VICTORY FOR LABOR.
DUNEDIN NORTH BY-ELECTION. A SMALL MAJORITY. By Telegraph.—Press Association. Dunedin, Last Night. The by-election to fill the vacancy in the Dunedin North seat, caused by the death of Mr. Edward Kellett, was held to-day in perfect weather, and resulted in the return of Mr. J. W. Munro, the official Labor candidate. The actual number on the roll was 11,687, of which 7568 voted to-day. At tiie general election in 1919, when Mr. Kellett won the seat, 8762 votes were polled, 478*4 for Mr. Kellett and 3978 for the official Labor candidate. Following are to-day’s results:— J. W. Munro (Official Labor) .... 3360 J. J. Clark (Independent Reform) 3*239 W. Begg (Liberal) 908 Majority for Munro 141 Seventy-seven absent voters’ permits have yet to be counted, and there are several declaratory votes. The result of the poll was received by over 1000, and when Mr. Munro appeared he was received with the greatest enthusiasm, the cheering lasting several minutes. Each of the candidates spoke, but their addresses were very short, and really confined to returning thanks. It is worthy of note that this is Mr. Munro’s sixth attempt to gain Parliamentary honors.
