Election fever rises

Parties ready for action

LOCAL CAMPAIGN teanis
are busy raising money and
organizing their forces for
the provincial. election

day.

Three parties have already
established offices in Ter-

Lakelse and the NDP have
their base in a small build-

back entrances of the Slum-

theatre building.

Election expenses limits
place the amount of money
each party can spend in the
Skeena riding af just over
$50,000,

The Socreds appear to
have one of the best
financed campaigns at the
Moment with more than
$18,000 in the bank.

That amount is a holdover
from the 1991 provincial
election campaign here.

Liberal campaign manager
Linda Hawes says her party
has close to what the
Socreds have in their coffers
and anticipates raising a lot
more.

‘“We estimate we'll need
at least $30,000 to run a
really good campaign to
Teach as many people as

possible,’’ she said.

The Liberals are also
opening an office in
Kitimal.

Approximately 50 people
have already signed on to
help the Liberal campaign.

NDP finance official
Frank Rowe said his party
has been successful in rais-
ing money over the past
month.

‘Our coffers were down a
fair bit bul we are now get-
ting a good response,”’ he
said,

Nearly 50 people have
signed up in Terrace to help
with the campaign. The
NDP also have an office in
Kitimat.

Chris Lindseth, the presi-

“We won't be doing any-
thing too extravagant — in
the $25,000 area,’” he said.

A lot of potential Reform
contributors held off until
this past weekend when the
party nominated its candi-
