The minister has given the cue and we are grateful for' his active interest. It is now to carry on the campaign to the successful culmination of getting Prince Rupert equipped with the. full facilities for handling flying by land and sea, day and night, and removing this from the position of being the only city in Canada of its size, importance and potential which is so lacking in this important branch of modern transportation. It is not necessary for us to repeat the need. We are already notorious through the lack. The By-Election QRINCE RUPERT electors seem to prefer old i hands to new. That could be the conclusion from yesterday's civic by-election. Two veterans are back on the aldermanic board, ousting newer and younger men. Public indifference, as indicated in the comparatively light vote, might have had some bearing on the outcome. However, the majorities in each case were substantial even though the by-election vote was only about half tha,t in the December general election. Mr. Glassey and Mr. Daggett, although they were defeated in the December mayoralty contest, still enjoy public esteem and confidence. It was a vagary of political fancy that an aider-manic aspirant, who headed a poll little over a month ago, should suffer defeat now. But- elections are always unpredictable. Many people fee that this by-election was quite unnecessary and arose from circumstances which should have been obviated. That feeling might, indeed, have influenced the voting of some or tended to disinterestedness. In any event, the air has been cleared now and it is to be hoped that the city's business will proceed with dispatch and the best measure of harmony. hangs out the "8old Out" sign ger, there was distress, anxiety Ing of evidence of subversive ac- A NEW INGLIS WAS' With f.MturM & machine caa ' Save SM nvy NOW 1 159.11 ...
