Bloodworth, the Labor candidate, will address meetings in Remuera. Mr. W. P. Endean, the Reform candidate, will open his campaign at Remuera on Wednesday evening. As the election will take place on May 7, the candidates will have three .tveeks within which to address the Electors, but the Easter holidays and Anzac Day will intervene, so that for practical purposes not more a dozen evening meetings will be addressed by each candidate.
