At the moment, he says,

he stands ‘“‘to be turfed out’’

every two years in municipal
elections. He describes him-
self as a professional politi-
cian and says that as such,
being in the legislature and
says that as such, being in
the Legislature—especially
as a minister—would be in
his own best ifterests.

And though he stresses he
has never followed a party
line, he sees only one choice
if he were to stand for
nomination into provincial
politics—with the Social
Crdit Party.

Bell says he was ap-
proached by Social Creditors
and asked to mect other
candidates for the party's
nomination for Capilano.

‘NO DOGFIGHTS’

The mecting, he says, was
at a social function, explain-
ing he would not be
interested in entering a
‘dogfight’ nomination.

He admits the idea of
becoming an MLA—and
even more so a_ cabinet
minister—appcals to him.
Even so, he's been going
over the question afl weck
and has told the News he will
not be committing himself to
a decision before tomorrow
(Monday).

Mayor Bell feels tt would
be logical for him to stand for
the Social Credit nomination
only—in spite of his stated
lack of party alliliation.

He sees no purpose as
standing down as mayor if
the odds of being cliected to
Victoria are not in bis favor.

This, he says, rules out the

possibilities of standing as
independent, Conservative
or Liberal as impractical.

But he sees the prospect of
standing for the Socreds as a
personal political opportunity
he is tempted to grasp.

He says he favors the
Socred ideal of free enter-
prise and admires Bill

_ Bennett both as a politician

and a man. He can see
himself working well with
Bennett, particularly as a
cabinet minister.

However, Bell does not
pretend to be an instant
Socred.

REJECTS PARTY VOTING

He says he has always
‘voted for the man’’, not the
party and thinks that where-
as in many cases he would be
happy backing Socred poli-
cies, if they didn't tally with
his own ideals then he would
not toe the party line.

It is Bell who has turned
over his office on Fridays to
Bennett, North Vancouver's
proxy MLA since’ both
ridings became unrepresent-
ed, in Victoria for the
premier to meet with his
““constitucnts”’

it was while Bennett was
there on one of his Friday
visits that Bell mentioned the
idea and says the premier
welcomed him with open
arms.
