ELECTION LESSONS.
TO THE EDITOI!. Sir, —Prior to nominations, you published my letter eomrncAting upon the Citizens’ Association selecting a ticket before the nominations closed. As I pointed out, this action has resulted in
the return of ft well-selected Labour majority through freedom from votesplitting. Several of the names selected by the Citizens’ Association wore unknown-., to the great hulk of the electors, especially in public and nuinici pal work, while I heard freely mentioned such names as Messrs Douglas, fi>incock, Hitchie. Hurt. Wilson, ami Moss as probable candidates. Were these gentlemen approached or considered by this association Y Messrs Dougins, Moss, and Wilson were nominated as independents. Eventually Mr Douglas withdrew, otherwise the selection would probably have been extinguished. I venture to suggest that had Messrs Douglas and Wilson* been included in the selection, a safe and satisfactory working council would have been returned, considering the showing of Mr Wilson’s personal votes, and tlio disadvantage he was faced with.—l am, etc., EmmtoH. .May 11.
