LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
To the Editor of the Tires: -
Dear Sir, -Kindly allow tne space to
give yonr readers the letter, which I
promised to have read at the nomination
meeting. The idea is being circulated
about town that during the improve-
ments to the eleotrio lighting plant in.
1908 I was tbe means of epending more
money than was neoessarv, and that the
work could have been more econotnioal-
ly done by having the flame running
Tinder the power house instead of on the
outside. Here is what Messrs. 0 Bar-
ber Se Son, Meeford, said in their letter
of July 10, 1908: -"The first and most
important departure is that the turbines
are shown in an open bulkhead outside
the power house. Thia removes all
dampness from the interior of the build-
ing and outs off all leaks; makes it pos-
sible to secure a proper pit under the
wheels and a free discharge without
any archways or obstructions; gives a
direct and better supply of water to the
turbines and leaves 'them always in
sight and perfeotly accessible; does
away with the decks and stuffing boxes;
gives better belt lengths and a olear
floor for the electrical machines and in-
strutnenta. These and many other
advantages will oome from this arrange-
ment."
Yours truly
War. HOLMES.
To the Editor of the Times
Dear Sir. -As stated in two former issues, I
am in the field as candidate for the Mayoralty.
So far as the present Council is, concerned I
was to have an ac,,lamation and 009 times out
of 1000 the Mayor is selected from the sitting
Council and not one in 1000 ex -Mayors ever ask
for a return, in fact it is contrary to all busi-
ness principles, A young man enters into any
business corporation, if he is made of the right
stuff, is ambitious to advance and he is advanc-
ed as he merits same. Good men entered the
Connell one yer later than I, all of whom are
capable of filling the Mayor's chair with mark-
ed ability. If I am elected I shall retire at the
end of one or at most two years and let the
honor pass around. If I am defeated, there
will be do incentive or stimulus for men to
enter the Council for they will take it as the
policy of the town that the honor is to be
monopolized by a few.
As to the electric monument I have only this
to say, that the success of the plant this year
belongs to Mayor Gregory, t:ounclilor Elliott
and myself. We were " bitterly" opposed in
committee when we dismissed what we con-
sidered incompetent managers and engaged
Mr. Campbell, who is one of the best men that
could be found Ot course the whole nom-
mittee were in favor of his appointmedt, but
if there had. been no dismissal there could be
no appointment. It will be the speoial work
of the two Commissioners to make a study of
' Light and Water" and the Mayor, who has
numerous duties. will only have to give a
decision when the Commissioners disagree.
Notwithstanding the fact that an independent
expert and other practical men state that
thousands were needlessly- and. wrongly- spent
on the re -construction of the plant and the
changing of the street lighting, yet the present
manager has made the plant a grand SUCCOFEI,
and 15 will be a bad thing for Wingham when
a Mayor or Commissioner presumes to know
more about electricity than the manager.
The powers of the Mayor are overrated. He
might sit In the chair for two years without
casting a vote. He can spend, no money with-
out same passing the Council If elected
Mayor of this beautiful town. I shall always
be ready at home or abroad to take part in
anything that will bring our Municipality to
the attention of as many people as possible.
My motto is "Business Principles in Muni-
cipal Affairs."
Faithfully yours,
GEO. SPOTTON.

They Help Your Stomach Out
And Save You a World of
Wretchedness
A stomach that cannot digest a good
meal „is certainly a sote trial, lt has
been responsible for almost everything
in the way of human misery, up to
suicide.
The trouble in most elites is that the
stoinacli and other digestive organs
lack vigor. Not enough of the 3uices
necessary to digestion ate secreted nor
does the stomach work tap the' food
properly.
The worst of it is that there is not
sufficient nourishinent taken out of the
food to restore the system's viper, and
the trouble goes froiu bad to wotse.
The stomach needs help.
"Little Digegters" meet the need
exactly, One "I,ittle Digester" after
each meal will ensure perfect digestion
,,
provided, of course, that the food is
1 good and wholesome.

FOR MAYOR.
For the Mayor's ohair we have honest
13111,
Of town work he's not had his fill,
Is as seed that he longs
To drop hammer and tongs
And to take one more turn at the will.
Let us not forget genie], George
Who opposes the man at the forge
He thinks Loos! Option
Unit for adoption
But will make all the blind pigs disgorge.
COUNCILLORS
Saye Elliott, the man of the Times,
When he sees how expenditure olimbe,
I'll do my dead best,
Along with the rest,
To take care of the dollars and dimes.
There is also our friend Albert Lloyd,
Who want all the bar -rooms destroyed,
' In hie mind its quite olear,
That the sellers of beer
Might all be much better employed.
There is next on the list, William Bone,
Who had always a way of his own,
When he thinks he is right,
He puts up a good fight,
Awl will Wok to his point all alone.
There's a rising young ixterohant called
Wet,
Who has given town matters some
thought,
He's again in the field,
And he never will yield,
Till the last gun is loaded and shot,
Do' (nor Redmond would cure the town's
ills,
We would need no more powders and
pills,
If we had a trunk sewer,
And water that's power,
Then the cash would pour into oar tills.
Then there's Gregory, daddy of all,
Who's responding again to the can,
All the votes on the hill.
Will go straight for Jahn still.
When the referee hollers 'play ball.'
There is this may be said of Dave Mack,
He wall make a fair frontal attack;
When he sought the reeve's chair,
He just failed to get there,
But the Council would weloome him
baok.
We have Nioholson, too, on the list,
Whom, this year, in the council we
missed,
He's a rattling good man,
On the up and down pion;
When he thinks a thing wrong, he'll
resist
•
Lastly Simon, the man from the North
Has again on the warpath gone forth
He demands a fair show,
If this town is to. grow,
And cement sell for what it is worth.
