SOUTH ISLAND

,ITH SUBSTANTIAL MAJORITY OF TOTAL VOTES THE GENERAL ELECTION RESULTS

(By Telegraph—Press Association.) WELLINGTON, This Day. The Labour Government was returned for a further term of office at the general election held throughout the Dominion on Saturday. A preliminary count of the votes polled shows that it will have 54 of the OU seats in the new House of Representatives, or one less than it possessed at the time of the dissolution or the last Parliament. Twenty-four seats were obtained by the National Party, which has therefore increased its preelection voting strength by five. Two Independents have been returned, one supporting the Labour Party and the other the National Party. A few seats are held by a narrow margin, and possibly may change hands when the count is completed. Sixty-two electorates returned their sitting members. The state of the parties as a result of Saturday’s poll and at the time of the dissolution is as follows: — P a rtv New Parliament. At Dissolution. Labour 54 55 National .... .... .... 24 19 L< . • Independents .... .... .... 2 6 ~ . ' Heavy polling took place in all electorates.
