WHAT MR.. PARKER SAYS.
There Was No Politics in the City
Election.

Mr.. Parker said today: 81 don't know
that L have much to say or offer at this
time. OF course. we all know there
was no politics in this election. No one
would be foolish enough to call it a
Democratic victory. 1t was simply
difference of opinion among the voters
as to what would be for the best inter-
ests of the city.
with the ladies voting there was
something like 1900 Republican major
ity to overcome, so must have receiv-
ed nearly or quite many Republican
votes as l received from all other par
ties. l don't propose to be in a hurry
about making changes as there are
sure to be more or less mistakes. but
fewer if we go slowly than if we go
fast. / would have been pleased to
have had the opinion unanimous. but as
it is. it shows the court to be able to
rise above party and decide a political
case in favor of one who is of the OPP
poSite in politics. This 1 think will tend
to give the people more confidence in
our eourts-the demonstration that
they can decide a political case on it's
merits as they would any other.
Now just few words to the people
of the city, you who worked and voted
for me. Please don't expect too much
of the new administration for if you do
you will be more or less disappointed.
/ am aware that it is no easy matter to
run the affairs of this city and espec-
tally with the finances in the condition
I am told they are at present. But /
think we have a No. council and I
shall try and work in harmony with the
councilmen for the best interests of the
city.
Now to those who think the city will
at once go to the bow vows Please
reserve your criticism until the new
administration has had a chance to see
what it can do as it will take some lit
tie time to get started. Everything con-
nected with the running of the affairs
of the city is entirely new to me and
nine months of the term is already
gone. Still I hope we shall be able 10
accomplish some good during the bal
ance of the term.
It wish especially to thank James e
Larimer for the able and impartial
manner in which he conducted as spec
ial commissioner, the recount of the
ballots"
