The promoter's body was taken to the funeral parlors, prior to being laid' in state in Madison Square Garden, the scene of his many triumphs. TIMES SLATE . FARED WELL The much talked of Times "slate" fared well in the elections yesterday. Of ten candidates recommended by this newspaper mine were returned. The man who "broke the slate" was Edmund Jackson, alderman for Ce- dardale, ' Mr. Jackson is, a vetfran campaigner and received sstrong¥sup- port from his fellow workmen ifi the tannery. But the vote was close. In the North East Ward McLeese was returned, defeating Alderman Crawford and in the south east ward Hart. Disnéy and Perry were given good majorities. Of course Mayor- elect Mitchell's splendid win was the feature of the day's voting and his wonderful majority over Swanson completely vindicated him as well as this newspaper and was the effective answer of the electors to the wiru- lent attacks of Alderman Swanson.

Holding His Own When last nights bulletin said he had had a quiet day and there was no change to report it was explained the words "no change" meant the King was holding him own. It was expected today that in the long climb to the convalescence stage, which is not yet reached, there might be several days in which no definite improvement would be recorded. As long as there is no setback and the King maintains his strength it was felt his doctors would be satisfied, The return to the issuance of only Lone bulletin a day, as at Christmas time, was taken as an indication of the doctors' confidence, Uneventful Day The day was uneventful at the palace. The regular dectors, Lord Dawson of Penn, Sir Stanley Hewett, and Sir Hugh Rigby had the usual conferences but Lord Dawson did not 'pay' the usual visits In the af- ternoon Queen Mary went for her afternoon drive, rogress London, Jan. 8.---Two. medical builetins 1ssucd Monday reported that the King has passed a fair night and a quiet day, although there was no noteworthy change in His Majesty's condition. But far more significant of the physician's confidence in continuation of progress, was the official announ- cement that only one bulletin would be issued today. It was indicated that provided there is no relapse the one bulletin rule probably would be continued. In that case, it would. be given out in the evening. Sir Hugh Rigby, the surgeon in the case, did not visit the palace in the. evening, his absence indicating that the condition of the wound was entirely satisfactory. Consultations of the doctors are daily becoming brief- er, last evening's bulletin being is- sued unusually early. It came out at 745 p.m. and said "The King had a ict day. There is no change to report in His Ma- jesty's condition. The next bulletin will be issued Aron evening." The British Sh although still strongly interested in the King's pro- gress, now accepts his complete re- covery as a foregone conclusion. The tense solicitude which formerly char- acterized the crowds around the pa- lace gates, has disappeared. The wait- ers for news showed the usual plea- sure when they saw Queen Mary depart on her regular afternoon, au- tomobile outing.

MITCHELL GIVES ELECTORS THANKS FOR SUPPORT Swanson Says People Have Spoken and Congratulates the New Mayor When the result of the polling was definitely known last night, showing a handsome pajonty for T. B. Mitchell over D. J. Swanson, the mayoralty RTT made the following statements ;-- 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 Technical School. It is strange that a clever lawyer, such as my opponent presumes to be, who has served on the Council for two years and who should be in a position to know the urgent require- ments of this city, should present himself for the position of Mayor without one constructive idea to offer, and then should make the location of the new Technizal 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 bun- dred and seventy-five thousand dol- lar; fo build the new Technical ve, but on the present Collegiate property, In the coming year I trust I shall prove worthy in every respect of the confidence placed in me. [I shall en- 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 carnest wish that I shall serve you all. Yours for a prosperous year, T. B. MITCHELL. Mr. Swanson The people, have spoken and have pronounced judgment. I accept the verdict and will abide by the result, confident that the affairs of Oshawa will be handled by the new Mayor and Council in the interests of the city at large. I congratulate them al Yours for a bigger and better Osh- awa. D. A. J.

Preston Presides Mayor R. D. Preston, who acted as chairman, referred to the good fin- ancial position of the city, Oshawa had gone ahead rapidly and the city had kept pace with the necessary expenditures for civic works and it was quite possible that the tax rate could be reduced. He was proud to hand over to Mayor-elect T. B. Mit- chell the reins of government of the best city in the Dominion of Canada, and pomnted out to him the big res- ponsibility that rests upon the chief | magistrate of Nshawa, Mr. Mitchell Mayor-elect Mitchell said that he was pleascd with the splendid maj- ority which had been given him, which was beyond his best expecta- tions, and promised he would endea- vor to give his best for Oshawa in the coming year. The campaign had been a clean pone, he said, for he, personally, had made up his mind that if he was elected, he would win without any chance of a comeback. He appreciated the support of every man who had helped to get out the vote by the use of automobiles and otherwise, and expressed his thanks to The Oshawa Daily Times for its support of his candidature. He be- lieved that as the year rolled on all of his supporters would feel that they had not misplaced their confi- dence in electing him. Mr. Swanson D. A. J. Swanson, defeated mayor- alty candidaté, reminded the elect- ors that the only successful com- munity is that in which the defeated man works with the successful man for the good of the community, and he pledged himself to give his sup- port to the elected mayor and coun- cil. Mayor-elect Mitchell was a man who was fair, honorable, honest and above-board, and a man in whom the clectors could place the utmost con- fidence, said Mr. Swanson, congratu- lating both Mr. Mitchell and the successful aldermanic candidates. "Make no mistake," he said in clos- ing to the electors, "Mayor-elect Mitchell can only succeed as you get behind him, and if you continue to stand behind him and his council. nothing will be too good for the city." Alderman D Alderman Douglas, elected by ac- clamation in the south-west ward, appealed to the electors to take a greater interest in the council meet- ings, and attend the sessions of the council in greater numbers, so that they might see how the city's busi- ness is transacted. Alderman-elect P. A. Macdonald, S. C. Carnell and C. Harman, thank- ed the electors for. their support and promised their best service dur- ing 1929.
