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. TI'iANKSGIVING DANCE.

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.

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, S. HURON VOTE, OCT. 29, 1925. EXETER. Thomas Robert J.
