asserts
Ed.
McCormack
of
Van

iederal

for

who
is
a
visitor
In

He
warns
against
the
super-salesman
of

now
offering
their
political

"The

Speaking
of

Mr.

urges
that

"Complete

that

MACHINERY
BEING
SET
IN
MOTION
TO
NAME
SUCCESSOR
TO
RETIRING
OLOF
HANSON
With
Olof
Hanson,
who
has
served
as
federal
member
for
Skeena
continuously
during
the
past
fifteen
years,
finally
and
definitely
reiterating
his
intension
of
retiring,
the
federal
Liberal
organization
is
now
setting
machinery
in
motion
for
the
holding
as
soon
as
possible
of
a
nominating
convention
to
choose
a
'candidate
to
sue-1
ceed
him.
For
some
time
two
names
those
of
E.
T.
Kenney,
M.L.A.
for
Skeena,
and
W,.
M.
Wattes,
ex-mayor
of
Prince
Rupert
have
been
prominently
mentioned
as
Liberal
candidates
but,
as
yet,
neither
has
been
officially
asked
to
allow
his
name
to
go
before
the
convention.
There
has
been
no
intimation
yet
as
to
when
the
federal
election
will
be
held.
The
setting
of
the
date
may
be
governed
by
war
developments
which
are
moving
rapidly
at
this
time.
Against
the
posslbll
ity
of
an
early
election
called
at
short
notice,
Liberals
of
Prince
Rupert
have
suggested
to
the
president
of
the
Skeena
district
association
that
steps
preliminary
to
the
calling
of
a
nominating
convention
be
taken
without
further
delay.
The
Importance
of
a
candi
date
being
chosen
who
will
be
acceptable
to
all
sections
and
elements
of
the
riding
is
being
emphasized.
The
veteran
members
of
the
party
realize
the
importance
of
considering
the
views
and
desires
of
the
younger
element
Including
those
who
are
serving
in
the
armed
forces.
The
Liberals
are
also
interesting
themselves
In
the
possibility
of
choosing
a
candidate
who
would
be
acceptable
to
the
Progressive
Conservatives.
