Sitting mayor Dan Sullivan sought re-election for a second term. The Citizens' Association, whose leaders had cooperated well with Sullivan during the term, decided not to put up an opposing candidate "... the Citizens' Association's leading councillors declined to stand against Sullivan and only a somewhat eccentric Independent, Lancelot Walker, opposed him. Walker favoured some grandiose schemes and Sullivan appeared safely conservative in comparison." [1]
