Straight Talks to Council ELECTORS No. 2 FADS OF THE MOMENT. 1. To abuse the City Council. 2. To charge Councillors with Lack of Business ability. RESULTS. 1. You depreciate your own City when you abuse your Council. 2. You infer that the majority of Aucklanders must lack business ability. COMMENT. Again, judged by last election, it *is the minority, who indulge .in these harmful fads. Serious Electors realise that abuse is no argument, abuse is not fact, and abuse shows a weak case. Let any fair-minder Elector carefully examine the Retiring Councillors’ Ticket to see if there is a single one, who has not made a success of his or her particular business. Success means Business ability, not the lack of it. Support the Retiring Councillors’ Ticket
