MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS
Labour and Wellington Mayoralty TWO NAMES MENTIONED It is practically certain that Labour will contest the Wellington Mayoralty at, the municipal elections which will take place on Wednesday, May 1. Although nominations have not yet closed it is expected that tire choice of Labour’s candidate will lie between Mr, R. Semple, M.P., and Mr. R. McKeen, M.l’. It is understood that Mr. I’. Fraser, M.l’., has not found it possible to agree to nomination on account of the heavy demands made upon him in his capacity as deputy-leader and secretary of the Parliamentary Labour Party.
Labour proposes to make.another strong bid for a majority on the City Council, Hospital Board and Harbour Board. Indications are that the Wellington Labour Representation Committee will require a ballot to select its candidates for the City Council, as there is expected to be some competition for the honour of representing Labour at the poll. Local communist organisations are reported also to be considering candidates for the City Council.
