It is quite true. I don’t remember any meeting of citizens being called to gdt out a “ticket.’’ I would also like to have a say, but I knew nothing about it until I saw the advertisement in the “Star” with “Published by Agreement" at the bottom. Two members of the citizens’ ticker. Councillors Marker and Wil-

Hams, should have told us of the' “frenzied finance,” but the only voice I heard- arised in warning was young Councillor Blanchfield's. As your correspondent wrote, the election will consist, of two factions. What I would like to know is. "Will Citizens and Labour fighting for strength, be in the best interests of Greymouth?—Yours, etc., "ANOTHER UNINVITED CITIZEN."
