Luckie’s Wellington mayoral campaign committee yesterday asked him to proceed with his candidature in the forthcoming election. Mr Luckie recalled that he had pledged himself not to withdraw from the contest without consent of his committee; he was therefore obliged to refer to them, not only for advice, but because his course of action was to some extent in their hands. . The death occurred at Palmerston North yesterday of Mr William Benjamin Tooby, father of Mr E. Tooby, of Essex Street, Masterton, at the age of 83 years. Deceased formerly resided for many years in Masterton, where he was held in high esteem. In addition to Mr. E. Tooby, there are left Mrs. W. B.
