DEPOSITS FORFEITED
BY 40 PER CENT OF CANDIDATES.
INCLUDING TWO IN MASTERTON. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) WELLINGTON, This Day. On the provisional results of the election 127 candidates, or 40 per cent of the number nominated throughout the Dominion, will forfeit their deposits of £lO, representing a gain to the Treasury of £1270. Deposits arc forfeited by those who obtain less than a quarter of the number of votes polled by the successful candidate. In the 1938 election, when the issue was virtually a straight-out contest, only eight candidates lost their deposits. In this election there were 13 different party and other affiliations, but, except for the two main parties, the majority of the candidates fared bad-
Of the 53 candidates nominated by the Democratic Labour Party, 52 will pay the forfeit, Mr J. A. Lee, the leader, being the only candidate to. poll sufficient votes to retain his deposit. In none of the European electorates will any candidate nominated by cither the Labour or National Parties lose his deposit. Those who lost their deposits included D. A. Thompson and Justin Power (Masterton) and R. E. Crawford and W. H. Smithson (Wairarapa).
