About Twelve Hundred Votes Cast in Election that the vote generally showed a thoughtfulness and intelligence that does credit to the town. The hunkâ€" um peddled around by a few misâ€" guided agitators during the past few weeks apparently was disregarded by the rigchtâ€"thinking people of the comâ€" munity.. The Councilâ€" elected is a firstâ€"ciass one. ~Of course, it is true that a number of good men were deâ€" feated at the polls, but that was inâ€" evitalble in view of thefact that there were so many good men in the field. Many, especially among the oldâ€"time residents here who know the extent of his public service to the town, reâ€" gret that Mr. L. 8. Newton was not returned. The fact that there were so manyvy in the contest and Mr. Newâ€" so many in the cOnTest and cMTrT. ton did not go seriouslyr after the place will account for his vote. He did not, indeed, decide to bhe a eandiâ€" date until just before the time limit for qualifying. (Mr. King was anâ€" other" who had given good public serâ€" vice in the past, and whom many are sorry to see without a place on the Council Board. Mr. Laprairie is a third in similar position. The vote given these three men show that the electors did not forget their pubâ€" lic services. It was simply a case that all could not be elected. All nwill ‘be delighted at the large vote polled by Mr. Longmore. It is a fitting tribute to his work for the town. Tif the past five years he has geiven very generously of his time and outstandins pressed its with votes. The large yote secured by Mr. Charbebois is also a tribute to the good services of that gentleman on the School Board, Board of Trade and other public bodies. Mr.Geo.S. Drew, who was third in favour had his publicâ€" spiritedness specially recognized in the same way. Messrs. Bacon, W a!â€" lingford and Morrison _ also â€"polled such large votes as to indicate the fullest public confidence. Indeed, it is not too much to say that the elecâ€" tors: very evidently followed the plan that The: Adwance suggested they would take,â€"that is, judging the canâ€" didates on their public services. This is even indicated in the case of good men iwho polled comparatively small votes. The fact was that the public in these cases did not know the canâ€" didates in question well enough to recognize their publicâ€"spiritedness.
