Every man with political ambitions knows that to be the
sole representative of a great constituency this, with}
the coming world-port as its metropolis, will be a position of
unique.importance. Had there been the redistribution of
the rapidly increasing population has the right to demand there
would have been two members to elect from the Prince Rupert
and Skeena district alone, with members for the district
beyond Hazelton, for the Portland Cana! district for the
islands and the coast to the south. But to follow such a
just course must of necessity have meani an increase in the
opposition to the Two-Man government, and these monopolists
of political faith and liberty schemed to avoid this. They
schemed also to defeat any honest and direct representation of
the people by giving insufficient time for the
rection of the padded voting lists.
