Mayoralty Race
VANCOUVER. B.C.—Senator G.
G. (Gerry) McGeer. fiery former
mayor of Vancouver, has finally
tossed his hat. into the ring for
this year's Vancouver mayorality
contest. He
nominated by
acclamation this week by the NonPartisan association which has
supported the present mayor. Jack
Cornett, in the three consecutive
terms that he has held office.
Cornett is not running this year.
MeGeer's only declared oppon­
ent so far is former Aiderman
Halford D. Wilson. Wilson is mak­
ing his first attempt io get back
into civic politics after leaving the
city council for the Army in 1942.
