GENERAL ELECTION
PROBABLY AT BEGINNING OF NOVEMBER STATEMENT BY PREMIER (By Telegraph—Press Association). WELLINGTON, This Day. It is probable that the general election this year will take place about the beginning of November. The Prime Minister, the Rt Hon. M. J. Savage, stated in an interview on Saturday that he was still confident that the present session of Parliament would finish by the end of September, and thus leave approximately a month clear for the election campaign. “Representations have been made to me by business people and by organisations of employees as well as employers,” Mr Savage said, “and it has been emphasised that if the election takes place too near to Christmas it will have the effect of dislocating trade to a certain extent. There seems no reason why the present Parliamentary session should not be finished by the end of September, as ! I estimated earlier, and I think the election should be held as early as possible after that. It will probably be about the end of October, or early in November, probably the latter.”
