Abramson and A. Teytaud are the men, that uninfluencel and unb’- assad —minded Voters are endeavouring to elect to the Colonial Council to repre- sent the sown and suburbs of Christian- sted. And why so? Beeaus: tiacre are sound and substantial reasons for so do- ing; and we are prepared to stand by those reasons. First of all, Abramson has proved to us during the iast four years of his ser- vice there: that he isa man, determined to consider and oppose measures that are against the peopie’s interest and welfare; and to look ouf and introduce and sup- porc that which is for their good and comfort. Remember how he opposed | the FProhibition Rill, and afterward | moved and helped to repeal the same. | Those were measures severally against and for our comfort, and nine-tenths of | the Islard’s porulation dare not deny | this. Other like important matters too. | But Abramson has not been behindhand | in stepping out for the ordinary man’s satisfaction. Some one in West End News the | other day referred to Bill Abramson as | the man with long legs who travels fast, | but he is not only long-legged, he is also | broad-shouidered, and when he stands | up in the Council Hall he creates an im- | pression, and with his common-sense | talk, especially when he rolls those eyes | of his and shakes his head on the right, his brother-Memuoers are compelled to | have a care for Abramson. He is no | mere ‘seato-ccupier’”’, half the time | asleep. Heis no Slacke®. Heisto the | front always. and faces the foe with | determination to win—and does win too. | His partner Teytaud, IS a voung man, | it is true, but a young man, genuine, true, and dependable (we know him well, | a firm M. LS. man). He is man also .| without interests to consider outside of those he is bound as an honorable man to | serve, namely his electors. Some writer observed that he is not independent, be- ing an employee; but we will remind that writer that Teytaud is an employee of a foreign Company having no interest or concern vhatever, locally or else. Tey- taud is perfectly inti-pendant of any per- son or persons weal; and when once he becomes a member of the Council, we believe he will prove a disagreeakle sur- prise to those who are today against him, as he will ailso, more than satisfy his electors. : Brother Voters; Never mind the night private-meetings, telling you things- be- hin:! closed doors which c:uld not be guaranteed, but vot2 in the open-headed, open mouthed, day ight dealers among the (‘amdidates, Vote for: W. S. ABRAMSON A. TEYTAUD Yours truly MANY VOTERS. e 3 » io the Voters of Chris- t'ansted: Judging from the many public letters exposes and correspondences and notices we have seen lately, coupled with the fact that some officials are now triing to make the St. Croix Avis their official or semi-official organ, instead of the Herald. Thnings are certainly not work- ing well in the Labor Union Camp. Wouldo’t it therefore have been bet per policy that before the President try to i advise others that he put his own house in order first? If he is to make the same Kkettle of fish of the Colonial Council, and the rest of St. Croix as he ha- done with the Labor Unicn, then for *Heaven’s sake let us all beware of Lim and his party. STRAIGHTEN OUTI THE UNION FIRST, then it would be time to expect the electors to have some confidence in your leadership. Show us that you are a man of ,substance and not a man of straw, :cut out the bluffing. Does any body really believe that if perchance Chabert is elected he will remain Presi- dent .of the Labour Union any longer than is necessary to throw sand in peo- ple’s eyes? Some 1 en have existed long enough by trading in the ignorance of the masses Is it ereditable that they can afford to rud their faces with brass and impose on those that are little bit better in- formed too? ANTI-HUMBURG. VOTERS FOR CHRISTIANSTED, AND SUBURBS. Be Ye Not Deceived. The enemies of FAIR-PULAY, and the friends of INVIS- ABLE GOVERNMENT tiied, and tried hard to practice a high FRAUD cn YOU, by plaeing on the ticket the names of four men, who at the time that they were placed there, were not, nor are they now sefking election to the Colonial Council. Teach them -a lesson in houvesty by voting for these two candidates, make your X mark, on lines 3 and sat the warmes of Joseph Alexander, line 3; : R. de Chabert. line 5. and 'y su doing, you VOTE FOR YOUR HOME-AND PROGRESS: A MAN. Editor St. Croix . Avis. Dear Sir.— While we admit that Candidates or their supporters will go far in secur- ing election to the Colonial Council, we vehemently eondemn everything that savors of UNFAIRNESS. When Mr. Wm. Abramson himself 2 candidate, tcok steps on Tuesday before closing of the nominations, to enter on the ticket the names of John Alexan- der and Andrew De Chahert it is time that we voters open our eyes and resent such conduct from one seeking an Office of great Trust. The above gentlemen are supporting strongly two of the Candidates, and if there were any remedy in the law that would vermit the omision of their own names from the ticket they would re- sort to such remedy. Mr. Abramson’s object is clear: Some of the voters would be confused over the names, Jno. Alexander and .Jos Alexander, C. A. de Chambert and R. de Chabert, thereby some votes intend- ed for Jos. Alexander would fall on John Alexander, and votes for R. de Chabert would fall on C. A. de Chabert, This would lessen the chances of the two can- didates in favor of Mr. W. Abramson and his ' Chum’’, Say "'BILL’’did the BIG POLITICAL BJ)SS s ow you this new way? Well, I promised you my support, but I see you do not merit it. Goodbye, Bill. Yours truly, JUSTICE. Voter of Christiansted country dis- trict listen to reason: .Mr. Jas. Roberts. a man well known to you a well read native having an excellent knowledge of the thing best suiied to the welfare of our home, stands before you as a can- didate for the council. Without doubt a man of his experience and knowledge of things political »nd otherwise coupled with his sincere love and devotion to his countrv ougkt to have your whole- hearted supvort in the coming election. Voters be advised, vote for Roberts, he’s an honest-minded citizen who will stand by you through thick and thin—Vote ior Roberts. COUN'L“T\" XTANITYYT
