The Political Fight

PARTIES AND CANDIDATES Keen Contests In North Seats THE list of candidates given below covers all electorates in the Dominion, and represents those, who are fighting their election battles on the hustings at the present moment. Although nominations have not closed, it is improbable that the list will alter materially, for most of the aspirants to the various seats have already announced their candidature.

It is notable that competition in the Auckland constituencies is particularly keen, and in some electorates there are lour condidates representing a quartette of' political factions. Sitting members are marked* It will be noted that one new urban electorate has been created In the North Island. This was first called “Auckland South’’ but subsequently altered to “Eden,” the old Eden electorate slightly altered being called “Auckland Suburbs." The Ohinemuri electorate was eliminated, and a new electorate, named “Hauraki” substituted for iL In the South Island the Ashburton ele. iorate is done away with, and Ellesmere also dispensed with, the name "Mid-Canterbury” being substituted for. that particular locality. “Central Otago” is the name given to the electorate which hitherto was Wakatipu.
