SOUTH AFRICAN ELECTIONS.
CAPETOWN, January 16. The nominations in connection with the impending general elections resulted in 13 members being returned unopposed, including 10 of the new South African Party candidates, of whom one was formerly Labour, one Independent, and four Unionists. Messrs Merriman and Hertzog had no opposition. Many three-cornered contests between the South African Party, the Nationalists, and Labour will be fought. Mr Hertzog, replying to a question at a campaign meeting as to whether Opposition leaders should attend the Imperial Conference, declared that if invited he would attend out of courtesy, but would not participate in the deliberations. The Nationalists had nothing to do with Imperial closer union, nor did they admit the right of such a conference to bind them.
