SEEKING CANDIDATES FOR ELECTION
APPEAL BY PRESIDENT OF NATIONAL PARTY (United Press Association) WELLINGTON, December 8. The need for men of sound beliefs and high integrity to assist in the governing of the country was emphasized by Mr C. H. Weston, Dominion president of the National Party, in a statement tonight in which he urged that such men should consent to offer themselves for service in Parliament and public life when asked to do so. The next election in New Zealand was close at hand and the time had come for the selection of candidates to stand in the interests of the National Party. It was only fair to the candidate and to the party that selections in electorates should be made in the near future. There was a tendency for men who were eminently suited to public life to withhold their consent and leave the burden of responsibility to others, perhaps less qualified than themselves.
