BY-ELECTION PREDICTED.
The last number oi the New Zea’and Tablet has the following : —“We have excellent authority for saying that it is practically cerlain that the Hon. J. A. Millar will resign his seat in the near future, and that there will be a by-election in Dunediu West iu February or Match. It is understood that there will be at least four candidates—a straightout Government candidate who is a resident in the electorate, a wellknown Labour leader who will staud in the Opposition interest, a United Labour party representative, prominent in church and prohibition circles, and a classconscious Socialist. We urge all Catholic voters iu the electorate to see that their names are on the roll, as the writ for a new election, in the case of a vacancy arising from resignation, has to be issued immediately after the Speaker receives notice of the vacancy. In the coming by-election there will be no second ballot, so that first past the post wins.’’
