THE MAYORALTY

To the Electors of the City of
Prince Rupert,
Ladies and Gentlemen;-—Jn re-

sponse to the wishes of a large
number of ratepayers, I have con
sented to again become a candidate
for the oMce of mayor for 1916.

In the past I have made
it a point of always being on the
job in carefully guarding the affairs
of the city along the lines of im
partiality, practicability, economy
based upon eMciency, and the pre
servation and success of our public
utilities.

If these efforts have met with
your approval, might | again solicit
your support as a means of the
continuation of such a policy for
the next year? Yours truly

8s. M. NEWTON

POLICY

Believing the time has arrived for public-spirited inter-
est in civic affairs, I contend that, during the present crisis,
with little in sight to be done, the indemnity granted the city
council for their services should be eliminated, or substian-
tially reduced. The support of those favoring such a policy
is requested on behalf of T- McCLYMONT for Alderman.

MAJESTIC THEATRE
—

There is a good seven-reel show
at the Majestic tonight, whieh is
a vice blend of comedy and drama
and has a variety which should
provide something interesting for
all. “The Knaves and the Knight,”
a most amusing comedy,is worthy
of special mention. The gentle-
man in armor reminds one very
strongly of the inimitable James
Welch in “When Knights were
Bold.” His efforts to get around
in a suit of armor provoked no
end of merriment last night
