EDEN BY ELECTION.
Wfellinglon, Last Night. ' A report from Auckland states that Miss Melville, at Henderson on Monday night, declared she was offered £l5O a year for three years and a safe seat not to stand for Eden. She felt free to say this, because Mr. Davy, the Reform organiser, bad already done so. Mr. Coates stated to-day that he knew nothing whatever about it. The Reform Party would deprecate any such practice. At no time had any body been authorised to approach any candidates to induce them to retire from a contest. Anything in the nature of a financial inducement to affect a candidate s action was abhorrent to the party and once a candidate was selected by delegates, the party executive took no further action. Mr. H, E. Holland, Leader of the Labour Party, leaves for Auckland in a few days to 1 take part in the campaign.
