NATIONAL PARTY
EARLY ELECTION PLANS
[per press association.]
/ WELLINGTON, December 9.
■ The need for men of sound beliefs and high integrity to assist in the governing of the country was stressed by Colonel C. H. Weston, D. 5.0., Dominion president of the National Party, in a statement in which he urged that such men should consent to offer themselves for service in Parliament and public life when asked to do so. The next election in. New Zealand was close at hand, and the time had come for the selection of candidates to stand in the 'interests of the National Party. It was only fair to candidates and to the party that selections in electorates should be made in the near future. There was a tendency for men who Were eminently suited to public life to withhold their consent, and leave the burden of responsibility to others, perhaps less qualified than themselves. GISBORNE CANDIDATES GISBORNE, Dec. 10. The foriher Member for Gisborne, Mr. W. D. Lysnar, intends to contest the seat at the next election, as an Independent Nationalist. The Nationalist Party is strongly organised in the electorate, and is expected to nominate its own candidate. For the Bay of Plenty electorate, Mr. J. T. Merry has already announced himself as an Independent Nationalist. Mr. H. J. F. Tombleson, a prominent local body member, has intimated his willingness to allow his name to go into the official Nationalist ballot, and it is expected that other nominees will be forthcoming.
