Talk:Candidates of the 1903 Australian federal election

Northern Melbourne - Samuel Painter
Copying and adding a little to my comments at the 1906 talk page: "a Protectionist up to the hilt", "the Labor Party have nothing whatever to do with Mr. Painter's candidature", he calls himself protectionist in this article and clashes with a Labour heckler. Some of the newspapers designate him as a free trader in their election results tables, just to make life harder than it needs to be.... In any case, I'm confident that Hughes and Graham (who call him Labour) have this one wrong. I've changed him to Independent; perhaps Ind Prot would be better.

 * In view of that first article, I'd go with Ind Prot. Frickeg (talk) 00:22, 7 March 2015 (UTC)
