Citizens’ Association to succeed W. J. Mac-.

Kenzie, the best possible choice was made. Mr.
Affleck is most capable, he is keenly interested in
the welfare of the town and district and has al-
ways taken an active part in all public moye-
ments, Success should crown his effcrts.

officers and executive committee. They have
considerable work ahead of them and there never
has been a time when the town could be brought
favorably before the public as now, The retiring
president has been most active in the past and he
has accomplished a great deal of good. His efforts

were appreciated and he well merited the vote of.

ON. Price Ellison, ‘minister of ‘finance, has

resigned his seat and portfolio. This is the.

man who stocked his own farm with the fancy
stock which he helped buy for the provincial gov-
ernment farm. The government paid hundreds
of dollars for each animal and the honorable gen-

tleman bought them from the government. for
from $25 to $75 each. Of course this is not steal--

ing—just getting something fancy for a small
price. The government being hard up, the min-
ister of finance no doubt considered he was con-
ferring a favor on the public by ‘contributing a

few dollars from his salary to the public funds.

Now that Price Ellison is out of the government,
and the stock is off the farm, it is rumored that
the pcrtfolio of finance minister is to be. given to
the laughing-stock, Wm, Manson, M. P. P., for
Skeena, With Wm. Manson as finance minister

He is:
also supported by an active and capable Jot of:

there is ‘no doubt but that. a-number of those
stalwart commanders of his in Prince Rupert will
stock their farms with fancy. priced stock from
Wm. Manson’s new farm. However, Wm.’ Man-
son ‘has-to go before the people in less than a

‘month.: He may or may not be finance minister.

But Willie. has been a good boy.. He pretty near-

. re the announeernent of the: election for April

10th, McBride and: ‘Bowser establish’ a new
record: in short campaigns. ° : “They: have always
heen famous for short rung, but this attempt to
steal another term of power to complete the de-

‘vastation of the provinee. beats anything hitherto|

attempted. One month to prepare voters’ lists,
hold conventions and conduct a cam paign can be
accomplished only by a machine which McBride
and Bowser think they have perfected. Although
a great deal can be said and written about the
particularly crude method of thus trying to grab

off an election, the time is too short; and. the Lib-

eral party is hard at work getting in shape to poll |i
the largest number of votes that are available onjf

few days and a candidate will be chosen. That
candidate has every chance of carrying the riding.
The defeat of the Libera] candidate will be due|-

only to the neglect of the honest citizens to cast

their ballots for him on April10. The people now
have a chance to express their honest views.
