Election Manifesto

Ex-Alderman Thomas McClymont Makes Full Statement and
Asks for Support in Mayoralty Election.

To the Electors of Prince Rupert:

Ladies and Gentlemen,—I feel that in view of my action
in resigning from the Aldermanic Board and offering myself
for Mayor, I owe a full statement of my reasons to the public.

You are all aware that this election was brought about

by the ex-Mayor having been found guilty of what may be
called a technical breach of the law, and a law which is very
wise one, and operative from the Imperial Parliament down
to the smallest municipality in the Empire; and it is to the
effect that a man holding a legislative position shall not have
any monetary dealings, apart from his legal allowance, with
the body which he serves. If ex-Mayor Newton didn’t know
he was breaking the law, le should have, for he is on record
as atpacking former members of the Council of a couple of
years back on a charge of earrying city insurance, which, as
a matter, of fact, was not so, this be put
down to a technical break on his part or to genuine igno-
rapce, 1 do not care, as 1 do not base my case on this phase
of the question at all.

I am opposing ex-Mayor Newton and making the Mon-
treal trip the main issue. In the first place, I contend this
trip should never have been made. It was not taken up in the
regular way in the Couneil; so I did not have the opportunity
I did contend,
that it was foolish to send two men, if the trip was

however,
decided upon, as one man Would do as well. Also, in case two
men were decided’ upon, I adyocated sending the city solicitor,
who has a much better understanding of these matters than
either of the men who went on the trip.

Finally, ex-Mayor Newton and ex-Alderman
Morrissey secured permission to proceed to Montreal and on

arrival there interviewed the general manager of the Bank of
Montreal, Sir Frederick Williams-Taylor. They
there for several weeks negotigating over the re-flotation
of treasury certificates for the city, after
delay returned and reported that they had been successful and
that the certificates would be taken up by the bank at a total
cost to the city of 6 per cent interest and 2 per cent for com-
mission and flotation charges,

When the official letters were presented to the
however, it was found that the extra of 2 per cent was not a

commission, but a yearly charge of 2
ference of $54,000 to the city.

Now, although I think that 8 per cent is by far too much
for a gity to pay for a large sum of money for three years, I
am not even. going to criticise that, but what I do strongly
object to, is the fact that those men, after spending several
weeks in negotiating with the bank, were not aware of the
terms on which the deal Was made,

Now, I contend that the most serious part in the whole
transaction for this city, is not so much the loss of $54,000,
which is considerable in these hard times, but rather the
very unfavorable impression that financiers have got about
the class of men we elect to office, Everybody knows that
bankers in leading money go larggly on the character and
ability of the man who will spend the funds and from their
experiences with the men we sent to Montreal there is no
doubt but what they will make up their mind.that Prince Ru-
pert is not worthy of very great confidences, and I have a men-
tal picture of Sir Frederick Williams-Tayior when he got the

DO YOUR DUTY

 

Tomorrow the citizens
of Prince Rupert will elect
a Mayor and Alderman to
complete the broken term.
The candidates are all well
known and their records
are before the people. As
there is no issue apart
from a personal one, al-
though very important, no
comment is necessary.
The people will elect their
choice and if they do not
chose the right men they
will pay for it, One thing,
however, should be point-
ed out: Every voter in the
city should attend and cast
his ballot. If you leave it

el

to others to elect your
candidate you may be dis-
appointed. ‘There should

be a large vote cast and if
this is done the choice will
at least be a popular one.
Prince Rupert needs the
“best man for Do
your duty.
