LIST OF NOMINATIONS
SIMPLE ISSUE IN MOST ELECTORATES
Nominations for the General Election in the 76 European and 4 Maori seats closed at noon today. For this there are 176 candidates, compared with 265 for last election, 189 for the 1931 election, and 212 for the election of 1928. A feature of the election will be that in nearly all the electorates there is the straight-out issue—Labour or National. There is no large third party in the field as was the case in 1935, and nothing like the number of Independents or other candidates.
