1 At the 12 May 1934 elections, James George, a fellow Nationalist candidate, won the Metropolitan Province seat from incumbent member James Franklin on Labor preferences (both candidates got 1,991 primary votes). Upon a petition to the Court of Disputed Returns, Franklin was declared elected on 21 November 1934 without a by-election.
