TIMMINS, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 9th, 1926 TIMMINS JUNIORS PLAY AT SOUTH END TOâ€"NIGHT Official Figures Give A. F. Kenning Majority of 2632 The annual commencetment exerâ€" cises of the Timmins High Sehool will be held in the gymnasium of the s i school on Friday evening of this week, Dec. 10th, commencing at 8.30 p.m. The pupils, former pupils, parents and iriends will all be welcome, and all will find the programme for the evening of very special interest. The Timmins Juniors will qhave their first hockey match of the seaâ€" son this (Thursday) evening at South Poreupine, when they will play the Poreupine Hockey team at the fine new South Poreupine rink. _ There will be a specially large crowd likely to go over from here, for two special reasonsâ€"first, to see the boys in their first game of the season; and, second, to see South Poreupine‘s eleoant and comfortable new rink. The official figures for the Provinâ€" cial election contest in this riding are to hand this week and show that a total of 7,416 votes were polled in the riding Cochrane South. _ Of this number Mr. A. Fâ€" Kenning, the Conservative candidate received 5024, and Mr. Jas. McGuire, the Liberalâ€" Labour candidate, only 2392. . The official majority for Mr. Kenning is 2632. There were over 20,000 eligible to vote according to the lists, and it would appear that only about oneâ€" third of the electors exercised their franchise. The usual percentage of those voting at elections in this counâ€" try is only about 25 to 50 per cent. of the total vote. The recent election showed only about _a third of the voters exercising their â€"franchise. One reason for the comparative smallâ€" ness of the vote was the very incleâ€" ment weather around election time and the difficulties made for travelâ€" ling through the heavy snow. Local Hockey Boys Will Stage Their First Match of the Season This Evening There is particular interest in the match this evening after the result of the last night‘s game when South Poreupine trimmed the Falls to the tune of 5 to 2. In the election there were probably more than the usual number of spoiled ballots, there being 122 ballots countâ€" ed among the spoirled and rejected. As there were over a hundred polls however, this is after all only a small number, though the most of the polls did not have any spoiled ballots. Argonaut .. Anthony .. Alert .. Bourkes .. Bowman ..
