BULLER BY-ELECTION.
LABOUR DIVIDED
“I do not think there will lie any unofficial Labour candidate for the Bailer seat,” said the Leader of the Opposition, Mr M. J. Savage, last evening, when a report that a section of miners had decided to nominate Mr A. McLagan in opposition to Mr P. C. Webb was referred to him. “If such a candidate does come forward, be will not cut much ice. He 'will not affect the result,” said Mr Savage. “Everywhere the miners have been noted for their loyalty to the official Labour movement.”
He quoted the result of the Bulli by-election in Australia, as an illustration that even a very powerful candidate individually could not hope to defeat the man who had the official support of the party.
