Torrtorrow
is
election
day
in
our
province
when
close
to
800,000
people
have
the
opportunity
to
exercise
their
democratic
right
of
voting
secretly
for
their
choice
of
government;
Never
before
in
B.C.'s
history
has
an
election
meant
so
much
because
this
province
is
on
the
threshold
of
the
biggest
development
in
Canada.
The
men
in
whose
hands
the
future
of
our
province
lies
in
the
next
four
years
are
those
we
wfll
choose
in
majority
at
the
polls
tomorrow.
The
biggest
issue
in
Ihe
election
is
whether
we
desire
to
stand
by
the
tried
and
tested
free
enterprise
form
of
government,
or
whether
we
want
to
gamble
on
experiments
in
socialism,
with
government
control
of
our
industrial
life.
On
this
control
depends
the
prosperity
of
the
whole
province
and,
in
turn,
that
of
almost
every
individual
in
it.
Socialism
and
state
control
may
have
its
place
as
a
last
resort
where
a
country's
economy
is
strife-ridden.
Dut
such
a
condition
cannot
ie
applied
to
B.C.
The
choice
for
a
stable
and
sound
government
which
will
direct
the
future
of
B.C.
for
our
prosperity
lies
between
the
Liberals
and
the
Conservatives,
as
we
see
it.
Both
are
pledged
to
free
enterprise
and
in
a
position
to
sustain
the
boom'
now
resounding
in
B.C.
How
will
we
choose
between
them?
We
should
forget
the
minor
differences
in
their
party
platforms
and
look
unto
our
candidates.

the
