Ladies and Gt und body Satui both befo NO TICKET. nted oi Alfred Hall Skelton s public m Auckland civic and civil life as his Avider Dominion activities, a decided, at their own expense, to placHIS CANDIDATURE for the City Council Elect City Electors. He stand; As far back as 1921 he po thfe Ticket System enabled nant men to oa.rry in, on their backs, a large number of inefficient Camp Followers. The present incompetency in the City Council has proved his contention. We now have the same Ticket Candidates, only in an exaggerated form. He was defeated at the Polls by less than 100 votes by opposing this Ticket Svstem. so dangerous to Civic Good Government. He has practised as a Barrister and Solicitor for well over 20 years and throughout i of high integrity as and fearless citizen, ror very many years he was a Member of the Auckland City Council, the Hospital and Charitable Aid Board, the Auckland and Suburban Drainage Board, etc., during- the latter years of Sir James Parr’s period and during almost the whole of Sir James Gunson’s term of office. Although he strenuously opposed the Citv li prig lit, hones too fellov publi< beli< bigthou_ the Sh Poll was taken, although, with a united Council opposing- his suggestion that the City Abbatoirs were losing- money, he ’’ established his case and proved spread over six years, which period low elapsed, and the loss lias been 1 out. Yet. though opposed to cerCo il, that gentle tribute to hi] lai ge Electors that Mr. Alfred Hall Skelton was one of THE BEST COUNCILLORS he had on liis Council and regretted his defeat as a great loss to the Council. Apart from having a clear, incisive mind, there are few citizens who have his fearless and outspoken Courage. In civil life he is always found putting liis unbounded energy and enthusiasm into every cause where Justice is being-over-ridden. Throughout his course he has sacrificed his personal wellbeing for tlie bottom dog and the man in distress. His friends feel the Ticket System does not gi\-e men of liis valuable tvpe a fair chance. His fearless character is wanted, particularly to-day, on our City Council. He is not a man of extreme views, but steadfastly espouses any just cause. There are few men who have any courage to tackle big, unpopular questions True, lie makes enemies, but from the public point of view the right sort of enemies. WITHOUT ANY PERSONAL GAIN OR HOPE OF REWARD his personal friends issue this advertisement, purely in the interests of the Auckland Public and a personal testimony to the sterling worth of Mr. Alfred Hall Skelton.
