MACQUARIE
SEAT
SYDNEY, June 22: It is
likely that the pre-selection
ballot for the Labour endorse
ment for the Macquarie seat
by-election will be confined to
local candidates. The State
executive of the Australian
Labour Party decided tonight
that a local selection ballot
would be held on July 7.
Already a large number of
leading Labour men in the
Bathurst and Lithgow districts
have announced that they will
contest the ballot.
Mr. R. C. Cotton, who stood
against Mr. Chifley as a Liberal
candidate at the last two Fede
ral elections, announced to
night that he would not be a
candidate this time.
