BackgroundThe by-election was triggered because of the death of sitting member of parliament Richard Turnbull.{{sfn|Hall-Jones|1969|p=24}} The election saw William Hall-Jones win the seat over his main opponent, Edward George Kerr. Kerr had contested the {{NZ election link|1887}} against Turnbull,[1] and was the proprietor of The Timaru Herald. Hall-Jones had initially refused nomination citing crucial upcoming business interests. However, several locals persisted and Hall-Jones eventually accepted.{{sfn|Hall-Jones|1969|p=24}} Hall-Jones, Kerr and W F Alpin were nominated, and after a show of hands went in favour of Hall-Jones a poll was demanded by the supporters of Kerr and Alpin.
