Notes: Advertising in the Bathurst Times by both Carmichael and Paul indicated they had withdrawn from the contest and urged supporters to vote for the endorsed Free Trade candidate Thompson. The DT listed Carmichael as an Opposition candidate 27 July. Both are shown here as Independent Free Trade candidates. Todd and Foster received no affiliation in the SMH at any stage, though the DT listed them as Ministerial candidates 27 July.
