We
have
expressed

own
preference
and
will
say
no
more
except
this

men.
That
is
no
last-minute
soft
soap.
We
could
not
be
less
interested
in
that
commodity.
It
just
happens
that
each
party
is
well
represented
in
this
riding.
Without
knowing
all
the
candidates
in
'other
constituencies,
we
can
at
least
say
that
they,
too,
have
had
enough
courage
to
face
the
electoral
firing-squad.
This
duality
alone
is
enough
to
make
them
worthy
of
public
respect.
What
remains
now
is
the
most
important
part
cf
all.
There
is
no
point
in
blowing
a
trumpet
for
democracy.
We
know
we
have
it
and
Communists
excepted
are
glad
of
it.
But
unless
we
value
our
power
to
vote,
the
whole
thing
will
become
slightly
phoney.
Control
of
our
affairs
will
be
taken'over
by
organized
groups
with
plans
of
their
own,
and
democracy
will
be
just
a
nice
word
for
a
dirty
mess.
-
Prevention
of
this
is
simple.
Tomorrow,
for
instance,
all
each
voter
has
to
do
is
to
mark
three
figures
in
well-considered
order
on
the
ballot
sheet.
That
will
keep
B.C.'s
democracy
working,
which
is
an
important
part
of
the
whole.

ABOVE
ALL
Looking
back
on
my
31
years
as
a
working
newspaperman
in
Canada,
I
cannot
recall
any
provincial
election
where
there
was
a
better
spirit,
and
where
all
leaders
stuck
closer
to
public
issues.
In
particular,
I
want
to
make
my
personal
bow
to
Deane
Fin-layson,
Arnold
Webster
and
Arthur
Laing.
All
three
of
these
men
were
thrust
into
the
position
as
leaders
suddenly
and
not
by
self-choice.
All
three
have
done
well
very
well.
B.C.
can
be
proud
of
them
all.
DEANE
FINLAYSON
has
done
the
utmost
that
any
Conservative
party
leader
could
have
widest
possible
public
support.
But
within
the
limits
Imposed
by
those
handicaps
Mr.
Webster
has
done
exceptionally
well.
The
