It . T. D. FATTL'LLO, LIBERAL Only One Choice LIBERAL ! BENEFIT GREATER Difficult To See How Electors Could Choose C. C. F. Over Proven Government j From the point of view of the elector, it is difficult to see what ether party offers him practical benefits equal to those he is likely to get from a continuance of the Liberal regime. Certainly its policies bear comparison with either of the other parties; it is undoubtedly superior in administrative and executive talent and experience of governing. Its patriotism canr not successfully be challenged and neither of the other organizations cling so closely to the principles of democratic rule. In the line of concrete accomplishments, of course, no comparison is possible. The Liberal party has a solid and imposing record of accomplishment to point to, while, through the force of circumstances, the opposing parties have nothing but their platforms to fall back on. Having considered the men and 'the parties between which they must choose next Tuesday, the electors should not find it hard to make a choice. The C.C.F. is supported by an organization that believes it can fool the electors by distorting the truth, shouting "Lie!" whenever it is faced by the uncomfortable facts of its own past record, and serving up a warm- j ed-over mulligan of discredited type of radical economist could honestly endorse. C.C.F. Discredited The C.C.F. bases its appeal on economic theory, patriotic ut- GEOKGE WEAVER, C.C.F. lerances and criticism of the present government. The economic theory of the C.C.F. is an odd one. Profes commodities which should be. nationalized. It advocates benefits for farmers and co-opera- !..- ..i- - . . election ment will (if it becomes C.C.F.) take over complete ownership of farm products and (according'to the latest prophet to appear here, who emphasized the point) EVERY means of production, whic'h certainly would include farms. And, of course, it regards government ownership as the complete solution of all ills, though it fails to state how it proposes to overcome those spe- to convince people who recollect that Mrs. Steeves said, "There is nothing to choose between Britain and Germany," who remember the C.C.F. campaign against sending any men overseas, and who recall some of its representatives in the legislature who refused to assist the War Savings Drive it is difficult to convince them that the patriotism of the C.C.F. leaders is of much longer standing than the present election campaign.

To the Electors of Skeena: On the eve of Election I take this last opportunity of asking you for your support at the polls. Owing to great expense and lack of time I have found it impossible to visit all points in the riding and meet you all. If elected as your member I promise faithful service, no vicious patronage and favorit- isin and to keep from doing business with the government myself. I promise to work for the district as a whole on a basis of equality. I am signing this as I am best known in the district where I have resided for 35 years. Yours truly, W. J. O'NEILL.
