(By Telegrapii-
DUNEDIN, This Day. That the South Island country districts would lose an electorate and that Wellington would be given another seat was the prediction made by Mr Adam Hamilton, leader of the National Party last evening. He stated that the South Island might lose two electorates, one of which would go to Wellington suburbs. There was a continual drift to the cities and they must see that the population 's proportion and rewards were such that the rural population was maintained. It would be all right if the cities could usefully absorb the drift, but between 20,000 and 30,000 people were on relief.
