BAY OF PLENTY SEAT
TO BE CONTESTED. BY NATIONAL PARTY. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) GISBORNE, November 11. The Leader of the Opposition, Mr Holland, announced today that the National Party would contest the Bay of Plenty seat rendered vacant by the death of Lieutenant A. G. Hultquist. Mr Holland said that in two previous by-elections, necessitated by the deaths of the sitting Labour members, the National Party, in a desire to avoid dividing the people in war time, had not nomanited candidates, but Independents came forward and forced an election in Waipawa, formerly held by a Nationalist. The Government forced a by-election by running an official Labour candidate. “Past experience has shown,” said Mr Holland, “that when these unfortunate vacancies occur, by-elections cannot be avoided, and in the circumstances the National Party feel that the Bay of Plenty vacancy should be contested in the ordinary way.”
