Despite the short notice Wwf one week, the political pot is already boiling in the North. The three major parties, Conâ€" servative, Liberal and CCF are already making plays for intenâ€" ‘ sive electioneering. Particular activity is noted among the _ CCF, which with W. J. Grummett as the sitting member for _the district, is the party to beat. _ Speculation is rife concerning who will be the candidates to oppose each other when the day of ballotting arrives, alâ€" though it is considered foregone conclusion that Mr. Grumâ€" met will again represent the CCP. During h‘s term in the house he has obtained a solid reputation and wide respect, not only from his own party, of which he‘is now the leader, but also from the party in power and the Liberal opposition. Chief subject under discussion among the politics of the district is who will be the candidates for the Liberals and the Conservat‘ves. _ Many names are mooted but principally for the Liberals J. Emile Brunette, exâ€"mayor of Timmins and Reeve Aun Shipley of Teck township are mentioned. Frank Ba‘ley, local lawyer has already.â€"sighified that he will seek the Conâ€" servative. nomination.‘~_‘HMowever, the is not yet within his igrasp by any means... THE Advance has learned. L-tha‘u Stanley Saxton, manager of Aunor Gold Mines Limited, may also seek the nominatipn.â€" , _ ‘While this paper has considetable respect for the capabil â€" ties and sincerity of it is inclined to believe ihat the CCF member will have ‘ stiff fight on â€"his hands on une 7. With either Mr. Brunette or Mrs. Shipley as a Libâ€" eral opponent he will be encountering very stiff opposition. If Mr. Saxton should win the Conservative nominat‘on: a very stiff threeâ€"cornered fight is promised. . : Ne While the Advance takes a strictly ‘:mpartial view of the election, it would prefer to see Mr. Saxton elécted. _ The rea sons for this are very obviomis:. Iff tha Hret Rianaut harin‘g ant., wIliiG¢ UNne Advance takes a strictly ‘:mpartial view of the election, it would prefer to see Mr. Saxton elécted. _ The rea sons for this are very obvious. I11 the first place it seems very likely that the Drew government‘ will be returned to Queen‘s Park by a comfortable margin; it is always in the interest of an electLoral. district to have as. its mamhan. nf suimmeone in Quéen‘s Park who knows the mining business from the ground upâ€"â€"â€"who understands its problems and who knows what remedies are required to bring it back to flourishing life. The presence of such a man as a. member of the provincial government might be of immeasurable benefit to the North, both to industry and the men who work in it. With all respect to “Mr‘.‘l‘Gtummett,_the only person now sittmg in Queen‘s Park who is acquainted thoroughly with minâ€" ing is Robert Carlin of Budbruy. However, Carlin is no asset to the industry or its employees. As a bareâ€"faced stooge of tho Communists Mr. Carlin seems more intent upon wrecking the industry than remedying it. He is a menace to the North, not a servant. But if a businesslike mine manager such as Mr. Saxtonâ€"â€" who has an excellent record of fair treatment of his employâ€" ees should prove to be the representative of this district as a member of the party in power, much might be expected for the Noerth, â€" Theére is always the possibility that such a man would be appointed Minister of Mines, for at present Frovincial Treasurer Frost is doubling in this role principally for the iack of a suitable man to fill it. When and if Northern Ontario gets a Minister of Mines who knows mining thoroughly, much can be done to contribute to the betterment and prosperity of the district. He is a credit to the administration of justice in this secâ€" tion of the land and the Advance wishes him many more years of useful servcee to the citizens of the North. No harsh, humorless autocrat, his court has been the scene of justice tempered with kindliness and mercy, qualities which have always characterized him in dealing wth the long parade of human misery, corruption and crime which has passed beâ€" fore him. On the other hand, observers who have known him over the years are quite aware that he is no sentimentaâ€" list. _ The possessor of a quick, enquiring mind as well as the wealth of experience which comes from dealing with the stuâ€" pendous total of more than 150,000 cases, he can detect fraud, insincerity and sham at once. He is a hard, but just, taskmasâ€" ter.to those worthy of punishment. The Advance wshes to express unreserved congratulaâ€" tions to Magistrate S. Atkinson who. has completed 40 years on the bench, all of which have been spent in Northern Onâ€" tario with the exception of brief periods when he sat in Torâ€" onto. â€" From the consistent manner in which he has adminisâ€" tered justice, he has earned the admiration and respect of all persons to whom the maintenance of law and order is one of our most prized possessions.

His theory was fully proven by results. The stranger in town who forgot to reâ€" move his hat in the theatre would hear from "Pete" very promptly. _ The first sound of loud talking or disorder would find Pete right on the spot. A big, burly man, who could look very aggressive if the situation called for it, Pete never sesmed to have any trouble. His in"stence on decorum during the singing or playing of "God Save the King" was another patriotic service he gare at a time when there were many from foreign lands in the camp. Another factor that helped Pete keep the theatre on the high plane he de« sxred wasothe fact that he had the taâ€"> lent of securing the best plctulc a~â€" buut as.soon as:they were issued seemed to have an unc anny 'udg,ment \ap to which pictures wou‘d be acclaimed ; he ve.
