E. Cardiff Wins by Small Margin Euston Cardiff, Coneervatirve stan- dard bearer in Hriron Norah was the visitor by a scant 29 votes whlch leaves the outeorne somewhat doubt- fu1 until the soldiers' vote is, table Iated. That may net be ter n week. Mr, Cardiff's home town of Brus- sels and hie own township of Mor- ris both gave him a majority. The straight two-man fight brought out a small vote, due to the extremely had condition of the snow-flllod' roads, making it almost an impossibility for many 'farmers to reach the polis, R, J. Deachnna, who wrested the traditional Conservative stronghold to the Liberal side in 1935 said he had "every .confidence' that when the eoldier vote is known, he will 'be elected. However the Con- serwaelvest have little fear thea Mr. Cardiff will lose out in the final results when .the soldiers vete is tabulated. With figures for the riding com- pleted, except for the eolddeas' votes, the figures were 5,897 for Cardiff and 5,868 for Deachman, The vitors celebrated with a torchlight parade in Wingham.
