Hod- gins, the present member, was the unanimous and enthusiastic choice of the Notth Middlesex Conservative can- vention here to -day as the candidate for the riding in the coming provin- cial election. The gathering was large, a full dele- gation being present from each munici- pality. Strathroy and Metcalfe, the two new municipalities lately included in the riding, were represented by a satisfied, contented delegation, wit- nessing that the redistribution had found favor there. The nominations were, J. D. Drum- mond, seconded by R. S. Hutchinson, moved that C. C. Hodgins be the Con- servative candidate, which was receiv- ed with warm, hearty applause. The other nominations were: W. E. Stan- ley, Lucan; James Doyle, N. McGilliv- ray; John Robinson, McGillivray; H. C. Pope, Stratbroy; John Fox, Lucan; John Drummond, McGillivray; George Stewart Stratbroy; R. Dunlop, Met- calfe; John Sherrit, ex-M.P.. Stephen; \V. H. Bartram, Parkhill; Hobert Hut- chinson, McOilllvray;Geo. Lewis, Met- calfe. Following the withdrawals of the other candidates, who all retired witb short speeches, full of hope and confid- ence for the coming election, President Roberts introduced C. C. Hodgins as the unanimous choice of the conten- tion. Huron's Population County Clerk Lane has. completed his returns of the population of Hur- on county, which is required by the Educational Department. The pope• Winn. as shown by last year's returns from the minor municipalities. was 51,372. This is a decrease from the year 1906 of 1.529 and comparing the figures for the year with the figures for, the year 1807 a decrease during the de- cade of 0,350 is shown. No doubt the exodus to the west is largely .respon- sible for the loss. The population of Huron in 1807 was01.228; in 1905 it was 50,381; in 1006, 50,401, and in 11)07, 51,- 872.

Exeter. r Exeter people did justice to them- selves and the town on Friday when the voters carried the two by-laws that were L•aced before them. By voting for those by-laws the people showed that they were ready to pay .t little if necessary, toward the im- provement of the town and incident- ally toward the inlpt•ovesielit. of their own condition and property. it has always been found that Exeter people are ready to do what is right if the matter is placed in such :t light that they understand it. The Connor by- law gives the council the right to grant a free site to the extent of $500 to the company for the establishment of a gasoline engine works, and a fixed taxation of $500 for ten years. The Gibb bylaw empowers the Council to pay for the site occupied by the com- pany. The conditions and agreements as to the payment of the money are such that the citizens are well protect- ed. Considerable good hard work was done by some of the enthusiasts pre- vious to and on the day of the election and the result is very satisfactory to them. The vote stood: Connor By -Law. 1 2 3 4 For 87 70 07 108-338 Against 9 5 15 17- 46 Gibb By -Law For . 87 73 07 105-332 Against 8 8 17 19- 52 In each case it was necessary that 306 votes be recorded for the by-laws to carry them.
