M'Lennan, -who have been anounced as candidates, have pledged themselves to allow the Auckland Executive of the Reform Party to arbitrate between them, and to abide by the result. It was reported this evening that Mr." J. S. Montgomerie, of Mangere, had been selected as the official Labour candidate.
