WAITEMATA SEAT
MR. DOUGLAS TO STAND
DEMOCRATIC LABOUR
(By Telegraph.—Parliamentary Reporter.)
WELLINGTON, this day. The national executive of the Democratic Labour Party has unanimously selected Mr. Norman Douglas, of Auckland, to contest the Waitemata seat, rendered vacant by the death in action of Captain W J. Lyon.
Mr. Douglas is a young man, and lost his left arm in an accident at the age of 17 years. He is married to a daughter of Mr. W. T. Anderton, Government member for Eden. Mr. Douglas helped to form the Democratic Labour party, and for one term, at the age of 25, was a member of the Auckland City Council. He was president of the Grey Lynn branch of the Labour party, but retired when Mr. Lee was expelled at the 1939 Labour Conference.
