THE . -, MAYORAL ELECTION.' COUNCILLOR BEANLAND'S ' CANDIDATURE. AN APPEAL TO COMMON SENSE. If you we're a, shareholder of a business concern and were called upon to assist in selecting a manager, your voto 'would naturally 'be cast for a man of proved business ability—one who had already proved himself a sound administrator, and good financier. As a matter of fact you ARE a shareholder in a big business concern—the biggest in the South Island—the City of Christchurch, and on April 27th you | will be, called upon to assist in selecting a manage? to look after your inI terests during the coming two years. |, Your choice on this occasion will probably be limited to two candidates, one of whom lias all the .qualities mentioned above. Councillor J. W. Beanland is a man of deeds—not words. As-chairman of the Worts Committee of the City Council and Deputy-Mayor he ha? given ample* proof of his administrative ability, and the citizens of Christchurch will be failing in their duty if they do not see that his valuable services are retained for the city. At no stage in the history of New Zealand has it been' more necessary to have » practical, hard-headed business man as your Mayor. The present' 'financial stringency and uncertain position in the industrial world demand that only a proved administrator shall be nuDointed to control the city's destiny ' This is no timo for visionary schemes and promises incapable of fulfilment. Councillor Beanland will malce no promises which he cannot fulfil. He will not promise you the Millenium. His r>olicv is> an d always has been, WORDS. In these columns and from the public platform Councillor Beanland wifl prove to you during the next few weeks that he has consistently stood for the genuine progress of the city. His record of public service is one of which any man might be proud, and it is for you to see that. these services do not go unrewarded. Your vote for Councillor Beanland will be a vote for SANE ADMINISTRATION, SOUND FINANCE, AND GENUINE PROGRESS. 6
