THE AUCKLAND SEAT .
[Per Press Association.! AUCKLAND. July 17. At a meeting of the Central Council the following telegram waa read from the Hon W. Jennings and Messrs D. Pinkerton, E. M. Smith, A. Thompson, J, A. Millar and W. W. Collins, M.H.R.’s" We strongly urge on members of the Central Council to agree to support Mr T, Thomson. His return to the House is desired by the Government, otherwise they will be placed in a false .position, but this is through the labour organisations at Auckland, for it was the Minister of Labour when at Auckland who publicly announced that in case of a bye-election Mr Thompson would be the Government candidate. To this no exception was taken at the time or since. Don’t let dissensions creep in and thereby allcw the opponents of the Government to secure a victory. Members of the Council should individually remember the great responsibility cast upon them in this extremely urgent case. They should remember that the defeat of the ■ Government will have a prejudicial effect, not alone now, but at the general election,' therefore we .-again urge unity in this matter, and ask the Council to remember that by keeping our rants close we" can win this election and ensure a future victory.”
