VOL. 13, NO. 16 Alice Arm, B. O, Saturday, October 21, 1938 5 cents each. T. W. Falconer Makes A Plain Statement Regarding Stand T. W. Falconer, the Independent candidate iu ihe forthcoming election opened his campaign at Alice Arm on Saturday evening, when he gave a brilliant and instructive address to a well rilled hall. Unlike some of his opponents, he discussed purely provincial affairs. He talked on every phase of provincial political matters, with a freedom that convinced his audience that he was thoroughly conversant with them and left no doubt as to where he stood in regard to party politics. The meeting was opened by E. Moss, chairman, who called upon Mr. T. J. Shenton, C. C. F. candidate to address, the meeting if he so wished. Mr. Shenton gave a short address with his old-time vigor which was appreciated. In opening his address, which was the first of his campaign, Mr. Falconer stated that very vital provincial questions confronted us today, and these would never be solved as long as politicians ran about the country slinging mud at each other and offering no real solution to our problems. Politics he said are subject to -changes the same as everything else and I believe that the people are sick and tired of the old time speeches promising reduction of taxes, large appropriations for districts, and anything else to gain votes. The Provincial Government, be said, cannot improve world conditions, all they can do is to impress upon the Federal Government the need of immediate action on their part to help towards trade recovery. In referring to the Tolmie administration of the past five years, Mr. Falconer reminded his audience that they were in office during the severest trade depression the world had seen in modem times, and that they were handicapped by party politics. If, he said, the Liberals were by any chance eleoted on November 2nd. I would give them just one sespion before they went to pieces, for they could do.no better under present conditions. The people as a whole, he said are heartily tired of party politics and he appealed to his hearers to forget their party affiliations. Let us get behind men who are broad- minded; who have new ideas and who are working solely to better conditions generally, instead of those whose main object is to strengthen their own political party. ln offering myself as a straight Independent candidate. I wish to assure you, the speaker said, that I will do my utmost to ohange the Legislature from a burlesque show or squabbling assemblage over matters of absolutely no importance to ah orderly plaoe of business for the serious affairs of our province. In the past each political party has used the Legislature to further party interests and the welfare of' The Anglican Church Holds Social Evening A most enjoyable card party and Bocial evening took plaoe in the Parish Hall of the Anglican Church on Friday Ootober 13th. there being a large attendance. Whist players filled a number of tables, the prize winners being: Ladies First. Mrs. Ed. Kitchen; Consolation, Mrs, D. Evans: Men's First, tie between M. Tompkins and Jack MoDonald, the latter winning the cut; Men's Consolation, E, Kitchen. After refreshments had been served a pleasant session of music and singing was sp?nt. the province has been of secondary importance. It is time for a change and an Independent Government will see that it is changed. Mr. Falooner scored the patronage system adopted by past governments, and stated that it works havoc with the efficiency of public officials and public works. The patronage system he said is found in every district in the province and the handling of government affairs is often conducted by the local party machine, to the detriment of everyone. The remedy foi- this disease is to abolish party politics and to elect men who are independent enough to be free from party politics. I would be iu favor he said of placing all government in the hands of competent officials free from any political party interference. I would also favor tenders being called for, when purchasing government supplies, thus affecting a large saving. The speaker voiced his opinion that when mine inspectors were appointed in this district that they should be men with experience in hard rock mines and not from coal mining areas. The laws regarding dust prevention aud sanitation in our mines should be strictly enforced, he said, and that miners suffering from tuberculosis should receive benefits from the Workmen's Compensation Board. It could also be arranged that pios- peotors injured in their occupation receive compensation for injury, and also that assessment work ou mineral claims should uot be strictly enforced during periods of depression. Wild promises are being made to the electorate, Mr. Falconer said. Mr. Pattullo stated some time ago that he would raise four hundred million dollars, to give employment, and to be used on a public works scheme. He does uot tell us where he is going to get it, or how he expeots to pay it back. He seems to forget that at a five per cent, rate of interest, there would be twenty millions of dollars of interest charges added to our already nine millions each year, making a total of almost thirty millions of interest charges each year, this would be a great deal more than our total revenue. It is just such wildcat schemes as this, and the wild borrowing orgy Continued on Page 4 W.J. Asselstine Reviews Many Subjects And Problems I In a rapid-fire, versatile speech, frequently punctuated with humor, W. J. Asselstine, Liberal candidate for Atlin riding, made it plain to a well filled hall at the Alice Arm Hotel on Tuesday evering, that as an orator he had no apologies to make. His speech alone showed that he fully understood the different problems confronting this district; also that he was familiar with parliamentary affairs, including needed social legislation, fostering of the mining industry and creating of payrolls. As no chairman had heen arranged for, Mrs. J. Wheatley was the unanimous choice. Before opening the meeting, however, she explained that she undertook this duty solely as an act of courtesy to an opponent. In opening his address Mr. Asselstine explained that three years ago he had visited Alice Arm add had several friends here. In regard to his nationality he said he had been labelled almost everything by some of his opponents. But let me tell you, he said that I am a Canadian, born at Renfrew, Ontario. My •father and -my. mother were Canadians and my ancestors emigrated from the state of Pennsylvania in the year 1776. I have been a Liberal since I was 15 years of age. I am, however, not interested in political party labels, but advocate a good honest common sense government. He sketched his career from the time he worked in a quarry in Ontario .at an early age. Later he worked underground in the Cobalt mines Ontario, acquiring knowledge as he went along until he joined the staff at the Premier mine 12 years ago, and eventually became superintendent of the concentrating mill there. In reviewing the duties of the resident mining engineer for this district, Mr. Asselstine said that Dr. J. T. Mandy was the most capable engineer procurable, and the most hard worked. He had an enormous territory to cover and owing to the short summers it was not possible to examine all mining properties. If I am elected as your representative, on November 2nd. he said, I will strongly advocate that Dr. Mandy be given more assistance. There is at present more-money spent on the preservation of game than is spent by the Mines Department. In order to foster local mining activity Mr. Asselstine stated that he would advocate that a survey be made of Alice Arm mining properties with a view of installing a small concentrating mill to bring them to a production stage, A 5-ton mill, he said, would cost approximately $6,500 and a 10-ton mill, $10,000. In reply to a question, he stated that he had no use for the prospector who did his mining around a Continued on page 4 Mr.H. W. M. Rolston Explains Political Platform Speaking to a fair sized audience at the Alice Arm Hotel on Friday evening, H. W. M. Rolston of Stewart, Independent candidate, gave an address lasting an hour and a half on issues having relation to present politics and world conditions, stressing in particular the planks in his own platform. There was no chairman, as he said he wished to make the talk informal, and on a question and answer basis. Messrs. H, F. Kergin and T. J. Shenton were on the speaker's platform. Mr. Rolston devoted a large part of his speech to the currency question, particularly the relation between silver and gold, and said that the crime of demonetization had robbed the Orient of half its purchasing power. He stressed the importance of the remonetization of silver and showed that the amount of gold currency was inadequate to meet the demands made upon it. There is not, he said, enough gold in the world to pay the national debts, forgetting the principal. No nation can, or ever has fought a war on the gold standard said Mr. Rolston. The world was in chaos and civilization endangered and the manipulation of the worlds' currencies, particularly gold, bore a direct relation to this. He spoke in favor of the nationalization of Canadian currency free of political, control. Coming nearer home, Mr. Rolston presented himself as being most familiar with the conditions and necessities of the Atlin riding. He quoted at length from reports of the Public Works Department, showing the millions of dollars that had been spent in southern ridings, and that the records show that the most that can be said for them is the money was wasted. Other ridings have received relatively- far more than Atlin, although the people of Atlin pay more per capita than the people of Vancouver. Why is this asked Mr. Rolston, simply because we have been good trained puppies. He stated that he was running strictly as an Independent, and that his campaign funds, other than what he had put in himself, were loaned to him by a friend to be repaid without interest. Among the important planks in his platform, as stressed by Mr. Rolston, were the remonetization of silver, national control of currency and the elimination of campaign funds. The necessary roads and trails adequate to develop the resources of Atlin, particularly its minerals, was also stressed. The speaker closed by stating that if sent to Victoria he was ready at all times to work for the best interests of the people of the province, and would support any measure of merit brought before the legislature. Upon the conclusion of Mr. Roi- ston's address an invitation was extended to Mr. Kergin and Mr. Shenton to address the audience. Mr. Kergin made a few felicitous remarks acknowledging the courtesy. Mr. Shenton spoke more at length, touching the issues of the C. C. F. camgaign. BIRTH AT ANYOX Bom, to Mr. and Mrs. J. Pavich on Wednesday, October 11th. at the Anyox General Hospital, a daughter. W. J. Asselstine Gives Address To Anyox Audience A large number of people attended the meeting held in the Becreation Hall, Anyox, on Friday the 13th) to hear an address by Mr. W. J. Asselstine, Liberal candidate for the Atlin constituency in the forthcoming election. Mr. Chas. Harman, President of the Anyox Liberal Association, occupied the chair. Iii introducing the speaker, Mr. Harman called attention to ihe fact, that, all reports to the contrary notwithstanding, Mr. Asselstine was born in Renfrew, Ontario and at an early age worked as a mucker in the Cobalt mines. From this humble beginning he had risen to his present position us mill superintendent at the Premier mine. In his opening remarks, Mr. Asselstine stated that he had lost all the political data which he had prepared in the recent boating mishap, consequently be was unable to quote figures with any accuracy. He stated that he had always stood for either liberalism or labor, and was a firm believer in the policies of the Liberal Party. It had been said that he knew very little about conditions in this district or the problems of its people, because he was just a mill man. The mill, however, teaches us this: that if you put eight dollar ore in at the top, and spend two dollars putting that ore through, you must get ten dollars or more as a result if you wish to make anything. We have been putting into that concentrator at Victoria some high grade ore in the shape of politicians, but by the time th»y got through writing political requisitions on the public warehouses, the returns on the product were nil I am, he said, interested in this particular section where I am living, because our problems start right at home. We live in a district which is wholly dependent on mining, aud the sooner we can get people to realize that the better. We have had no mining men at Victoria since the Hon. Wm. Sloan was minister of mines. If we expect to get action, he said, for the development of the mining industry of this seotion of tbe country in which we live we must send a mining representative to Victoria who is conversant with mining. Continued on page 2 Ballot Box Distribution Is Carefully Planned To distribute the ballot-boxes throughout the Atlin constituency and have them at their several places in time for the election on November 2nd. requires careful calculation and planning. Mr. W. S. Orr, clerk to the Returning Officer for the district, left on Wednesday for Prince Rupert with six ballot-boxes. These go north to Spruce Creek, Surprise Lake, Atlin, O'Donnell Creek, Telegraph Creek and Dease Lake. For the first four of these a messenger from Carcross, meets the boat at Skagway, goes back to Carcross, up the lake to Atlin, from which point the boxes are distributed The boxes for Telegraph Creek and Dease Lake go by gas-boat from Wrangel to the former place, the box for Dease Lake having to be taken by a messenger on foot from Telegraph Creek, the journey occupying four days each way.

Only Eleven More Days Left For Candidates The five local political candidates are commencing- to speed up. and well they might for only eleven more days are left for each one to expound to the bewildered electorate, why he should be the chosen one to lead us out of the slough of depression, of low prices and low wages and establish peace, plenty and prosperity instead of want, worry and woe, as at present prevails. During the past two weeks a lot of campaign spade work has been done by all the candidates, but a lot of vote digging remains to be carried out and judging by the increasing enthusiasm now shown the last lone vote will be brought to the surface and tagged long before the morning of November 2nd. Except for his visit to Stewart last week, where he held a big meeting, H. F. Kergin has not extended himself to any great extent, but eleven days is a lot of time for Bert. He can probably do more real electioneering in one day than most candidates can accomplish in a week, and we predict that before another week has passed everyone will fully realize that he is very much in the field. Our member at Victoria for the past thirteen years has won many a hard fought campaign, and his opponents are well aware that he is reserving himself for the next eleven days, in which time a lot can happen to change the outlook. the socialist ticket for he has cer. tainly painted a pretty picture. T. W. Falconer, the Independent candidate, is surprising both his friends and opponents by the amount of energy he is throwing into the campaign. He is a stranger in his home town these days. Two long visits were spent at Anyox recently and following his Alice Arm address he jumped on the bout for Stewart and Premier on Monday, As time goes on T. W's hopes rise higher and higher as promises of support are tendered both from near home and the far off places. From present appearances he will be a Ion way from the bottom of the list when the ballot count is made. H. W. M. Ralston, on whom a limited number pin their hopes, has spent a lot of time recently in the Anyox and Alice Arm district. The Stewart Independent has met a large number of people and done a lot of talking, for "believe it or not" H. W. Mi is a hustler when it comes to getting acquainted, and as for talking, he just keeps going right along. His opponents unkindly say that the more he talks the more votes for them. But perhaps they are jealous. T. J. Shenton after being on the war trail here for nearly two weeks left for a hurried visit home on Monday. The C. C. F. warrior shows no sign of weakening, as he explains to everyone he meets "Why a change must take place." The former Inspector of Mines is certain that our future is safe in the hands of the C. C. F. leaders, but it is a question if the electors are as sure. However, it won't be Mr. T. J. Shenton's fault if they don't vote | W. J. Asselstine, comes last on the list. We did this purposely, not because we wish to dim the limelight on him, but because Bill met with a severe campaign reverse coming down the Portland Canal last week. A reverse that gave the others a big lead on him. He lost everything he had with him in the Portland Canal, but his life, and that wasn't very secure for a time. But like the good Liberal he is the premier mill man from the Premier mine didn't let a reverse bother him. He came right back and on Friday delivered a speech at Anyox with a vigor that hinted he was determined to make up for lost time. The Liberal standard bearer is an eloquent versatile speaker, well versed in political and mining affairs, and can explain his points with unusual clarity. He is making a lot of friends in this district which means votes. W. J. Asselstine Gives Address To Anyox Audience Continued from page 1 The are also questions to be dealt with from an educational and health standpoint. Education, Mr. Asselstine said, is suffer- very greatly in this province. The salaries of teachers have been cut so much that it is now very disheartening for them. We should give greater attention to our educational problems, and see that the young man who goes out today is better equipped for the battle of life than was the young man of twenty years ago. We hear a great deal of loose talk from many people about parties. The Liberal party introduced a motion recently whereby more freedom will be given to members. The idea of dancing to the party whip whenever a vote is taken is not right the speaker said. A man should be given the privilege of voting according to his own judgement. In outlining the Liberal programme for improving conditions, the speaker said that tho Liberal party had formulated the idea of an Economic Council, which will comprise a combination of experts in the various branches of industry throughout the province, so that first hand information can always be available. I can assure you, he said, that if I am sent to Victoria I shall see that not only the mining industry, but the men who are working iu that industry, shall be represented at these Councils. At that time it will be definitely disclosed as to whether I am a company ''set-up" or not, Mr. Asselstine read a telegram which he had received the previous evening from Hon. T. D. Pattulo, regarding Mr. Kergin's entry into the field, which read: "I am sorry Mr. Kergin has entered contest. You are the official candidate of the Liberal party and I bespeak for you the support of all Liberals and the electorate generally. Further, I believe that you are particularly well qualified to represent a mining constituency." T. D. Pattulo. In closing his speech, Mi'. Asselstine stated that if elected he would work faithfully and honestly in in the interests of Atlin constituency, and come back once a year to tell what he had tried to do and receive any recommendations his onstituents may have to make.

Although the exhibits were not quite so numerous as last year, there were a great many beautiful and interesting exhibits. Originality, patience and artistry were disclosed in many of the items shown. A fine display of paintings, drawings, and photography was an important attraction, much of this work being executed with a. skill almost amounting to genius. The school children's section was specially good, some splendid examples of maps, drawing and penmanship being shown. A display of artificial flowers drew much admiration. Needlework and embroidery vied with lace and crochet work for attention, in all these departments there were many lovely examples. A knitted Afghan was well executed and a decorated bedspread was colorful and attracti\e. To enumerate the different kinds of work shown would be a difficult task, hut each piece reflected skill and patience and roused a feeling of envy in those who viewed it. "Some fine examples of woodwork carving and fretwork were shown, among these being an aeroplane, m inlaid workbox, a set of dolls urniture, a magazine box and a miniature breakfast table and chairs complete with an original idea in a lamp. Two heads moulded from plaster of paris showed no small amount of skill and three pieces carved from natural woods were the product of much patience and cleverness. A display of rope knots by the Boy Scouts, who challenged some of the visitors to name the various twists and turns, was well done, and a dictionary dating back to 1791 was a real curio. The committee of the A. C. L. who had charge of the exhibition, and their volunteer helpers, deserve praise for the successful carrying out of the project.

As previously announced, I am in the field at the request of a large number of Electors of the Atlin Riding as a straight Independent Candidate, attached to neither Party, Leader or Group, and with perfect freedom to act on each issue that comes up for debate, on its merits. If I am honored by being elected on November 2nd. I do not intend to go to Victoria with a chip on my shoulder with the intention of quarreling with the government in power, no matter what party or brand it may be. My earnest endeavor will be to help as much as possible to lift the cloud of depression which has hung over this Province and the Atlin Constituency since 1929. The first great effort must be expended on the Party System and the associated "Patronage" decease. I cannot believe that any British Columbia Government can get down to the real business of the Province until such a time as the political battles, which last during the whole of each session, are eradicated, and the members elect to join hands in the ranks of harmony and good government. We all realize that the problems confronting the incoming government are great, and it will take lots of team work, good level heads and sound thinking to improve conditions. There will be forty-seven members elected and we cannot afford to vote for even one that will not be sincere in his efforts on behalf of the Province. We have five candidates in the Atlin Riding and I would ask each elector to think seriously before marking his or her ballot on election day. The record and qualification of each candidate is fairly well known throughout the district and I sincerely hope that Atlin will be fortunate in the selection made. Yours sincerely, T. W.

Asselstine Reviews Many Subjects Continued from page 1 hot stove in the winter and the sun bench in the summer, and then wailed about the hard lot of the poor prospector. Neither was he indebted to the prospector for a livlihood for if there was no mining- he would have followed some other line of business. 1 wish to make it plain he said that if 1 am elected on November 2nd. that I will do my own thinking while at Victoria and my every effort will be for the benefit of this district. Mr. Asselstine then extended an invitation to H. F. Kergin to take a seat on the platform, and said that Mr. Kergin and himself had been friends for many years and if Mr. Kergin had received the nomination he would have supported him. The speaker discussed the unemployment problem and relief work, and stated that he favored a honest day's work for the government with a honest day's pay, and said that for many years it had been the custom for those working for the government to turn the working hours into a permanent holiday. There is no reason for this state of affairs, and he also criticized government work done in the north. I will now throw the meeting open for the discussion of any subject and anyone is welcome to speak Mr. Asselstine stated. Mr. Morris Petersen accepted the invitation and criticized the Liberal government of 1918 for the present stagnation of mining locally, when they passed special legislation regarding the Dolly Varden Mine. In fact before he finished he had condemned almost everything and everybody except himself. Mr. H. F. Kergin in defending the stand taken by the Liberal government in 1918 stated that their action was fully justified. Thousands of dollars owing in wages and other accounts were promptly paid and it must be remembered that great pressure was brought to bear on the government at that time by the workers and others who could not get paid. In reviewing his past term of office of 13 years, Mr. Kergin said that he was not apologizing for any work done locally by the Liberal government. Every application for work was fully considered and the money spent here had been spent wisely and full value obtained for every dollar. This could not be said under the regime of the Conservative government. Mr. Asselstine concluded his address by criticizing the policy of the C. C. F, party. Their policy he said, is purely socialistic, and is a transplantation from Russia. When any political party can dictate to you or I how we are going to earn our livelihood, I say, when that time comes it is going to be too bad for all of us. The C. C. F. organization originated on the prairies, he said, and we hear a lot about the poor downtrodden, farmers, but did you ever hear them say anything about the poor hired man, who works from 12 to 16 hours a day. Not a thing, but I can tell you something, he said, for I have worked for these prairie farmers who have organized the C. C. F. and they have no use for the workers only when they want to use them. After discussing Canadian citi- zenshih laws, the meeting closed with the singing of "God Save the King." Tennis Consolation Singles Won By Mrs. Oatman Taking advantage of a spell of fine weather on Monday afternoon last, Miss Flora Cavers and Mrs. B. R. Oatman, the finalists in the Consolation Singles of the tennis championship series, played two sets of the final, and completed the game on Wednesday morning. Mrs. Oatman won 5-7, 6-4, 6-3. Miss Cavers had defeated Miss Cloke to enter the final and Mrs. L. McKay had defaulted to Mrs. Oatman. If the weather improves sufficiently it is quite probable that the Men's Consolation games will be completed. This Is The Herald's Political Issue During the past week four political meetings were held in the district. The result is a large amount of political news this week, and we hope the supporters of the candidates and our many readers will appreciate our efforts. Next week we do not expect such a large amount of politioal news, as most of the meetings held will be too late for publication. Developing, Printing and Enlarging. All work returned on following boat. Wrathall's Photo Finishing, Prince Rupert. T. W. Falconer Makes Plain Statement Re. Stand Continued from Page 1 that has led us into this depression. The speaker criticized the present method under the party system of deciding upon their legislation in caucus behind closed doors. Under a non-party government he said, all legislation would be threshed out on the floor of the House and published in the press, and a great deal of lobbying and jockeying by private individuals and big companies would be done away with. I firmly believe, he said that our social legislation should be extended to include health insurance and also unemployment insurance, just as soon as it does not work an extreme hardship on the taxpayer. In discussing the unemployment problem, Mr. Falconer was, well aware of the vital necessity of solving it. There are, he said, several plans; namely, continuauoe of the present dole system, a big public works scheme, unemployment in surance, or shorter working hours. The latter seems to be the mos popular, and it may possibly take place. He reviewed the other candidates in the field, and reminded his au dience that they could not expert any change for the better in provincial government affairs if dyed- in-the-wool party politicians constituted the next government. r~~ ==1 Annual Hallowe'en Bante HELD UNDER THE AUSPICES OF The Anyox Hospital Women's Auxiliary WILL BE HELD ON MONDAY, OCTOBER 30th.

You are the official candidate of the Liberal Party and I bespeak for you the support of all Liberals and the electorate generally. Further, I believe that you are particularly well qualified to represent a mining constituency. T. D. Pattullo. The above telegram removes all doubt as to Mr. Asselstine's standing with the Liberal Party.
