Election of Provincial Councils LABOUR BUFFER* IN RURAE AREA*. MINISTERS TAKE PARK I [By Cable-Press Atsa.-Copyr:ghL) (Received 18, 11.16 a.m.) Capetown, Feb. 17. The election of provincial councils which is being fought on the same voters’ roll as per the Assembly elections, is progressing and, while the duel between the Nationalists and the South African Party in the rural areas shows no decisive trend. Labourites suffered severely, losing 10 seats to the, South African party, and being practically wiped out in Natal, while a number of so-called Independents, who gentrally supported the Government, lost their seats. On the whole the present position has been maintained in rural constituencies. but urban centres, where Labour is naturally strongest, show a definite set against the Government with the exception of ‘Witwatersrand. On the whole the voters appeared apathetic. A feature of the campaign has been the unusual appearance of Cabinet Ministers in the fray, showing the importance attached to the result by the Government.—(A. and N.Z.)
