FRIDAY, APRIL 16, 1915

N several occasions in the past the Herald has

’ drawn attention to the benefits of co-opera-
tion, and has sought to get the people in the town
and district pulling together. There is‘no time
like the present to inaugurate that system, and
everything is to be gained. The old stunt of the
individual getting all he could has proven a fail-
ure, and permanent success can only be achieved
by unity. This year offers greater opportunities
than ever for a big improvement in local condi-
tions if the people will pull together and forget
what they got sore at their neighbor for--the
chances are that you had been kidded and allow-
ed your imagination to run away with you. The

Citizens’ Association has a great work before it

Af. they will take hold and secure the support of
the town, From every quarter the reports of
mining money being available are most encourag-
ing.
and companies will undertake mining develop-
ment this year. That a large portion of that
money ean be brought here is certain if the town

but goes after it. A united effort will be so bene-

‘ficial that everyone will be surprised.

fy to. the truth of statements by Conservative
‘politicians with the legislature | at Victoria as their
Spal, but R. S: Sargent, a local : aspirant for the
noinination in Omineca district, ‘broke: away from
the rules laid down by Bowser and McBride.

At.a meeting he
held i in Endako recently, addressing the people of
‘that town and district, he said, according to the
report of his speech in the Endako Star, ‘‘he

have: a new constituency. This is the first ‘time
the people have had a say as to who shall be their
candidate. . ‘Every citizen likes to feel. he has a
voice in. choosing a representative for their dis-

‘trict; and you-now have the right and privilege of.

making your choice. Mr. Sargent stated that he
would not have come out but for his Conservative
friends pressing him to do so;:their. reason being

-that they considered him the strongest man the

Conservative party had. Your vice-president has.
posted you upon the fact that there is another
man in the field, namely, - Mr, Dockrill.: -T am

| strictly a local man, having lived in Hazelton for

the past twenty-four years. Everything I have
is invested in this constituency. On the other

| hand, Dockrill has never lived in the district. A
-man who has not been a resident cannot under-
|-stand the needs of the people as well as.a local
man. who bas met and knows practically every.

man in'the district and has a good chance through

| his business connections of being acquainted with

their opinions and needs, Iam nota professional
politician, nor am I backed by any company or
corporation; just running at my own expense, and
at the request of friends. If I am successful in.
being sent to Victoria will use the best. of my

ability in the interests of this district and of the
province as a whole, I feel that Dockrill is in the

| field for what will benefit him personally. The

company that he is interested i in is anxious to get
a spur line built from. the railroad tothe coal
fields, and one of his chief aims when at Victoria
would be to use his influence in getting a subsidy
for that purpose. It has been hinted that Dock-
rill is in touch with the financial world and wouid

benefit the community by bringing capital into |

the district. He may be in touch with the capi-
talist. Yes, but just in so far as he has some-
thing to sell. If we have any resources in our
district eapable of attracting capital, we have al-
so plenty of able men to handle same and induce
the investment of capital to the advancement and
improvement of our district in a legitimate and
‘businesslike way and not by wire pulling. 1 know
Mr. Dockrill will not make a: good run in the
north-western portion of the district because the

pector; and he is a hustler and a good fellow, and
think you would like him; but, remember he has
an axe to grind. If you send a delegate to the
convention with instructions to yote for Sargent
I shall be very grateful.”
