With the threat of layoff han; ing over 2,000 workers in Massey Harris, and the need for a laboi spokesman in parliament to tah up the fight for jobs, unemplo: ment insurance, housing an peace, the CCF has nominated Herman Voaden, who in 1945 suc ceeded only in defeating Buck. This year, his campaign speeches provide ample evidence that he is going down the line wth the Lib- eral-Tory machine. Voaden kno> he has no chance of election, pre- fers to see a Conacher (Liberal) victory, or if not that, “the clever but innocuous” Tory, L. W. Skey. A large body of CCF support- ers in Trinity is this year back- ing the “Win with Tim Buck” idea, many of the LPP’s 300 canvassers report. | It was Voaden who sentenced the working people of Trinity to four years of having as their MP on of the most rabid Drew Tories solely because in 1945 he split t} labor vote. Skey won then with 8,908 votes, the Liberals got 8 and Tim Buck, 7,488. Voaden came a.poor fourth, put the 3,42é votes he took were more tha enough to give Buck the seat. All the indications since the 1945 federal election are that the LP has won even stronger electoral support in Trinity for its policies. LPP provincial member A. A. MacLeod was re-elected last year from Bellwoods (which covers a big chunk of Trinity) with 7,764 votes, an increase of 965 over his -1945 figure. Many CCFers voted for him to beat the red-baiting Tory, Renison, rather than waste EAST END TAXI UNION DRIVERS HA. 0334 Fully 24-Hour Insured Service 19 Robs on St. — MAr. 2622 — 618 East Hastings, Vancouver 4 STANTON & MUNRO Barristers and Solicitors 501 HOLDEN ST. \ 1g EB - HASTINGS ee VANCOUVER, B.,C. ‘ BUILDING MArine 5746 (The Financial Post last week expressed its fear that Tim Buck would their vote on a split candidate equivalent to Voaden. Tim Buck's official agent, Charles Sims, was re-elected al- derman at the top of the polls for Ward 5 (which covers all Trinity). The CCF has a provincial mem- ber for Bracondale (which covers over half of Trinity). This man. H. Walters, was elected because he got the same united support that simultaneously elected MacLeod. Voaden hasn't got that support. So there is in Trinity a big united labor vote which has elected MacLeod, Sims, and School ,Trustee Edna Ryerson several times running, gave Stewart Smith his biggest ward vote for controller, and this time ean elect Tim Buck—but which Voaden is trying to disrupt. Only poltiicians who place np row party gain before labor’s in. terests would have treated as “joke” the serious unity appeal . the powerful LPP in Trinity the CCF did. That ‘telegraphed unity appeal was announced by CCF provincial chairman A. Brewin to the CCF nominating convention as coming from’ “Stewart Smith, chairman of something or other.” “I've read these things before and I intend to read this one rather rapidly,” was his supercilious com- ment, That same convention was the give-away on the CCF-Liberal pol- icy partnership in Trinity, and gives one more proof of the na- tional tie-up. : Voaden described George Drew and Tim Buck as equal menaces. said the Liberals were muddlers: pushed by the CCF, forecast that the CCF would be official opposi- tion in the next house. Such blasting of the Tories and the Communists equally helps Lib- eral candidate Lionel Conacher most of all, “There is a kinship between George Drew and Tim Buck... . We have just as strong a cause against them (the LPP) as Drew,” said Voaden. This is the clear-cut Trinity ex- ample of CCF nationwide betrayal of its members, its supporters, and all labor. In Trinity hundreds of CCF- ers will give their answer June 27 by voting for Tim Buck. Even those who don’t yet understand the Atlantic pact and the Mar- shall plan are clear on one point: Jabor wins when united. They want to win.

Canvassers are still needed for pre-election day work. On elec- tion day we need scrutineers and cars. If you can help out, phone TA. 1451 or FA. 9454. After the polls close Wednes- day all LPP election workers will gather at Clinton Hall, 2605. East Pender, to report and to hear election results. ¥ * * And here’s a word on canvassing from Viva Flood, who’s a pretty efficient canvasser herself. “T have worked in several campaign, yet I never set out without feeling a bit jittery. Canvassing requires a definite effort Very few people take to it naturally. The best source of con- fidence is conviction. Never give people election material you have not read, and-be prepared to answer questions on the LPP’s policy and program. When we call people to the door it is for the purpose of helping them to get a grasp of the problems they are concerned about. “When you get into a down-to-earth discussion with them, you will find that most folk are friendly and interested, and the rebuffs, fewer than one might expect, are easy to understand in the face of all the anti-labor propaganda. You may not believe it until you have been out, but canvassing is a rewarding experi- ence and gives one a personal feeling of accomplishment.” PACIFIC TRIBUNE — JUNE 10, 1949 — PAGE 1t
