GENERAL
MID-CANTERBURY SEAT,
MR. D. JONES OFFICIAL REFORM CANDIDATE.
The following announcement has been made by the Prime Minister in regard to the Reform candidate for the Mid-Canterbury seat at the General Election: — "I have received advice from the Hon. Mr Nosworthy that he does not now intend to contest the seat, and consequently the arrangement made previously between Mr Nosworthy and Mr D. Jones, M.P., will stand. The latter will, therefore, be the official Reform candidate. '' In view of Mr Nosworthy's long period of service, both to the district and to the Dominion, I feel sure that the intimation of his retirement from the active political arena will be received with regret by his many friends. This regret, I need hardly say, is shared by myself and my other colleagues in the Government. I may point out, however, that a very large portion of the Ellesmere electorate has been included in the new Mid-Canterbury district and that in the present member for Ellesmere the electors of Mid-Can-terbury will have as the Government candidate a man who would, by his wide public experience, worthily represent them in Parliament." LABOUR CANDIDATE. Mr Morgan Williams, farmer, of Kaiapoi, is announced as the Labour candidate, for the Mid-Canterbury seat.
