MARKET FOR CANADIAN FortrGeonjev Liberals Decide- Not to Nominate Candidate to e ;a Contest Forthcoming Election PRINCE GEORGE, Dec. 13: Liberals of Fort George rirlinrr. in convention here last nieht. decided not to nomi nate a candidate for the forthcoming provincial by-elec- tinn tn phnnse a successor to recently appointed Agent-General in London. The Con servative nominee, who is expected to be Dr. K. w. Ai wara, nui aeniisi uvttvsov oi mis cuy, wiu, " . therefore, be the new member un-1 less an Independent should enter the field. It Is expected, however, that Dr. Alward will receive an acclamation. The Liberals, in deciding riot to place a candidate in the field, accepted a recommendation from a special committee to that effect. This committee recommended against a Liberal nomination on the grounds, first, that the voters' list for the riding whs far from complete, and would not represent a true expression of public opinion; second, that nomination day com ing Just before the holiday season and election day immediately after made it difficult to conduct a cam paign; third, that efforts should be devoted to relieving unemployment rather than conducting election campaigns, and fourth, that a general election would be held shortly in any case. The following was the exact wording of the reasons upon which the inadvisabllity of a Liberal no mlnatlon were based: 'l.The government should have i held a court of revision of the voters' list, as provided for in Section 15, sub-section 3, of the Provincial Elections Act, before calling this bv-electlon. There are not only two hundred fewer names on the list than in 1928, but 1700 fewer than on the list used In the recent Domln Ion Election. In the Peec&Rlver area of this riding there are only 1223 names on the present list, as com nared with some 2500 on the Fed eral list. Thus a large portion or tne electorate is disfranchised. 2. The holding of -an election covering the holiday season in a district so far flung as Fort George, with Its difficulties of transport, precludes the possibility of even reasonably covering the district, and in our opinion the election was GRANTED electrical power station in the . river. Hon. 1. 1', burden, wno was designedly fixed by the government with this in view. 3. Unemnlovment la here tn ag gravated form and we suggest that rather than stir op strife and controversy at this uertod. the efforts of the government and the money of the tax payers should be diverted to the problem of relief to the unemployed. 4.-The ueneral election Is not far distant, and with the voters' lists complied up to date", opportunity will be afforded for an adequate ex pression of public opinion which we believe will be orerwhelmlngly con demnatory of the government.
