Delegates from every branch were present and Mr D. H.

Each nominee was allowed 15 minutes in which to address the meeting, and Mr Oram proved the successful candidate. Mr Oram assured the members that he would do all in his power to further the party interests and if elected would endeavour to prove that the confidence placed in him was well merited. He then introduced Mrs Oram to the delegates. V t Reference was made by Mr Mcllroy to the retiring member, Hon. J. G. Cobbe, who, he said, had rendered wonderful service over a great number of years and was leaving a splendid record behind him.
