THE CANDIDATURE Of M R ' SKELTON$ KELTON < ALFEED HALL). A largo and representative body of Ladies and Gentlemen met on Saturday morning, friends and admirers of Mr. Alfred Hall Skelton's public career, both in Auckland civic and civil life, as well as his wider Dominion activities, and decided, at their own expense, to place HIS CANDIDATURE for the Citv Council Election beforo the City Electors. He stands on NO TICKET. As far back as 1921 he pointed out that the Ticket System enabled a few dominant men to carry ;n, on their backs, a number of inefficient Camp Followers. Iho present incompetency in tho City Council has proved his contention. W© now have the same icket Candidates, only in an exaggerated form. Ho was defeated at the Polls by less than 100 votes by opposing this Ticket System, so dangerous to Civic Good Government. He ha 3 practised as a Barrister and Solicitor for well over 20 years and throughout maintained a position of high integrity as an upright, honest and fearless citizen. For very many years ho was a Member of the Auckland Cit.v Council, tho Hospital and Charitable Aid Board, the Auckland and Suburban Drainage Board, etc., during the latter years of Sir James Pair's period and during almost tho wholo of Sir James Gunson's torm of offio Although ho strenuously opposed the City purchase of tho Auckland Tramways on the groinds they were paying £600,000 too m< ch, without any backing by his fellow-councillors, a big section of the public now believe ho was right. Although ho opposed the pulling down of the Shops on the Civic Square until a Poll was taken, although, with a united Council opposing his suggestion that the City Abbatoirs were losing money, ho i/inally established his case and proved £6OOO had been lost. Having done this ho personally provided a sliding scale of fees spread over six years, which period has now elapsed, and the loss has been wiped out. Yet, though opposed to certain measures of Sir Jameß Gunson's Council, that gentleman paid a generous tribute to him at a large meeting of Remuera Electors that Mr. Alfred Hall Skelton was nc of THE BEST COUNCILLORS lie hnd on his Council and roprctted his defea" as a great lobs to the Council. Apnrt from having a clear, incisive mind, there are few citizens who have his fearless find outspoken Courage. Jn civil life he is always found putting his unbounded energy and enthusiasm into every cause whero Justice is being over-ridden. Throughout his course lie has Hacrificed his personal wellocing for the bottom dog and the man in distress. His friends feel the Ticket System does not give men of his valuable type a fair chance. His fearless character is wanted, particularly to-day. on our City Council. He is not a man of extreme views, hut steadfastly espouses any just cause. There are few men who have any courage to tackle big, unpopular questions. True, ho makes enemies, but from tho public point of view tho right sort of enemies. t WITHOUT ANY PERSONAL GAIN OR HOPE OF REWARD his personal friends issue this advertisement, purely in the interests of Auckland Public and a personal testimony to tho sterling worth of Mr. Alfred Hall Skelton. WITn FULL CONFIDENCE WE INVITE THE ELECTORS TO VOTE FOR THIS CANDIDATE.
