GENERAL ELECTION
TEST OF PUBLIC OPINION GALLUP POLL IN AUCKLAND (P.A.) AUCKLAND, Apl. 29. The New Zealand Freedom Association is taking a poll of the community on the Gallup principle regarding a postponement of the general election. Voting papers are being issued to some thousands of Aucklanders, who are asked to vote on three questions: Whether an election should be held this year; whether it should be postponed till next year; or whether a National Government, representing all parties, should be formed. Mr R. M. Algie, director of the association, in a circular letter accompanying the ballot papers, says the survey is being conducted as far as possible on scientific lines, and asks: “ Can we expect public opinion to be vigorous and effective if the people generally have no means of saying just what they think on this major question? ”
