Resignation

In March 1930, Jenkins left the United Party and announced that he believed that the Reform Party leader, Gordon Coates, was "the ablest man in Parliament".^[2] He subsequently resigned his seat and then sought the Reform nomination in the by-election. Instead, Reform selected William Phillips Endean as its candidate. Endean won the by-election on 7 May 1930.^[3]
