TIMARU SOCIALIST CANDIDATURE.
The following speaks for itself:— Dear Sir, —Your telegram to hand. asking for explanations why I am not nominated. One of my*.-nominees was late in arriving at the Clerk of the Court's office, and the result was that I was about half a minute late in getting my nomination paper signed. The Clerk of the Court refused to accept my nomination, and I am thrown out ©f the rftecti-oh bj* beiiig one minute after 12 noon on Monday., nomination, day in handing my nomination paper in. Both myself and-the party are sadly disappointed after all the electioneering -that I have done, but the jßotu-r-n-iiijg pffieer's word is final,; and we. teaiynot overrule hi,s decision • but, of cbuiWe, it is a lot of red tape bii tlie Returning Officer's part, and'we *re apparently, tied up.with it in New Zealand. -.....-. j sent a telegram to Comrade. Cook in Christchureh on Monday, and I thought he would send it on —that is why I did-not wire you. However, our.
watchword until next elections will be —Organise^; agitate, and educate, and keep the Red Flag flying. R. GOULD, Timaru Socialist Party.
