Vannor an should have been given a hearing b the Council before his dismissal, and "that summary dis- missal by a Counc 1 in its dying hours, has a decidedly ar itrary look, and will lead many to t nk that there was something else be ind the act.'' Coun- cillor Elliott can h nestly say thatnoth- ing other than loo ing to the best in- terests of the to n influenced him in the casting of his vote for the dismiss- al of Mr. Vann. man. Nor have we ever in any publ c position allowed a petty difference of opinion to influence us in the dischare of public duty. We believe this is al.o true of the other members of Cou cil who voted for dis- missal. Men in Munici.al Councils should not, and usually do n. t, allow themselves to be tied down to ny one clique or fact- ion. Do your plin and honest duty, should be the ai of every man in municipal life. Were the mem ers of the 1912 Coun- cil elected to ho! office and transact business only unti December 2nd, 1912, or until their suc.•ssors were installed in office? Why the difference in per- forming a duty i December than if the same duty were s erformed in July. Other town o cials have been ap- pointed in the d -ing hours of a Coun- cil and we hear no complaint. Why the complaint in the recent case? Mr. Wyles, a ormer manager of the Electric Light t' epartment was dismiss- ed without a h aring. Did the Com- mittee of that ear make a mistake? Mr. Ransden also' a former manager of the Electric 1 ight Department was dismissed with.ut a hearing. It is gen- erally admitted that the Committee did not make a mi ,ake? Did Postma er Fisher get a hear- ing or any wa ning before he was noti- fied to vacate the living rooms in the post office but ding? Was that giving a man British ustice and a fair deal. The Chief . f the Fire Brigade at Guelph was di missed without a hearing on account of wearing at his men while on duty. Did the Guelph authorities deal unfairly with their Fire Chief? Did the Wingl am Council deal unfairly when the me bers of the Council had at first had ta happenings on the 16th of October wh n the Fire Inspector vis- ited Wingham? Did the the numerous Postmasters, Collectors of lustoms and other officials who have bee dismissed by both Lib- eral and Co ^ervative Governments, without a hear'ng, get British Justice? County C1er1 Lane, of Goderich had his commission o issue marriage licenses withdrawn wit out any warning. Was it a square deal? The Postmas er at Winchester, after serving in the . ifice for over sixty years was dismissed ecently, and without first getting a haring. Vote for the candidate who will hors_ eitly look after ' OUR interests. It is YOUR' duty to 'eke the selection of men you think q alified to fill the var- ious positions. We are all part ers in the affairs of the town and rat payers should see that good men are plated as managers of the affairs of Wingha . It is true that t ouncillor Elliott is the paid officer of a umber of societies s1 companies and h is proud to think t t the members of t ese organizations 1. . e the confidence in him to place him in the various respo sible positions, some of which he has h Id for a number of years. If the go d people of Wingham elect Councillor E liott as Reeve he will find time to give honest and faithful service. We are of usually found ne- glecting any dutyyy'' Councillor Ellio t has been supplying the Town with hi share of the printing for fifteen and half years and at a price as low and i many cases lower than other munieipalit es in the county pay for the same el ss of work. The law permits a news per man to serve in the Council and at the same time do printing and ad rtising for the muni= eipality. We hop to spendmany more years as a good ci izen of Wingham; re- ceive our share f municipal printing, and to do our ful share in boosting the town, through th pres, and privately. , Band ill Serenade.
