THREE-PARTY ELECTIONS.
ANTI-LABOUR PROPOSAL. CO-OPERATION SUGGESTED. [BY TELEGRAPH.—PR3SS ASSOCIATION.] WELLINGTON, Wednesday. Co-operation between the United and Reform Parties in selecting candidates to contest Parliamentary elections was advocated at a meeting of the committee of tho Now Zealand Political Association. Reference was made to the 1928 general election, and it was stated that owing to the Reform and United Parties each nominating a candidate at least half a dozen seats were secured by Labour. After.discussion the following resolution was carried:—"That in view of futile contests in a number of constituencies at the last general election and at the recent Hutt by-election, when seatß were secured by Labour candidates owing to triangular contests, this association urges that the -two anti-Labour parties co-operate in the selection of candidates for such seats where it appears essential, and thus avoid a repetition of the results of previous elections." A copy of the resolution is to be sent to the Prime Minister and to the Leader of the Reform Party.
