DAILY EDITION It seems impossible to over- emphazise the seriousness of the situation which now con- fronts Prince Rupert. We stand exactly like the old Ro- man gladiators waiting for the turning of the thumbs. Turn the thumbs down, Sam Newton is mayor and our hopes. for Prince Rupert are doomed. Let the thumbs point upward —upward toward the “starry threshold of Jove’s court,”’ and so will the prospects of Prince Rupert soar and our prosper- ity with them. * * There are primarily two reasons why Sam _ Newton should be turned down. In the first place, he asks for your support because of his whole- some criticism of our public men. Without showing any personal malice (which does not exist) the wholesomeness of his criticism can _ be best judged by his attitude toward such men as G. W. Morrow, Wm. Manson, J. Hilditch, and even his present boss, J. E. Merrifield. The first named, who was one of the best citi- zeus Prince Rupert ever had, he hounded out of town. The others were by turn the great- est scoundrels, the worst po- litical rascals, and the most unprincipled men that’ ever walked the earth. Now, be- cause he hates somebody else more than he does them, he is glad to make common cause and is willing to pledge him- self and his paper for any pur- pose that these men may see fit. In the second place he asks for your support because of his honesty of purpose. It is da Monday, January 12, 1914. an unpleasant thing to ques- tion a man’s motive, and only a guess at best. In this case he can be allowed the benefit of an alternative. Sam New- ton is either false from the ground up or he is so fright- fully ignorant and stupid that he cannot see straight. What do the electors think of a man who makes charges that everybody knows are false? What do they think of a man who claims to have saved the telephone franchise for this city, when the facts are that the very men whom he accuses are the ones who pro- tected the franchises bu put- ting up their, own money? Many people admire clever trickery, but the stupid kind that Newton practices only appeals to the basest minds and is entirely beneath con- tempt. - * . Sam Newton is known to be the worst knocker ever thrust upon any people. The city he inflicted before he came here grew so weary of him that they bought him out, paying him twice the value of his property in order to be forever rid of him. Prince Rupert is not go- ing to buy him out, but they will starve him out. In his speech a few nights ago he said that his defeat this time would be his death knell. Citi- zens, this is the long looked for opportunity to cast him out. Send him down to such a defeat that he will never again return to insult your intelli- gence; a defeat that will fin- ally demonstrate that a man cannot malign the public and at the same time seek iheir suffrage. Comparative Statistics The great growth of the business of the British Columbia Electric Railway Company Limited during the fifteen years of its operation is strikingly told in brief form by the following figures: 1897-8 Present General— SIURE: f'n bik x cele sede . -82,700,000- $30,000,000 Gross annual income ............ 318,724 5,855,700 Population of districts servec..... 50,000 220,000 Light and Power— Generating stations (output) a 2,000h.p. 128,000h.p.

Newlon said the was subsidizing the other of the city.

O. H, Nelson said the campaign had for the most part fair and square and along educational lines, He was differing on the power agreement with some of his best friends, but that was the right of a Britisher. Only in one or two occasions had his motives been attacked. He expected it of Newton, but not of Dr. Clayton, who was a member of the tight- she been est monopoly in British Colum- bia, the Dental Association, He criticized and corrected figures given by ex-Ald. Morris- sey at the previous night's meet- ing. Comparing the he said it was not a question of sell- ing out the city. We cannot own everything and this is an oppor- tunity to relieve ourselves of zome of the burden. He believes the city will bave the whip hane over the company on the agree- ment, “Are we going to nave electrwity and nothing else? We caunot allow our streets to go; and we must have sewage. This agreement offers the solution.” Ht, Naden said municipal ownership were nice words Lo flip around the tongue, but if they were carried to their logical con- clusion the city would have own the collieries from which we get the coal and own a municipai store. We are not running away from municipal ownership when we pay the hydro company $51 for a horse power instead of the agreement, G. ecllieries $8100 for the same horse power. If we rescind the bylaws we will have to do without the pro- posed schools. What will the ——_—_— mothers of this city to that? Will we do without education in order to have lights developed at Woodworth Lake? That is the logical conclusion of our oppo- say nents’ policy. We must prepare for a bigger city. If we are not going to have a big city we have already gone too far. For 17 years of his public life had never questioned the mo- of opponent, but when question his he has a right to question theirs. C. W. Peck wanted to know what was_ the consideration he and Mayor Pat- tullo had received to change their on public ownership. He wanted to say his views had never he tives they an views changed. He had advocated a satisfactory agreement with this company since the first council, and the only consideration was the welfare of the city. On W Peck said he had no faith in Prince Rupert. He has every dollar invested in the city, yet if report is correce C, W. Peck has sold out everything he had in Prine Rupert and invested = in Vancouver. Also what about his interest in Georgetown water- power whih he wants to sell to the city. He had promised Mr. Free- man to make the statement that the waterfront boat owners ag- reed soe time ago to charge ev- erybody $2.50 an hour for a launch. He _ did. not retract, however, what he could prove. Candidate Allison said he pre- ferred to see the cily wear out rather than rust out. He ap- pealed particularly to the ladies, W. P. Lynch dealt with the Section Two charge and explain- ed that the council did just what the owners of Section Two ask- ed them to do. The property owners were paying for it and were satisfied. It did not cost the city a dollar. It was the only way the work could be done. Concerning the assessment Mr Newton had said if was unnec- essary to raise the assessment last year. Then he commended the late assessor for fearlessiy doing his duty in raising the as- Court of Revision for reducing sessment. Then he criticised the tle again.
