DUBLIN
A violent. clash of. personali-
ties and factions during an elec-
tion to choose separate school
trustees for McKillop and Hibbert
brought to a rapid end a rate-
payers' meeting that was marred
frequently in its six -hour dura-
tion by loud outbursts from a
crowded Dublin schoolroom, Wed-
nesday last.
The election stalemate came c
as an angry crowd, including e
some teen-agers, moved in on the
chairman's table to dispute the H
election procedure. Moments eat- t
er two Ontario Provincial Police
constables, summoned earlier by t
special Frontiersmen officers on b
duty in the school since 10 a.m., E
arrived, and the election was t
called off. t
There were evidently two op- s
Posing parties, each seeking to s
have its own way in the election. f
The disagreement arose when r
itwas announced that under a h
new Department of Education G
ruling, five trustees are needed s
for the union section of McKillop b
and Hibbert. Two trustees elected i'
previously still have terms re- o

Nevertheless, speaker afte
speaker was interrupted, by heck

speeches was put into force.
It took almost an hour at the
first of the meeting to elect a
chairman. Some favored a show
ofhands to choose between Mr.
O'Reilly... and James McQuaid,
others wanted the vote by secret
ballot. Then the question of who
could vote arose. A letter from
Rev. J. Finn of London was read
by a constable, and it contained
information on the eligibility of
voters.
After Mr. O'Reilly lead countei
a show of hands and was declared
chairman of the meeting, Zach
Ryan moved that the meeting be
termed illegal and be adjourned
because Mr. O'Reilly had been a
candidate and had also counted
the hands.
The resolution that the meeting
be adjourned on the grounds it
was illegal was put forward at
least five times. during the day.
The next problem the ratepay.
ers faced was the election of a
secretary for the meeting, Two
were named—iLeonard Maloney
and Martin Klinkhammer — and
after a second show of hands, Mr.
Klinkhammer was chosen with a
majority of 16 votes.
