He was elected to represent Auckland Central in Parliament in 1919, and has held the seat continuously since that year. Mr. Parry has fought strenuously for 20 years on behalf of the workers, both outside and inside of Parliament, and at a time when His Majesty’s Opposition was not the force in politics that it is to-day.
