Corrections: At the time of the 1944 election, sitting MP G.D.Mitchell was serving in the armed forces. In line with other parties, the Country Party refused to nominate candidates against service MPs, so the three Country Party candidates contesting this electorate did not receive party endorsment and are listed as Independent Country Party candidates. Note that Hughes and Graham (1975) list the three as official Country Party candidates.
