N.Z. POLITICS
LABOUR CANDIDATES. (Per Press Association.) . . HAMILTON, April 21. That the Labour Party committees all over New Zealand should imfriediately select their prospective candidates and open campaign funds, was the advice given by Mr. H. E. Holland, M.P., Leadei* of the Labour Party, at a complimentary social tendered here last night to Mr. F. W. Schramm, the Labour candidate foi* Hamilton at the last election. In giving this advise, Mr. Holland said that this did not mean the Labour Party contemplated using its balance of power to precipitate an election. It simply meant that Labour should be ready if an election came at short notice. The present position of the parties an the House, he said, was unsatisfactory. No one could say in any month what the next month would bring forth. Emphasising that in many electorates last November, Labour was unprepared, Mr. Holland announced that in future, under ordinary circumstances, if the local organisations failed to/nominate .candidates by the end of June in the election year, the National Executive would have power to do so, if it thought it desirable.
