NEW LABOUR PARTY.
NOT CONTESTING BY-ELECTION. Per Press Association. WELLINGTON, April 30. The Democratic Labour Party does not propose to enter a candidate for the Auckland West by-election, according to Mr J. A. Lee “Before we contest a 6eat we shall have adequate preparation, organisation, and funds,” lie said. Mr Lee added that they aimed at getting the basis of a North Island organisation together before, the session. “Temporarily we must leave the official selected ‘yes man’ alone. Obviously,, powerfully centralised control is accompanied by deterioration in the quality, of the candidates,” Mr Lee went on. “Cabinet wants rabbits.”
