LIONS MEET.
Owing to the fact that the natural
'talents of many of the members
were being used in the struggle for
votes la,t Thursday, . the number
present was hot as large as it might
haev been. However, with 'See Pee
Sills occupying the chair, the meet-
ing was called to order promptly at
6.30: Lion Keating was understudy
to Frank Sills, as Tail Twister, and
was, not so bad either, Lion Chereos
surprised the animals with , areal'
chicken menu and it was remarked by
many that surprises such as the
above are more than delightful. As
a source of amusement and instituted
by Lion C. P. a, new departure was
made when the first edition of '.'The
Lions' Tale" was read to the mem-
bers. Assisting in this work, Lion
John Best acted as Sportitlg Editor
and Printer's Devil. It is a pity that
the Board of 'censors cannot bring
themselves to pass some of the
sparkling passages, otherwise !the
pubic generally could 'benefit by the
brilliancy displayed. In any case, the
effort ,net with such apprval that it
was decided to appoint Lion C. T.
Sills permanent edit"lr and have. the
Lions" Tale" published every second
meeting, the editor to have the as-
sistance of ;,my and all Lions. After
the usual sing -song the meeting ad-
journed with God Save the King.

THE JEAN FOWLER
ENTERTAINMENT.
One of the finest concerts that has
appeared in Seaforth for some time,
was given in Cardno's Hall, last
Thursday evening !by the Jean Fowler
Entertainers, The,.concert was given
under the auspices' of the _ Young
People's League of, North 'Side
United church. Miss Jean Fowler,
who` headed the company, presented
readingsof a very high order. The
contralto voice of Miss Lillian 'Smith
was very pleasing and her numbers
were well rendered. Of the three in
the company, Miss Nina Sparii.ig
perhaps proved the most generally
entertaining. Her violin` selections
'held the audience spell -bound, and
every selection she gave ways repeat-
edly encored. "The Wooden Shoe
Dance,' a characteristic Dutch scene;
a Spanish number and a scene which
contrasted the modern flapper with
girls of -olden days, in which all
three took part, were splendid num-
bers.. As an added attraction, the
election results were announced as
the telegrams were received. This
concert is 'the first of the Lyceum
course of concerts to be given
throughout the winter. The next
concert, the Ulrich Co., magic and
mystery performers, will he given on
Jan. 8th, and Pietro la Verdi, im-
personator and musician, on Feb. 25.

MCMILLA'N BROS. WIN i,,
On Thursday, October 29th, Mr,
Thomas McMillan realized his life's'
ambition when he won first prize„ .ink'
the Federal contest in South Huron
and now, after two previous un-
successful attempts, wears "IvLP,'
after his name. His older brother,
Mr. Robert J. McMillan, Progressive,
candidate, also won a prize in the
contest — the booby prize, which
meant forfeiting his deposit of $200.
Mr. J. J. Merner, Conservative can-
didate was 263 votes below T. Mc-
Millan, but the fact that Seaforth
And neighboring townships gave Mr.
Merner greater support than was,
ever before given a Conservative
dandidate is sufficient testimonial.
In the Provincial contest of 1923
J. M. Govenlpek :had a Liberal ma-
jority in town. In 1904 the late B.
13. Gunn, who was a resident of
Seaforth, and the first Conservative
to capture the riding, received a ma-
jority of 23. Mr. Merner may feel
justly proud of his majority of 110
in. Seaforth last Thursday, which
comes as recognition of all he has
done for the town and his absolute
integrity at all times.
The South Huron fight was unique,
it being the first tinte in Canadian
history, at least, that two brothers
have opposed each other in the poli-
tical 'field, and the outcome was
watched with interest - far beyond
the bounds of the riding. But
among people locally, it is the opinion
'that "Bob" made a splendid foil for
"Tom," as he drew the Conservative -
Progressive vote, while the Liberal -
Progressives were gathered into the
Liberal fold, Itwas very notice-
able that "Bob" was more interested
in rounding up Conservative votes
than Grit votes, even on election day.
Under the old election act, the
polling places were announced a
couple of months before election day
and everyone had a chance to find
out where they voted. This was
changed and 'polling places were not
issued until only 2 or 3 days before
election day. Further confusion was
caused in Seaforth, when on Wed-
nesday afternoon word was sent out
that three of the polis had been
changed. Number Two poll was
moved from Campbell's office on
Main street to J. M. Wilson's
house onChurch street, because of
a leaky roof: then it was discovered
Number Six poll had to be moved
from Regier's Garage to 'Wm.
Wilson's house because it was out
of 'the division; and Number Five
poli was moved from the Carnegie
Library to Regier's Garage. In
Number Two subdivision, in ti,wn,
no notice of the change was posted
at Campbell's and people going
there to vote in the morning wond-
ered if they had made a mistake in
the date of the election) A crippled
lady who had got out with difficulty
to vote at No. 6 poll was told she
would have to continue her journey
to the new station, but was so
disgusted, returned home and re-
fused to 'come out again. If such is
evidence of the efficiency of the
Permanent Returning Officer under
the new Election Act, the sooner 'the
country goes back to the former sys-
tem of an "amateur" returning of-
ficer, the better,
There are a great many people
who would like to know how
Thomas McMillan's name came to be
first on the ballot—how he was
able to tell people beforehand his
name would be at the top of the
ballot paper. The Act says the
names must be arranged alphabeti-
cally, according tb the surnames.
Naturally when the surnames are the
same, one would expect the given
name to be the deciding factor, in
which case R. J. McMillan's name
should have come first
The half holiday for voting was
not generally observed on Thursday
afternoon, with the exception of the
schools, post office and banks. The
weather, has cleared since election
day, so that much can be said in its
favor, but the heavy roads apparent-
ly prevented many from voting as
there were over 1,000 less votes poll-
ed in the riding than in 1921. Fol-
lowing are the. ele_tion results in
South Huron; also the 1921 results
which make interesting comparison,
