\GEORGE SPOTTON ®ELECTED WITH AN
INCREASED MAJORITY IN NORTH HURON
Under It sweltering heat on .Mon,
day,
Mon-
day, ;the largest number of electors
lio the history of the riding of North
'Huron .cast their ballots, giving ;Geo,
Spotton, Conservative, a majority of
281, over his opponent, W. I -I, Rob-
ertson, Liberal. This is an increase
of over 100 over his last election,
when he emerged successful in a
three -cornered fight.
Both sides were confident, of vic-
tory up until the returns commenced
to .come in, showing that Mr. Spotton
was making a general gain all over
.the riding, receiving majorities in
Blyth, Goderich, I-lawick, Morris,
Turnberry, , East Wawanosh, West
1Vawanosh and Wingham, while Mr.
Robertson received majorities in Ash-
field, Brussels, Colborne and Grey.
By the time the final returns for,
North Huron -were known the town
..was thronged with people from the
•enighboring municipalities and for a
tune Chief Allen had a busy - time
ilceeping a space clear in the centre of
.the road to allow cars to get through.
As soon as the result was made
-known that Mr. Spotton was again
elected the crowd went. wild, and
three bands took pari in the parade
which was formed, the '.Blyth Citizens
Band, the Wingham Citizens Band,
and the Huron Regiment Bugle Band.
The Bugle Band paraded into the al-
ready packed Town Hall and up to
the platform where bIt•, Spotton was
expressing 1us, thanks to the electors.
Following the local celebration, Mr
:Spotton, the Bugle F;atnd and about
one hundred followers, motored to
"Goderich where he also addressed a
large .number of . the electors, who,.
knowing he was coming, waited till
-nearly midnight.

FOR THE BAND
The Wingham Citizen Band made
their first appearance in their new
uniforms on Tuesday evening when
they attended the Luckriow Tattoo,
112 Thcy hada turnout of twenty men
110 and presented a snappy appearance.
— The uniforms are of navy blue,
222 trimmed with wide black braid and a.
narrow trimming •strip ' of gold braid,
giving them a very distinctive appear-
ance.
The band is under the leadership of
Bandmaster Schatte, and is fast mak-
ing a name. for itself, Ptis hoped that
when they get the uniforms paid for
416 that they will still hold stoney mak-
ing schemes so they may purchase
some new instruments, if this can be
67 done they will have a band that will
100 besecond to none in this section of
79 Ontario.
