Councillors are also represent- atives, of the Parish on the Board of Guardians, and as such have important duties to discharge, in granting parish relief to the aged and to poor persons. If I am elected, I promise to serve the Parish faithfully, and to the best of my ability, will see that the poor are treated with consideration, and with uniform fair- ness, without respect to creed or politics. I remain, j, Your obedient servant, SAMUEL ROBERTS. Hope street, Rhos. March 26th, 1910.
