Taylor who was the National Party’s candidate for the Lyttelton seat in the last General Election, has consented to nomination for the party’s selection ballot in the Lyttelton electorate this year. NOMINATION FOR BALLOT . WITHDRAWN Mr A. B. Grant, secretary of . the Canterbury Trades Council and secretary of the canterbury branch of the Amalgamated Society of Railway Servants, who has been nominated by various trade unions to stand for the selection ballot as a Labour candidate for either the Fendalton or Sydenham seats, has decided to withdraw his nomination. Mr Grant said yesterday that, while he appreciated the action of the unions concerned in nominating him, he did not intend to enter into the ballot for nominations, as his interests were centred in the industrial section of the Labour movement. While the workers for whom he was spokesman were prepared to continue to accept his services, he preferred to work in the industrial movement, he said.
