MOTUEKA ELECTION

Mr. Holyoake’s Candidacy APPEAL FOR SUPPORT Tasks of the Coalition Following upon the passing of a resolution by the Motueka committee of the United Party that it could not support the Coalition candidate in the Motueka by-election, Mr. H. J. Holyoake, because of the presence of an Independent in the field, an appeal for the support of Mr. Holyoake has been issued by the leaders of the Coalition, Rt. Hon. G. W. Forbes and Rt. Hon. J. G. Coates. In a message to Mr. Holyoake last evening, the leaders state: — “As joint leaders of the Coalition Party we can say that while much has been done te curtail expenditure and every effort made to bring our expenditure within revenue resources and to budget to balance the public accounts of the country, there is still much to be done. The present fall in level of commodity prices and particularly of primary commodities, renders the future even more difficult. “Many proposals and suggestions have been made, but there seems to he no easy way through the problems that confront us. The great and Increasing necessity for ensuring stability in our politics particularly at the present time leads us to call on the electors of Motueka to support the official Coalition candidate on polling day, and we therefore appeal to all our friends and supporters to endorse our selection and loyally and whole-heartedly to work for your return in support of the Government.”
