He was listed as an Independent Labor candidate in the Australian Workman, the party label adopted here. Wood had not been listed in Worker by 7 July. Other candidates have been listed in line with general listings in newspapers, though Stiles is shown as an Independent as newspapers disagreed on whether he was a Free Trade or Protection.
