Background
Scullin, then deputy-leader of the ALP, was elected as Charlton's successor. As was traditional, it was publicly reported that Scullin had been elected as leader unopposed. However, Ted Theodore and George Yates also reportedly contested the leadership ballot, with Scullin winning by "a substantial but undisclosed majority". [1]
In the election for deputy leader, Arthur Blakeley narrowly defeated Theodore for the position. Norman Makin was elected secretary of the party, to fill the vacancy caused by Blakeley's elevation to deputy leader. [2]
