TO FIGHT LABOUR
CO-OPERATION AT ELECTIONS PROPOSED
UNITED AND REFORM Press Association WELLINGTON, Wednesday. Co-operation between the United and Reform Parties in selecting candidates to contest Parliamentary elections was advocated at a meeting of the committee of the New Zealand Political Association. Reference was made to the 1928 General Election, and it. was stated that owing to the Reform and United Parties each nominating a candidate at least half a dozen seats were secured by Labour. After discussion the following resolution was carried:—“That in view of futile contests in a number of constituencies at the last General Election and at the recent Hutt by-election, when seats were secured by Labour candidates owing to triangular contests, this association urges that the two anti-Labour parties co-operate in the selection of candidates for such seats where it appears essential, and thus avoid a repetition of the results of previous elections.” A copy of the resolution is to be sent to the Prime Minister and to the Leader of the Reform Party.
