STRATFORD AND BRUCE.
In all probability there will be two by elections in the Dominion before very long. That at Stratford will take place shortly, and the other will naturally follow at Bruce upon the resignation of Sir James Allen, which it is rumoured will take place almost immediately.upon his return from the Islands. ' In 'this connection, the Wellington Post remarks:-—"lt is understood that both Mr. Masters and Mr. Hine will again be candidates for Stratford. Both elections are bound to arouse considerable interest. In Stratford the result will be enlightening, as showing to some extent the' popular verdict upon the petition; while in both electorates the voting may indicate whether events since the general election and the temporary retirement of Sir Joseph Ward from the leadership of the Liberals have had any marked effect upon public opinion. Both contests were decided by the narrowest margins at the general election —in the case of Stratford Mr. Masters had a majority of 67, and in Bruce Sir James Allen's lead was 126—50 that only small factors may havo the effect of reversing the results of 1919."
