Date Of General Election
[Special To “Northern Advocate ”]
WELLINGTON, This Day.
The Prime Minister, the Rt. Hon. M. J. Savage, stated on Saturday that it was probable that the General Election this year will be held at the end of October, or early in November. He said he was confident that the present session of Parliament would finish by the end of September, and thus leave approximately a month clear for the election campaign. '
“Representations have been made to me by business people and by organisations of employees, as well as employers,” Mr Savage said, “and it has been emphasised that if the election takes place too near Christmas it will have the effect of dislocating trade to a certain extent. There seems no reason why the present Parliamentary session should not be finished by the end of September, as I estimated earlier, and I think that the election should be held as early as possible after that.”
