The absence of a mayoralty contest reduces somewhat the usual interest in the election, but spirited contests are in progress in the three wards where voting will take place, es- pecially in the north-east and south- east divisions. . On account of a possible lack of interest in the poll by some voters candidates are now turning their major attention to arrangements to transport them to the polls, - Citi- zens are again reminded that the polls open at 9 o'clock Monday morning, January 2, and close at five o'clock in the evening. The poll in many sybdivisions will be divided into two sections, "A" to "L"" and M" to "Z", the initial referring to the surname, This condition pre- vails in subdivisions 2 and 3, south- west ward; 4, 5, 6 and 7, south east ward; and-10, 11 and 12, north east ward, Voters are asked to be care- MEETING NO G0, WE'RE SORRY JOE, TO TREAT YoU $0 Four Candidates And: Six Ratepayers Turned Up-- Moral: Advertise ------ We're sorry, Joe, Alderman Joe Swanson called a meeting of rate payers in the south- east ward last night, to be held in St. George's Hall, Court street. In the regular course of events, he called The Oshawa Daily Times and informed them of the meeting asking for the courtesy of a news item, In a last minute rush, which necessita- ted a number of our own news stor- ies being crowded out, it was left unpublished, Unfortunately the spon- sors of the meeting overlooked in- terviewing our advertising depart- ment, That meeting certainly had possi- bilities -loph at this list of speakers. D, A, J, Swanson, John Stacey, A, J. Graves and Dan Douglas, all of whom are seeking aldermanic hon- ors, But alas, the expected fireworks didn't materialize, because only half a dozen spectators turned up, The evening, as far as it went, was spent in informal discussion of public mat- ters, with, Jee an John, as usual, occupying the free air most of tlie time--and not always agreeing at that! We hasten to add that the Port Hope Times did their best to bring a crowd--a notice appeared in their paper. But Joe seemed to think that if the local newspaper had car- ried a story the hall would have been packed. We're sorry, Joe, SOUNDS PRETTY GOOD It has a pretty good sound that Canadian .

Since representatives of wards three and five were elected by accla- mation, there is mo necessity for a poll in subdivisions 8, 9 and 13 in the north west and Cedardale sections, A merry contest is being waged in the north east ward, however, where six candidates are seeking aldermanic honors. They are Peter A. Macdon- ald, William H. J. Harmer, Francis W. Watkinson, John T. Crawford, Sidney G. Carnell, and Neil A. Campbell. Three of them will, per- force, be also ran, but each is say- ing "it isn't 1," and every day the osties in this- part of the city are Pret with election literature. In the two south wards, four can- didates are seeking election, each hoping that he will not be the lone one left out in the cold. D. A.
