Orme (Continued from page one) Sewer construction had been handled badly. Aid. Prudhomme continued, and it was not Mr. Orme who was particularly to blame but rather the blame should be laid at the door of the man who, in appointing the committees, had placed the druggist on the Board of Works instead of the man with that he was to blame for the piece of sidewalk complained of by Mr. Newton when proper foundations had been placed under it. He denied -that he had Interfered with tiie city engineer. In closing, Aid. Prudhomme re- MUtitert. JtKM different with him- tsejf and Aid. Prudhomme.

Nothing had been said by Mr. Onne as to how he intended to meet the $50,000 overdraft at the bank or Did Their Part They had deemed that thlj was"none of the citizens' business.

Pxudhomnie and tie had .done. their part, Mr. Newton said, in drawing attention to public issues. All Orme did was to make lame excuses to persuade the people that they were satisfied. But were they satisfied? There were the McBride Street and sewer fiascos. There was also the board of arbitration which the council of his day would not hare recognised. At this point. Tony Christian in terrupted Mr. Newton to ask why he would not recognize a board of I arbitration. This, Mr. Carintian said, was a law of justice to which ! any contractor should be entitled.

Such were the issues of the day, Mr. Newton said, and they were not the kind of prattle which Mr. Orme had had in the newspapers of this day. He again asked Mr. Orme why mlnded hls he had resigned from he council hearers that ey would forty years' building and contract-! ing experience. Nevertheless, Mr. Orme would be just as satisfactory a member of the Board of Works as he would be mayor. What little experience he had obtained during his year as alderman had been gained from people who did not know much themselves.

Aid. Orme had was necessary. At .his suaewsiion. Mmtauami DnH eluded, was that there were those in the city who thought they would not be able to handle Prudhomme or himself as easily a they could handle Orme. Mr. Newton reiterated his stand with respect to the money bylaws. He was not opposed to the passage of the bylaws but suggested merely that their passage be delayed until after the people knew the complexion of the 1930 council. He still believed that would be the best policy. He. for one, '.ntended to wait to see who the new mayor would appoint to the board of work. If Ex-Aid. Perry, however, had been on the council he would have had no hesitation in support-tag the passage of the bylaws. As far aa Aid. Brown, whom he knew i Mr. Orme would appoint to the board of works if he was elected, was concerned, he had no doubt that he tried to carry on the work to the best of his ability and judgment but he did not believe he was practical enough. Mr. Newton concluded by saying that he ought to know what he was talking about in view of the experience he had had. He could honestly say that he had never tried to deceive any one from the public platform. G. B. Casey Ex-Aid. Oasey took exception to "the unreasonable procedure of the chairman at Aid. Ortne's meeting." He charged that Mayor McMordle was taking advantage of his position in the attempt to hand pick a council for 1930. He repudiated the suggestion of Aid. Orme that toe (Aid. Casey) had attempted to engender animosity in Rupert Bast agsoost the council euklng of the proposed development of Violet Park as a children's playground, Mr. Casey declared that it was not necessary, as Mr. Orme had suggested, to put a money bylaw to the people. Development of McClymont Park, he pointed out. had been carried on from the city's current revenue. The people of Rupert ast were not asking for the expenditure of a large sum in this work but merely wanted a small amount each year. Euen the Gyro) Club had not been accorded ceur-! iesy by Mayor McMordle when it had sought co-operation from the city in connection with playground establishment. Mr. Casey charged that Aid. Col-lart had stolen his thunder in connection with the Peace River outlet. It was he who had originally brought that matter forward. No prestige in the fight would be lost if he (Mr. Casey) were elected al- jdwnwn.

Countless remedies are advertised 'for constipation. Many 'relieve for the moment but they are habit forming and must be continued. '.Others contain calomel and dangerous mineral drugs, which remain in the system, settle in the joints and cause aches and pains, borne are harsh purgatives which cramp and gripe and leave a depressed after effect. .Avoid lubricating oils which only grease the intestines and encourage nature's machinery to become lazy. A purely vegetable laxative such as Carter's Little Liver Pills, gently touches the liver, bile starts to flow, the'bqwejs move gently, the Intestines are thoroughly cleansed and constipation poisons pass away. The stomach, liver and bowels are now active and the system enjoys a real tonic effect All druggists 25c and 75c red pkgs a suitable person to be admitted to the 193C council. II. F. I'ullen H. F. Pullen said he belonged to no ticket and was running as an independent candidate. If elected, he would be prepared to work with anybody Jo the best of hit ability. This was the first time in his 12 years' residence here that he had sought public office, although he had been identified with the initiation of tlie public library movement here and had ever since been a member of the board. Mr. Pullen traced the history of the public library movement from its humble start until it had new become an established and successful institution. Mr. Pullen again mentioned his ideas in regard to development of the business of the city. He mentioned the trip he had made to the Peace River last fall as a delegate from the Board of Trade. Now was the -crucial time, he thought, in the campaign for the outlet. He urged that the outlet here should be jointly that of the C. P. R. and the C. N, R. He was jn favor of the council making a settled policy of giving free sites from tax sale lots to encourage the establishment of non-competitve industries here. J. G. Johns Making his maiden speech on a public platform, J. O. Johns promised that, if elected, he would study the financial situation of the city as closely as possible. This was a very important factor, he felt. He believed that rigid economy in ad ministration was now needed, though he had no criticism to make of the work of the, past council, being not familiar with it, Jf economy were not practiced, he believed that the city might land in the hands of the receiver. He was behind the projects for the Peace River outlet and highway construction and, if elected, would use every effort and influence to further them. If the electors saw lit tb choose him as an alderman, he would do all he could to see that the city was run as economically as possible. Application For High Express Rates Withdrawn OTTAWA, Jan. 15. The Bpard of Railway Commissioners has been advised that the'applicatioh of the Express Association for, increased rates on express matter throughout Canada is withdrawn. TO TJIE ELECTORS Tomorrow Is -election day and for the first time since coming to the olty I am asking you to consider whether I might be able to serve you in the position of alderman. There are six candidates for the two-year office .and they are all good men. No mistake can be made In choosing any of them. I am not setting myself up as being better than any of the rest. However, just at this juncture, I feel as if I should like the opportunity to see what I can do to assist, not so much in settling the sewer problems, .or the sidewalk problems or the street problems, important as these ore, but in dealing with the pressing problems of securing new industries, of prefslng for the -Peace River outlet, in securing the use of this port by the C. ; P.
