ALEX MANSON CHOSEN

NOMINATED BY THE LIBERALS

NANIMOUS PARTY ACTION EXCITES WIDESPREAD ENTHUSIASTIC APPROVAL

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Public feeling against the tyranny of the Two-Man Government and its supine local representative has been growing stronger day by day ever since
date of the Election was announced. During the past few days it crystallized into a general demand for a people’s candidate and strong representa-
ns were made to the Liberal party to place a man in the field. Independent Conservatives were foremost in this movement, which embraces the lead-
men of the constituency irrespective of party. Labor unionism was also prominent in the appeal. The executive of the Liberal party has had the
ter under careful advisement and consideration for several days and at length called a meeting to which they could report and obtain the decision of
full membership. This meeting took place last night with the result stated above. First there was a motion to decide whether it were wise to
ce a candidate in the fleld. This was settled with instantaneous unanimity. Then came the matter of nominating a candidate and the suggestion
Alex. M. Manson as an able and energetic young man bound to make a good campaign met with startling applause. Mr. Manson was not present.
tantly a demand was made on the president, Dr. Kergin, to appoint a committee to wait upon Mr. Manson and tender to him the nomination. _F. G.
wson, Fred. Stork, W. E. Williams and C. V. Bennett were selected and started in a hurry for Mr. Manson’s residence. Then there was a lull and a
g wait, during which the chances of success were canvassed and the enthusiasm waxed warm. The committee entered and signified the success of
ir mission by waving their hats, a signal that started rousing cheers. Back to work went the committee with renewed energy. Committees were
pointed to report today. Volunteers for the platform jumped up and offered their services. Fred Stork goes to Bella Coola where he is well known
| appreciated; Duncan Ross will canvass the Hazelton district, and the whole field will be covered by enthusiastic volunteers by the time this goes
vress. In the city there is no need of campaign work. The vote polled for Duncan Ross is solid and has grown some since last fall. Then ihe
erals have new forces to draw on, for this is a fight for right and political liberty in which all are forced to join. Not the Liberals alone but the

ole manhood of the city will join the joyful clamor for MANSON THE MAN.
