ELECTORS THANKS FOR SUPPORT Swanson Says People Have Spoken and Congratulates the New Mayor The candidates made the following statements when the result of the poll made the election of Mitchell a certainty, Mr. Mitchell I wish to thank the electors of the city of Oshawa for giving me such a splendid majority today. I wish to thank all my {friends and suppor- ters for the assistance which they gave me today and during the past week. I wish to thank all the right think- ing people of Oshawa who stood for the dignity and moral standing of this city. And last but not least I wish to thank The Oshawa Daily Times for the wonderful support which it gave me. Two questions have been definite- ly settled by the vote of today. The first, as to who shall be Mayor for 1929, The second, as to the site of the Techni gal, School. It is A that a clever lawyer, such as my opponent presumes no be, who has served on the Council two years and who should be in a position to know the urgent require- sirould present himself for the position of Mayor without one constructive idea to offer, and then should make the location of the new Technical School the only plank to offer the electors and should try to play one part of the city against another part. He received an answer to such tactics today. I do not think this city will require to spend an extra one hun- dred and seventy-five thousand dol- lars to build the new Technical School elsewhere, but on the present In the coming year I trust I shall prove worthy in every respect of the | confidence placed in me. shall cn- | deavor to do my very best for every | citizen of this wonderful city of ours. | I want to be the "people's Mayor" and respect every class of people in Oshawa--the great army of working men, the merchant, professional man and manufacturer. It will be my Earnest wish that I shall serve you " Yours for a prosperous wear, T. B. MITCHELL.
