j The Dominion, in an editorial note, says: The statement has been made that Mr H. E.. Combs, secretary of the Post and Telagraph Officers' Association, is Ito be a candidate of the Labour Party either for the Wellington East or the Wellington North seat at the forthcom- • ing Parliamentary elections. This state- • ment, we believe, is not correct. Mr ' Combs has not yet been selected whatever the future may hold for him. It • may be that he does not even wish to , stand for P^-liament, and that he has i no intention of permitting, him name to Ibe put forward. In Labour circles, I however, where he has been given much prominence of late, the question appears to have excited some interest more especially in viev,' of the delay which has taken place in the selection of the Wellington catK'.M;ito < P the party. The i impression nrwu-l--- -,t Mr Combs, who is an excr-:!?•■■.: speaker, may; be will in;-: to offer his services, and that I the delay in the choice of candidates has been due to .uncertainty as to his position. Under the rules of the Labour j Party, apparently, no candidate can be chosen to represent the party who has not been a member for six months. That' difficulty, however, may be got over by postponing the date for the selection It is now stated that the selection in the case of Wellington has been postponed from February last until June. If this . is correct it would be interesting to ' know the reason. As a rule the Labour Party makes a point of getting its can- j didates into the field as early as possible, and all over the Dominion announce- ! ments have been made of those selected. Why this backwardness in the Empire City? HAVE YOU A I/ARfJ^ HERD? Or have you just enough cows to keep you busy without help-. Ih either case, there's a "Domo" Separator in a size, and at a price to suit you. You will get years of service from the Domo —and it skims to .01 all the time. Details from Cooper and Duncnn, Ltd..
