A few days before his party was unseated from the Government, the Prime Minister, Mr Nash visited Nelson in the course of his political campaign. This could quite possibly be his last visit to Nelson as Prime Minister, for advancing years may induce him to hand over the leadership of his party at the next election. Here he is seen with harbour board members inspecting the reclamation. From left: Mr S. A. Whitehead, M. P. for Nelson, Mr M. H. McGlashen, chairman of the board, Mr Nash, Mr J. H. Brunt, Mr G. R. McKellar, Mr E. R. Black and Mr S. L. Thawley.
