Stuff re East Perth state by-election, 1936
 * 6/3/36:340 James Kenneally (minister in Second Collier Ministry) appealed Thomas Hughes' election as Hughes was undischarged bankrupt from 14/1/36 - 25/2/36 (election was on 15/2/36 - see Western Australian state election, 1936)
 * 7/3/36:371 Felix Hughes (his brother, who ran as an independent - see Western Argus 18/2/36 p.21), files similarly. Western Mail (19/3/36 p24) makes it clearer that this petition was lodged (with T.J.'s support) primarily to ensure Felix's election on T.J.'s preferences if he was removed from the ballot.

(Trove's great on this one.)
