Mr. Cantelon, in conversation with The News -Record the other day said he eemetnbered the circum- stances very well. He had been ou'1 west with a shipment of apples and intended to be home in time for nomination but was ,delayed. Mis name was put up nomination night and it was expected that he would he home in time to qualify but on teach- ing Toronto he found that he would not be, so telephoned the town clerk, the late D. L. Macpherson, to suggest that his brother, Peter, who had power of attorney from him in his absence, he allowed to sign up for him, But that would not do, the clerk said. So he could not enter the contest. On reaching home two or three hours after the time limit• had expired he was met at the sta- tion by Mr. B. J. Gibbings, who was later elected, who asked him for his support. Thio -lie promised and gave, "I gave him my support be• caues he was in favor of waterworks fes vhieh lie were agitating then," • said Mr. Centelon: ?Tr.
