Notes: Millard was the sitting MP for the abolished seat of The Clyde. Sitting Bega MP W.H.Wood contested St George. Bland was listed by the city papers as a Country Party Association candidate, as he was initially in the Farmer and Settler. However, by the 5 December issue of Farmer and Settler, the number of Country Party candidates had been reduced from 11 to 9, and Bland had been re-classified as an Independent. He is listed here as an Independent, where Hughes and Graham (1975) listed him as Country Party.
