THE CHRISTCHURCH ELECTION.
The result of the Christclmreh North election does, not come as . a surprise. Most .people expected to see Mr Isitt returned, but few thought that his opponent would poll so well. Very little political significance can be attached to the election-, except it be the smallness of the poll. With a larger electoral roll than at the 1908 election, over five hundred fewer votes were polled than when the late Mr Taylor was returned. This and the fact that Mr Isitt's majority is not half as large as that recorded by his predecessor, would indicate .that a large number of working men refrained from voting. Considering the elements which were working against Mm, Mr J. D. Hall, did remarkably well in polling 3106 votes.
