C, Tuesday, January 20, 1903.\nNo. 23\nAn  Enthusiastic McOallum\nand Trotter Meeting Saturday Night.\nA well attended mass meeting of\nthe electors of the West ward was\nheld in the hall over Hodson's store\nlast Saturday night. A number of\nladies were present. On motion of\nNeil McCallum, seconded by R. W.\nTrotter; E. Spragget acted as chairman of the meeting.\nMr. McCallum was called upon\nfof the first speech. He said it gave\nhim great pleasure to address such\nan enthusiastic audience of representative citizens. He had reluctantly entered the race, and would not\nhave done so if two acceptable candidates willing to serve could have\nbeen found in the ward, as he had\npreferred to be absolutely free; but,\nsince he had been forced to enterthe\ncontest, he was in it to win. He\nenumerated some of the public improvements that stood to the credit\nof the Columbia council, which had\nbeen successfully carried out with\nsplendid enterprise under great\nfiuancial difficulties. One of these\nwas the magnificent bridge spanning\nthe Kettle river, the only wagon\nbridge on the entire river that had\nstood the test of the high water last\nspring without being washed out or\neamaged. It had been highly commended by thc provincial bridge inspector. Thc location'of thc V.,V. it\nE. station on the ground where it now\nstands had also required hard work.\nHe had pointed out the exact spot\nwhere it now stands to the ollieials\nroad when they had first decided to\nerect a depot in this city. The water\nand light systems, and the good\nwork done in arriving at the amalgamation aggreenient, were cited\nas properly being due to thc good\njudgment of the present city ollieials.\nHe had no platform. How many\nplatforms are ever carried out? The\nbest platform was justice and common sense. He was pround to say\nthat Columbia was going out of exj\nistence free from debt. Not only that,\nbut it possessed valuable assets in\ncollectable taxes. He hoped the\nfinancial condition of Graad Forks\nwould prove as satisfactory, but, judging from current reports, he feared\nthere were goods grounds for believing the fact be otherwise. He\nfavored the opening up of Bridge\nstreet if it could be done without too\ngreat   a   burden   being saddled on\nratepayers. A report having been\ncirculated in Grand Forks that he\nfavpred thc selling of thc water and\nlight plants, he wished to emphatically deny the rumor, as he would\nstrenuously oppose such a move. In\nconclusion, he said Mr.. Trotter and\nhimself had the best claim on the\noffice, as they were residents of the\nward.    [Applause.]\nMr. Stoess appeared for Mr. Morrison, j He tuought Morrison\nwas a reliable and straightforward man, and repeated the imaginary grievances urged against the\nColumbia council whed the vote\nwas taken on the debenture by-laws\nlast summer. He said that money\nhad been wasted in the bridge.\nMr. McCallnm\u2014Because r,he council would not pay an engineer $600.\nMr. Trotter said he didn't feel\nout of place facing such a representative audience. He had entered the\ncontest unwillingly, but now that he\npas in it, he intended to win. He\nhad always been a friend of Morrison's, but he would vote for Neil\nMoCallum. He said Morrison,\nwhen elected alderman last year,\nshould have taken the oath of office\nand then resigned, giving the city a\nchance to elect a successor to fill the\nvacancy. At the present time we\ndidn't need to borrow a man to\nrepresent the West ward. Morrison\nhad worked secretly against the debenture by-laws. Had these bylaws been defeated, his (Trotter's)\nproperty would have been offered\nfor sale the day after at 20 cents on\nthe dollar. There was an organized\nconspiracy to defeat him because he\ncouldn't be controlled. They knew\nthey couldn't defeat McCallum, but\nthey thought Trotter would\nprove an easy victim. He would\nnet independently in thc new council. He had spent $7000 in cash in\nthe ward, and was one of the largest\nproperty owners in this end of town.\nThe tin-horn element was down on\nhim, but luckily we had no class of\ncitizens of that description in the\nWest ward. He was surprised at\nche opposition offered against him,\nas he had never realized that lie\nwas half tas important as they tried\nto make him out. As long as thc\nDominion and provincial laws were\nenforced, nc would work for no hardships on the liquor dealers if they\nconducted their business iii a propc\nmanner. He favored a wise, conservative expenditure of the public\nfunds, and if elected he would do\nthe very best he could for the\npeople.\nMr. McCallum, replying to Stoess'\ncriticisms, said that the chief reason\nStoess' had advanced why Morrison\n[CONTINUED ON 8KCO.NU PAGE.]\nPresident Miner States That\na Dividend Will be Paid\nThis Year.\nA Montreal dispatch says: A meeting of the shareholders of the Granby Consolidated Mining company\nwas held on thc 15th inst., when\nfive new directors were appointed\nnnd President Minerannounced that,\nthrough the sale of 125,000 shares\nof treasury stock at $4 per share, the\ncompany had been practically freed\nfrom; debt, and that unless something out of the ordinary occurs a\ndividend would be paid during the\ncurrent year. Mr. Miner stated\nthat two new furnaces would be established by August, and a full\nequipment be completed by March\nor April following. Week before\nlast four furnaces had treated 10,115\ntons of ore at a cost, including\nfreight and commission, of $2.65, a\nfigure which, he believed, in the\nnear future, would be reduced to\n$2.50. The new directors elected\nare John Stanton, copper statistician;\nWilliam H. Nicholls, president of\nthe Nicholls Chemical company;\nJacob Langeloth, president of the\nAmerican Metal company; George\nM. Luther, general'manager of the\nNicholls Chemical company of New\nYork, and Clement S. Houghton,\nfinancial agent, of Boston.\nTHE LABOR CANDIDATES\nMessrs. Creitz's and Foulston's\nmass meeting, in Federal Union hall\nlast night, was very largely attended,\nthe seating capacity of the big hall\nbeing insufficient to aceomdate all\nthose present,\nMr. Creitz reviewed the history of\nlabor legislation in the province.\nThe interests ofthe laborer and the\nmerchant were identical. | When\nthe workingnian was prosperous the\nwhole community was prosperous.\nHe had promised no one any position. All classes of citizens would\nbe treated alike, according to qualification. Preference would lie given\nto men who could not be bought or\nbribed. He believed in improving\nthe city whenever possible, and favored opening up Bridge street.\nHe would endeavor to reduce the\ntaxation one-half, lie was opposed\nto gambling, He didn't mean that\nthe gambling halls would be closed\non the ground floor, and allowed to\nopen up on the roofs of houses, but\nthat gambling would be banished\nfrom the city. He was proud of\nhis temperance pledge. He favored\nhaving labor troubles settled by the\nballot box. Jn dosing, he took up\nthe Chinese question, The day\nMould come, he said, when the agricultural industry of this valley would\nbe carried on almost exclusively by\nthe Chinese.\nA number of aldermanic candidates also spoke, but their were, in\nthe main,a repetition of the speeches\nat the citizens' meeting. All were\nin hearty sympathy with organized\nlabor.\nMr. Burrell spoke at length. He\ntook a firmer stand on the moral reform platform than at the previous\nmeeting,\nMr. Cumings, in the course of a\nlengthy and able speech, said that if\nhe had the power to do so, he would\nlike to raise the liquor licence to\n$100 per year.\nSUNSET SAUNTERINGS\nTwo more engine have been placed\nin commission on this division of\nthe C. P. R.\nMartin Burrell will address the\nelectors of Grand Forks in Biden's\nhall tomorrow night. All candidates for civic honors are cordially\ninvited to be present, and will be\ngiven an opportunity to speak.\nAt the request of a large number of the electors of the Westward,\nNeil McCallum and and R. W.\nTrotter have consented to become\naldermanic candidates from that\nward, and respectfully solicit the\nsupport and influence of the ratepayers. If elected they ean be depended upon to work in the interest of the whole city.\nThe local hockey club, accompanied by forty enthusiasts, went to\nPhoenix aaturday evening to play a\ngame with the Payroll City Puck-\nchasers.

Hammar is busily engaged\nthese days driving nails in his political coffin.        i\nMr. Holland's job failed because\nhis Noose wasn't strong enough. Take\nanother lesson from Mr. McCarter.\nAs stated at the meeting Saturday\nnight,' the West , ward doesn't\nneed to borrow a man to represent it\nin the new council.\nIt is a matter of much regret among\nour citizens that the publication of\nthe News-Gazette was not delayed until Mr. Holland could complete his\njob.\nThe reason assigned as to the cause\nof the delay in the appearance of the\nlast issue of the News-Gazette is that\nthc manager was too busy doing \"job\"\nwork.\nseconded by Aid. Matheson. Those\npresent were: Aid. Gaw, Hammar,\nSheads and Matheson. Messrs. Gaw,\nSherds and Hammar, who are seeking\nre-election, should explain.\nOne of the best reasons why Morrison should not be elected, is because\nhe, is. supported by Holland and the\ntwo or three friends who have not yet\ndiscarded the latter gentleman.\nThe first problem the new council\nwill be called upon to grapple with will\nprobably be an advertising bill from\nthe gentleman who now holds the\ndual positions of mayor of Grand\nForks and city printer.\nMr- N. McLellan is an energetic\nand successful business man. A\nman who manages kis private affairs\nsuccessfully generally makes a faithful\npublic servant.\nIt is a matter of surprise to everybody attending the public meetings as\nto where Aid. Hammar could have\nmastered his choice vocabulary of\nBowery slang.\nWhy should the Hot Air road have\nbeen presented 83500 bonds to which\nit was not entitled? These bonds were\nvoted at the council meeting held on\nDec. 22, on motion of Aid. Hammar,\nP. T. McCallum, the honest and\npopular pioneer, still leads in the\nmayoralty race. He will get the solid\nvoqe of the old-timers. If his friends\nwill stand by their guns, his election\nis certain.\nIt is easy to make promises of reform before election. But how many\nof these promises are made in good\nfaith? The aldermanic candidates\nwho are saeking re-election in the East\nward should be judged by the records\nthey have during the past year.\nMr. Stoess stated at the meeting\nSaturday night that the reason why\nMorrison refused to take the oath of\noffice last year unless guaranteed a\nsalary for his services in advance, was\nthat he (Morrison) had had good reasons to believe that debentures would\nbe voted. Any ten-year-old school\nboy in the Dominion knows that debentures are not voted for the purpose\nof paying salaries. But then Mr.\nMorrison is not a ten-year-old school\nboys.\nAssaying candidates by the Hot\nAir process has proven as unreliable\nas the uews sent out from this city\nlast summer concerning that wonderful road.-\nMb. Burrell has unmasked, and\nhe now enters the civic contest as\nthe avowed candidate of Mr. Holland and the Grand Forks Townsite\ncompany.\nII-1 EST WARD\n[CONTINUED FROM FIRST PAGE.]\nshould be elected, was that he (Morrison) had beautified his place of\nresidence. Tho bridge had been\nthoroughly inspected on the 5th day\nof June last by Mr. Gamble, and\nhad been pronounced satisfactory in\nevery respect. Furthermore, it had\nreceived a very severe test by the\nhigh water last spring. Mr. Gamble had only changed his report\nafter he had had a long consultation with Stoess, probably because\nthe latter had not been paid $600.\nWe had an excellent bridge for thc\nthe money spent.\nMr. Cumings said he had lived in\nthe yalley six years. The mayor\nand council should serve free dur>-\ning the coming year, and they must\nbe as economical with the city funds\nas the present council has been\nlavish. He was opposed to a reduction of the liquor licence. He\nscored the present council for delivering to the Hot Air road $3500\ndepot debentures, which had never\nbeen earned. If he had acted as\nMayor Holland has acted he should\nexpect to be tarred and feathered\nand sent out of j town a-straddle a\nrail.\nP. P. McCallum also made a short\naddress.\nIf you  want all the local news,\nread The Evening Sun.\nTO THE ELECTORS\nOf the Municipality of the\nCity of Grand Forks, as\nNow Incorporated.\nLadies and Gentlemen:\nAt the urgent request of a large\nnumber of the electors of the municipality, I have decided to allow\nmy name to be placed in nomination for Mayor at the forthcoming\nelection.

We believe these principles\nshould, and will, appeal to evory -unprejudiced voter who appreciates\nhonest, representative, and moral government.\nThe two planks in our platform which deal with Sunday closing and\npublicgamblingwill, no doubt, meetwithconsiderableopposition. However,\nwe would sooner be defeated advocating good principles, though unpopular,\nthan be elected on a platform, the principles of which have a tendency to\ndegrade, rather than elevate mankind. A large majority of the union\nmen, many of whom are in the habit of gambling themselves, are opposed\nto open gambling. They realize that when the temptation is removed, the\ndesire for gambling in a large measure is a'lsg removed. When we speak\nof Sunday closing, we mean that the side and back doors to bar-rooms be\nclosed as well,, as the front door, and in accordance with the act now on\nour provincial statutes.\nWith this brief statement, we submit to you our platform of principles for your consideration, if it is in accordance with your ideas and principles, we humbly ask for your vote and support, and if elected we hereby\npledge ourselves to carry into effect the principles contained in our platform if it is in our power to do so.\nWM.
