He left the Labor Party over conscription in 1916, but unlike many of his cabinet colleagues, did not join the Nationalists. Corrections: Griffiths was nominated as a joint candidate for both the UAP and the Country Party, and has been listed as a joint candidate in line with Hughes and Graham (1975).
