BY-ELECTION
WAITEMATA CONTEST INDEPENDENT CANDIDATE The coming Waitemata by-election will be contested by an Independent anti-Socialist candidate in the person of Mr. P. R. Gardner, of Glorit, who has announced his intention to stand. A farmer, Mr. Gardner is a former member of the Whangarei Borough Council, the Whangarei Harbour Board and the Kamo Town Board. He is a director of a number of companies. During the last war Mr. Gardner served overseas for three years as a lieutenant in the 2nd Auckland Infantry Battalion. He was a member of the Whangarei Harbour Board for 12 years until the recent elections, when he did not seek re-election. The National Party has decided not to contest the by-election. The Labour party's candidate has not yet been announced, but Mr. N. V. Douglas, of Auckland, has been chosen as the representative of the Democratic Labour party. Mr. J. T. Head, secretary of the Waitemata Labour Representation Committee, states that the name of Major W. N. Pharazyn, of Wellington, did not come before the meeting of party representatives held last Thursday to discuss the coming Waitemata by-election.
