VICTORY FOR LABOUR

The general elections hold throughout Now Zealand on Saturday resulted in another sweeping victory tor the Labour Party. The Government .won (j 4 seats, the Nationalists 24 seats ami the Independents only 2. Labour lost 1. seat, while the Nationalists gained 5 and Independents lost 4. So close was the contest in the Hay of Plenty, that supporters of the two parties showed only passing interest in outside returns. As the returns came in both candidates had a, very trying experience as fortunes fluctuated. .Early in the contest Mr. Sullivan secured the lead only to lost' it to the Government candidate, Mr. Hultquist. The National candidate later secured a lead of 102 and the hopes of the National candidate's supporters appeared to he/ very bright. With only a lew returns to come the Labour candidate secured good majorities from a number of booths and on a check-up ol; the ttfiiires. of tlie remaining; booths at the previous election, it appeared obvious that Mr. Hultquist was going to secure the lead and this proved to be the ease as his lead increased to HU and then after a lengthy wait while efforts were being made to secure the Matawhero returns, the figures came to hand shortly before midnight, giving the Labour candidate an additional lead of .30 votes. With only one small return to come Mr. Hultquist was 101. in the lead and the final return gave the figures as follows: —

A. G. Hultquist 4(iof> ■■ W. Sullivan 4508 Approximately (300 postal votes still remain to be counted in the .Bay ol . Plenty. With the exception of the delayed Ala.tawhcro return, everything went smoothly at the office ol the returning officer, Ml. A. EL Johnson, who is to congratulated on the excellent organisation of ’Em* Play ol Plenty headquarters. The ~)potiki News” is also ■indebted to the returning officer for the manner in which results were made immediately available to the press.

Right from the start of polling in tho Opotiki borough the two polling booths had a Imsy time and a record vote was recorded.;. If- was only late in the afternoon when the pressure eased off as most electors had by that time recorded their votes and voting iia s not particularly heavy shortly belore closing time.

As scon as the return from Matauliero liacl been received, a crowd gathered in front of tin* Masonic lintel, and later both candidates made their appearance on the balcony.
