Notes: Sitting Labor MP J.W.Seiffert contested as an Independent Labor candidate. He was disendorsed by the Labor Party for failing to follow the correct voting ticket at a Legislative Council election. The Labor Party could not locate a candidate to run against Seiffert, which meant he did not break Labor Party rules in running against an endorsed candidate, allowing him to be re-admitted to the Labor caucus after the election.
