Perry Presents His Platform fo Citizens for Their Consideration The time of year has arrived when the citizens will have to riiake their choice of civic officials for another year. The question of platform and what the candidates - stand for should in all fairness dictate which of the candidates voters will decide to support. \ f There are no other considerations that should carry weight at this time when hard, common sense is needed to guide the city's affairs. In another column we publish the announcement of H. G. Perry in his appeal for support, and we believe all will agree that during the period since in-such clear and of policy has ever been presented to the elec-toratei There is no hedging, no quibbling. Mr. Perry states positively what he stands for, what he will aim to accomplish if elected as chief executive. No such statement dealing with every detail of city affairs lias ever been placed before those who will decide the matter in quite as complete a manner as has been done by Mr. Perry. Every item in his platform will stand closest inspection. The document denotes a careful study of conditions and needs as they apply to the present time and stamp the man making the appeal as one of the brightest and ablest thinking men of the city. There is no appeal to section; Mr. Perry believes best results only can be attained by the people as a whole standing solidly for the unification of every section, realizing that no portion of the city Mian grow without benefiting the other section. The document is optimistic in every clause, and gives evidence of earnest and careful consideration in-gathering together arid presenting what he considers the needs of every depart men t of the municipal government, shpwirig a thorough knowledge of the subject with which it deals. Every citizen owesJt to himself to read .'carefully what the candidate has planned to accomplish, and The Star is satisfied the voter will conclude the statement shows a grasp of local conditions and requirements that entitle him to support from every fair-thinking man and woman on whom will rest the choice of an executive head for the city during 1917. In supporting Mr. Perry's can-lidature The Star believes it is in accord with every progressive business interest of the city. Closely allied with local organizations having for their aim improvement and development, taking an active part in their work, Mr. Perry has always shown a disposition to do whatever task fell to his lot in their formation in a manner that coincided with the wishes of the majority. Always fair and just in his consideration of questions where there is a difference of opinion and gauging every point with a breadth of view that, if applied to city affairs would bring about a better feeling among all citizens and eliminate the strife that has retarded growth' and development, Mr. Perry is an ideal candidate. From now until election The Star will take up and deal with theyarious portions of the platform as it effects city affairs believing in supporting Mr Perry we ar'j working for the best interests and welfare of every citizen in Prince.George Every city takes from among its businessmen, sooner or latei one connected with the mercantile life of the .city and places him at the head of the municipality, and invariably they make a success. The professional politician who continually goes from one place to another looking for preferment in municipal affairs, prating about his experience does not make the best executive head; he simply uses the position to further his own ends and not for the purpose of fostering a unanimity of action that works fqr the welfare of all. Mr. Perry, if elected," will go to the highest position withfn the gift of the city clear of all entanglementsand with a clear-cut program that will prove of the greatest future benefit if put jnto effect.
