Someone has estimated the total `cost of the present Federal election -"at approximately six million dollars, `which includes money spent by can- 'didates. This _is a large sum. Elec- `tions come high. All the more rea-- son that every elector should vote and make the result a real "represent- ation of ublic opinion. V 528 candidates have been nominate ed for `244 seats in the Federal par- liament. A. L. Beaubien, Liberal- Progressiye of Provencheri, Manitoba, was elected by acclamation. If the party predictions are to be fullled, th'ere will be at least twice as many candidates -elected as there are seats. .
