N.Z. LABOUR CANDIDATES

SELECTION URGED In View of Possibilities (Per Press Association). HAMILTON, April 21. That the Labour Party committees all over New Zealand should immedi ately select their prospective eandi dates and open campaign funds, was the advice given by Mr H. E. Holland, Leader of the Labour Party, at a complimentary social tendered here last right to Mr F. W. Schramm, the Lab our candidate for Hamilton at last election. In giving this advice, Mr Holland said that this did not mean that fh.l Labour Party contemplated using its balance of power to precipitate an elee tion. It simply meant that Laboui should be ready if an election came at short notice. The present position of the Parties in the House, he said, was unsatisfactory. one s al 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 fail ed to nominate candidates by the end of June in the election year, the National Executive would have power to do so, if they thought it desirable.
