Vote! Vote! Vote! Vote! .

Next Tuesday for the second time in a year, the citizens of Bri-
tish Columbia are going to the polls to elect their government

represetnatives,

They did the same last year on June 12. We did not advise our

readers how to vote then and, although we ourselves have strong

convictions on the matter, we will not presume to advise them how
to vote this time either. It is up to each person to evaluate for him-

self the claims and counter-claims the various parties are wooing
him with. ;
But we do wish to advise, nay strongly urge that every one of
our readers, who are eligible to do so, exercise their right to vote.
We urge too that every voter use his voting rights to the full,
that is, mark all his preferences among the candidates offering
themselves for his service.

There is nothing contradictory about voting for more than one].

candidate or party in order of preference, By, doing so the voter is
nerely saying, “If my cherished beliefs or personal respect for one
party or person cannot be realized, I am interested enough in public
affairs to know that all is not black or white. There are other candi-
dates, other parties, and among them ae are gradations of ability
and honesty. I am entitled to all
of the candidates. That is the only way fee the will of the majority
can prevail in a vote where four or five parties are in the contest.”

The outst ding merits of alternative voting were pointed out
as early as “1910 by a British Royal Commission on Systems of Elect-
ion, After study#jg many types of voting, the commission favored
the Al Vote system “the A Vote
as the best method of removing the most serious defects which a
single member system can possess — the return of minority candi-

P. O'Connor is an un-
warranted attack upon me on the
alleged grounds of politica] pat-
ronage. At the request of a great
number of my friends, I have
decided to publish the complete
detailed. facts relative to this
charge and in so doing, it is my
ion: that each of you exam-

dates and accordingly we d its in angie

constituences.” z FS
_ Australia, New Zealand, Alberta and Manitoba have used the alt-

ernative vote’ for years. It has solved their problems and can also

help B.C. elect a majority government if used to the full.

The important thing, however, is for everyone to Vote, Make sure

you vote next Tuesday. It’s not only your right but also your duty.

Vote 1; Vote 2; Vote 3; Vote 4. .

VOTE AS YOU PLEASE, BUT PLEASE VOTE!’
