From
Majbr
Harvey
To
The
Voters
Z)ear
Fellow
Citizen:
Unlike
the
others
who
are
seeking
to
represent
you
at
Ottawa
my
presence
oh
the
Western
Frorit,
until
a
few
days
ago,
has
made
it
impossible
for
me
to
visit
many
of
you
before
the
election,
much
as
I
should
like
to
have
done
so.
My
home
has
been
in
this
district
since
1930,
first
at
Smithers,
then
at
Prince
Rupert.
I
have
travelled
pretty
well
all
over
it
and
know
its
problems.
In
1939
was
elected
President
of
the
Prince
Rupert
Chamber
of
Commerce,
and
two
weeks
before
the
war
was
elected
President
of
the
Associated
Boards
of
trade
of
Central
British
Columbia,
ait
office
to
which
I
Was
re-elected
a
month
ago.
am
convinced
that
Skeena
has
a
great
future,
dependent
to
a
large
extent
on
the
development
of
trade
through
the
Port
of
Prince
Rupert
and
the
opening
of
trade
routes
principally
to
North
China,
Russia
and
the
United
Kingdom.
DeveldpTfierit
has
not
occurred
to
any
Pacific
Port
without
subsidies,
arid
my
chief
endeavour
will
be
to
arrange
for
the
subsidizing
of
ships
to
come
to
Prince
Rupert,
this
will
start
a
flow
of
trade
from
all
Northern
B.C.
ports
and
will
develop
markets
tor
all
that
we
can
produce
throughctt
the
district.
I
worked
on
this
before
the
war
and
do
not
approach
the
problem
as
a
novice.
All
our
problems
of
development
have
corne
from
limitations
of
markets
and
excessive
tariffs
and
rates.
I
will
work
to
solve
these
problems.
As
a
Progressive-Conservative
I
will
work
for:
(a)
The
encouragement
of
free
enterprise,
individually
and
co-operatively,
and
the
rcriioval
of
restrictions.
(b)
A
fair
share
of
the
national
income
for
farmers
and
fishermen,
miners
and
loggers.
(c)
Work
at
fair
pay
for
every
Canadian
able
to
work.
-T
(d)
Investigation
arid
control
of
monopolies
and
in
ternational
cartels.

w

t
(e)
Mandatory
collective
bargaining.
.i.
(f)
Protection
against
unemployment,
sickness,
accident
and
old
age.
(g)
A
national
health
program.
As
a
soldier
I
will
give
proper
representatation
to
the
members
of
the
Arriied
Forces
of
this
arid
the
tasl
war
arid
their
families.
As
a
lawyer
I
will
present
your
case
in
ari
effective
manner
in
Ottawa
As
a
bona
fide
resident
of
Skeena
I
will
give
you
and
the
district
as
a
whole,
sincere
and
honest
representation.
As
a
CanadianI
will
work
for
national
unity
and
against
those
forces
which
advocate
an
untried,
oris
arid
un-Cariadian
political
philosophy.
Firidlly,
let
me
say
that
I
am
no
reactionary.
I
believe
intensely
in
progress,
but
progress
will
not
conic
under
the
present
dyirig
arid
decadent
regime.
