Let's Vote Tomorrow . . . This is the last word before we go to vote at the provincial election tomorrow. Here in Prince Rupert it has been a unique campaign. Who would have imagined that in this riding of all places there could ever have been an election in which the old line parties would have taken no active part, officially at least? How old time Socialists would have been shocked to think that their cause should be split wide open here as it is today in this election! ' But for all its uniqueness we may consider the outcome of the election in Prince Rupert riding quite as important as in any other riding in the province where the field may have been a little more conventional than it was here. Much has been said about the Japanese question in this .campaign. No doubt it is important that we should not contribute to the return to power in Victoria of a political group which would do anything directly or indirectly to encourage the return of the Japanese to British -Columbia much less to extend further privileges to these people, whose ways and whose philosophies have been to us a pill the bitterness of which we should not soon forget. But, in spite of the stress that has been placed on the Japanese question in this campaign, we are ..not prepared to admit that it is by ji!any means a major issue in the elec-iSjtion. 'The' issue in- this' election, it ap- . jj jiearljlo us, transcend p.o 1 i t i c a.l ;;ines.vrhe C.C.F. haVexlbne a lot of economic preaching about how it ciwould socialize industries, services iliand property, for the- immediate ir.benefit of all- and' sundry if it were ".returned to power. The fact of the I'Jmatter -is that the C.p.F,.coiill:lo ""littlelo put those policies into effect '" in a provincial sphere for we do have "'to live and do business with the rest of. the country and the rest of the world. This, of course leads to a verjr reasonable assumption that, if I- British Columbia "did return to power a government disposed to tinker with economic set-up, they might, in th-end, do us more harm than good. On the other hand, there is a government group, seeking return to office, which has carried on our affairs successfully and well thus far, which has proven its administrative ability along sound lines, is ripe in experience, has ministered to the social needs of the people better than any other province in the dominion, and has taken the lead in making c.on-,j crete, and useful plans for the, diffi- -cult days which lie ahead. There is no intention to reflect on th&XKC.F., and it is the only political roup which has the possibility '.of cakesandcooWes EVAPORATED MILK . tail Al TOUR GROCER'S TODAY forming a government, when we suggest that any administration it might form would be one of complete inexperience and experimentation. It is but stating a fact to say that. There is no personal implication whatso And .we also have the young and vigorous school teacher Mickleburgh whom we could see as a very potential winner if he was riding a different horse. There is no doubt that Mr. Mickleburgh, through his fighting spirit and tenacity, has won many new friends and admirers. This is the field. We can now make our choice and our guesses. The C.C.F. is strong and well organized in Prince Rupert. It can t?e counted upon to get its vote out for. its supporters, are, keen and enthusiastic. The same can be said of""tTie' L.P.P. and Mr. Mickleburgh's group. It might not be out of place to suggest at this time that one of surest ways to 'return the C.C.F. candidate in Prince Rupert and thus assist in ' sending a . C.C.F. government to Victoria will be for those who do not want a C.C.F. government to be indifferent about voting and failing to turn out at the polls. Those who thus assist by their indifference in electing the. C.C.F. need not cry after if a C.C.F. government is elected and does things they do not like or if we have a Coalition government in British Columbia and find ourselves here sitting out in the shades of opposition provincially as we already do federally. So it is very important that -we' snouici all get out and vote tomorrow. That, after all, is a privilege and duty of citizenship. It is the one time in four- years that each and everyone of us have the opportunity of expressing our -preferences in the affairs of a very large and important business in which we shall all have a very distinct interest. So we say: "No matter how vou vote, VOTE!" -VOTE AGAINST C.C.F. "AND JAPANESE ALLIANCE , How courteous is the Japanese, He always says, "Excuse it please." Then cllmb3 Into his fishing smack, As on thevrlvers he has left hU trart He smiles and says, "I beg your pardon." He bows and gives a friendly grin, Then calls his buddies, his countrymen. He grins again, and to the C.C.F. does bow, Beware yea fishermen, do your duty now. Vote PATTULLO Weather Forecast Prince Rupert Moderate winds, cloudy and mild with scattered showers.

Then let us consider the candidates. We have Mr. Pattullo, rich in experience and influence, even if he be mellowed by years. He is fully capable ,of being an able representa- tive of this riding and a valued aide in the next Legislature in dealing with the vital problems which will undoubtedly arise. The fact of his independence would appear to be no handicap to his effectiveness either on behalf of riding or the province. Then we have Aid W. H. Brett, popular and esteemed citizen, whose integrity and sincerity no one can possibly question. If Mr. Brett goes to the polls with any handicap, it will be that of being bound to a political group which insists upon his local C.C.F. Club sent Mr. Chur chill's government a resolution of protest. The newly elected Labor government ln Britain has sent troops to put down colonial peoples fighting for their independence in, Indo-Chlna, "Greece and Java and is carrying on Tory policy in India and China to say nothing of using troops to break the dock' workers strike, but I have yet to hear the voice o fthe C.C.F. raised in public protest. Could this be because Messrs. Coldwcll, Winch and Archibald, having declared that the C.C.F. is the same kind of' party as the British Labor PAtyy, agree with such flagrant disregard for democracy. I have asked several rank and file members of the C.C.F. to explain the foreign and domestic policies of the Bevlns and Citrines and here are some of the wonderful, answers I have received: "I -don't know'," "The British Labor Party is not a La allegiance in act and word.

If not, how can we believe that, if elected the C.C.F. would not resort to the same policy here? Thanking you, Mr. Editor. J. BLAKEY. TEARING DOWN SIGNS Editor, Dally News, In your issue of October 22 there Is a letter regarding the tearing down of election posters in Prince Rupert by supporters am of the C.C.F. Party. Might I say that this situation is not one peculiar to the city of Prince Rupert. Coalition posters put up in Smithers one afternoon haye, ' disappeared h e f o r e tfialiWex't morning and the only way to keep such posters in view is to put them in windows behind glass. More recently plate glassjwin-. dows on Main Street taye been; smeared with red painty As " tearing down" and "smearing" are the main items in the C.C.F. policy one should not b? surprised at these lesser acts In such a party. They will get their reply to such acts when the votes are counted on Thursday night, because no fair-minded person would tolerate such acts of vandalism. L. II. KENNEY. Smithers. HELPING THE C.C.F. Editor, Dally News, To those of us who had nothing of any great importance to do fcr a few moments and took time out to read the latest "scandal" sheet issued over the signature of Mr. Pattullo and I presume mailed to all or nearly all whose names appear on the current voters list, It must be clear to everyone that Messrs. Pattullo and Nlckerson are doing their best to stir up racial discrimination, such as It has never before been stirred in this province of British Columbia. Once stirred up, I would like to ask where is It going to end? Are we in Canada to take up where Hitler of Germany left off? The Japs, we must remember, as late as 1939, were a fine people and a fine nation. They must have been. Otherwise why would we have shipped them all the scrap metal we did, to use .this Province. Our on our now-ally China1 werPP P-. if aicm v Know men mat tney were going to "give" It right mack to us, so we must conclude that at that time the Jap was all right and that, had Mr. Pattullo been runnlnj; for parliament, I presume that instead of chasing the Jap back to Japan he would have, along with Mr. Nlckerson, been all for chasing the Russian back to Russia, because along about that time the heroic Finns were, slaughtering the worthless RussWffirtoy1 the wMfnds and we were praising the heroic goes the Russian and theaijusCL I by way of variation and to keep the right kind of foreigner in Car&da.and tha wrang'kind out, our above (mentioned gfctitlemen would, I presume, put the taboo on the Finn, chase- him back to Finland and extend the welcome hand to the Russian whom a few months previously had been tabooed back to Russia. It is surprising to me that, in this enlightened age, men of the Intelligence which I had assumed that Mr. Pattullo and Mr. Nickerson possessed would for a moment consider the public of this constituency to be so Ignorant as to fall for such low and decrepit tactics. Undoubtedly both of these gentlemen know, as do ninety-nine and nine-tenths per cent of the readers of thelr-pamphlet, that the Jap. situation is a "'federal'' and not provincial Issue by any stretch of the imagination, that the federal, government has already ruleff on'he matter', and that not one single Jap who wishes to remain ln,ths talr dominion of ours is td;bitf feturrAcd by our present federal authorities. I mention Mr. Pattullo and Mr. Nlckerson and omit Mr Mickleburgh who has also been screeching to the high heavens, but Mr. Mickleburgh was not lakon seriously In the dominion campaign and will be taken less soriously In the current provln clal campaign.
