The subject should be properly dis- cussed at a public meeting called by the Reeve where all the Electors can attend and give views if they wisb, stud hear both sides discussed ss both sides get an opportunity to do so and where tbe whole bistory of the move- ment can be properly explained to them. They will then be in a position to vote intelligently on the question, both in their own interest and In the interests of Brussels. Item yours, AN ELECTOR, East Huron Liberals Meet In Convention. W.
