Notes: Sitting MP JM Chanter had been elected MHR for Riverina at the first Commonwealth election in March. The SMH classified all candidates as Independents. The classifications adopted here are based on Daily Telegraph results, 4 July pp.6-7. In particular, Evans was classified as an elected supporter of the Ministry, 4 July p.7 col.1, but he was not in the list of successful selected Ministerial candidates published on the same page.
