Mullens Likely Unopposed in Footscray Seat Race
The Footscray district including Sunshine appears to have no official opponent to J. M. Mullens MLA for the State election. Labor has held the seat for decades, with 1937 results showing Mullens ahead of Hanmer by a large margin as both were new candidates. Local booth results and Mullens’s community work strengthen his position.
