National Party excitement ends in political shakeup
A large Western Australia gathering on the National movement led to a pivotal vote shifting control from the public to legislative parties. Sir Walter James moved to place leadership in the Assembly, ousting the Nationalists as Vincent Wheatley and Lovekin floundered. Contending ministers face back seats if a National Party forms for wartime aims and agricultural expansion.
