Asks Support
New Hazelton

There was a good attendance at the
public meeting.in the Community hall
on Wednesday evening to hear Frank
M. Dockrill, the Conservative candi-
dite, place his views before the voters
of this poll. R. 8. Sargent occupied
the chair and he referred to the great
pleasure it gave him to once more pre-
side at a Conservative meeting In New
Hazelton. The last time was in 1916
when Hon. Mr. Manson and Hon. H
H. Stevens were the speakers, .
The first speaker was L. 8. MeGill
who spoke at some length on why the
province needed’'a change of govern-
ment, and he predicted that there was
going to be a change and that Hon. 8.
F. Tolmie would-be premier and F. M.
Dockrill would -be the representative
from Skeena. He made a special plea
to the-people of New Hazelton to vote
for Mr. Dockrill and in their own in-
terests, He said that this was, so far
ns he could learn, the only “place that
was likely” to give the Liberals any
kind of o majority: He hoped that
would not he so;

Mr. Dockrill has been making much
headway asa public speaker and he
cnn now stand on his own feet and teli

impressive way. He dealt with _the
financial condition of the province and
