Alvo Me Furlone
Addresses Voters in
Csted Mdrket
Alva Nc Farlane, candidate
for the District Of st. Croix
addressed voters in the Chris
tiansted Market place at 7:30
pm. He outlined the reasons
why he decided to seek cleo
ton to the new legislature of
the Virgin Islands as an indie
pendent candidate.
MI. Nc Farlane said that he
does not only have the desire
to be Of service to his home
land, but that he has also de
monstrated his ability to ade-
quately represent the people
ELG#HG -h 4
Of st. Croix, based on his legis
lative record during the time
he served as a member Of the
Municipal Council Of St. Croix
and also as chairman of the
Virgin Islands Legislative As
sembly.
Mr.. Nc Farlane deplored the
performance of some of the
members Of the Municipal
Council, mentioning the dis
gushing record Of absences;
the fact that there were too
many occasions when the
Chairman of the Council had
to postpone meetings because
of the lack of a quorum.
He pointed OFT that now is
the time for all factions Of the
community Of st. Croix and
the Virgin Islands should put
their shoulders together and
work diligently for the gener
al good of the people.
AT the conclusion Of his adj
dress Mr.. Nc Farlane explain
ed the manner Of voting in de-
tail and urged his hearers to
get out and vote, regardless
of the candidates for whom
they cast their ballots.
, 1954-10-28

Master of ceremonies for the
occasion was Attorney David
Mas, who spoke on the re-
cord Of the Republican Adj
ministration on the mainland.
He cited the record Of the
Democratic Party and pointed
out that the Organic Act was
written by them; he also point
ed to the fact that no member
Of the organization had gone
to Washington in connection
with the the Act. Then cited
the fact that the present mem
bers of the municipal councils
spent $4,000 in fees and trips
to Washington to fight the
Act.
The several speakers each
took turns at repeating the
Republican program.
