WAITAKI SEAT.
TWO CANDIDATES ALREADY IN FIELD. Mr George Barclay, of Waihaorunga, has been selected as the official Labour candidate to contest the Waitaki seat at the nest election. His was the only nomination (says the Christchurch Press) and was unanimously approved at a meeting of the 'Waitaki Labour Party on Saturday night. Mr Barclay contested the Waitaki seat at the 1925 election as a Nationalist against the sitting Reform member. Mr John Bitohener, when he suffered defeat by 400 odd votes. Another Waimate resident, Mr M. J. Corrigan, intends to stand for Parliament at the next election, probably as an Independent. " I intend to stand against all-comers,” he said on Monday. “Nothing will stop me except bad health.” In answer to a question he said he had been requested to stand by several people. Mr Corrigan is well known throughout the district as a successful farmer, and at present is a member of the Waimate Borough _ Council and several other local organisations.
