Holland, Leader of the Labour Party, in Greymouth on May 29th. 1918, when returning thanks for his elections to the Grey seat. 3ho Lyeloetion was rendered necessary hv the trial and committal to prison of Mr I>. C. Webb, Labour M.P., for his refusal to perform his military obligations after having been drawn in the military service ballot and called op. Mr Webb lost liis civil rights for 10 years, as an objector to military service, and that period will elapse at the beginning of December next. The date is too late for the General Election. Apparently, says a Wellington correspondent, Air Holland has now no intention of resigning the seat in favour of Mr Webb. National headquarters of the i.labour Party indicate that lie intends to stand for his old electorate and to hold the scat if it is non. If lie kept that promise of ten years ago it would mean that some other member of the Labour Party would have to step down and allow Mr Holland to occupy his seat in the House. And stern ns is the discipline In the Labour ranks, there appears to be no one willing to do this for bis Leader.
