THE NATIONAL PARTY

CHOICE OF CANDIDATES FOR PARLIAMENT

LIST OF NOMINATIONS

TO DATE

Rapid progress is being made by the National Party in its organisation for the parliamentary elections this year. Already it has been able to announce the selection of candidates for 33 of the 80 seats that will be contested, and it is probable that by the end of April the great majority of its candidates will have been chosen. In all districts vigorous efforts are being 'made to build the strongest possible organisation, so that the chosen candidates may be assured of solid support. Candidates who have been chosen for 33 seats are named in the following list. The names of the sitting Nationalist members are followed by an asterisk, and those of former members of Parliament who are candidates this year by a double asterisk. Where the sitting member belongs to another party, the name is given in brackets after that of *the Nationalist candidate. The list is as follows: — Awarua: Mr J. Hargest.* Bay of Plenty: Mr W.
