Norman Garrett, Principal NORTH HURON ELECTION CASE (London Free Press) The scene of action in the North Huron election tangle has been shift ed to the Ontario Sirprenie Court, thence to the appellate division and back to the eottnty judge who cpnduc- ted the recount. After all, Jtidge Le- wis .has had the most difficult position of any. In the brief conrnelit which his honor has permitted himself .in re- gard,to'developments in the case Jud- ge Lewis points out that :to hini it is entirely a matter. of carrying out the law as it appears on the statute books, and that he is not concerned as to how the interpretation affects the re- spective candidates. The ,general- 'ptlb- lie,, of course, is chiefly interested in the result of such interpretation and not -the law itself, At the same time there appears to be a general disposi- tion to uphold the county jtidge in his declaration that the law, as finally de- COMMUNICATION Editor,' Wingltani Advance -Times: bear Sir,— Will you. please allow space in' your. parser to reply'to an item in your pa- per of last, week's issue over the' sig- nature of J., C.

In accordance with the above reso- lution, the roll was revised and' re- written as reference to the ctnimiiti- ion roll will show.

EAST WAWANOSH The congregation of Brick United Churchheld a most enjoyable social evening at the horse. of Mr. and Mrs. John Beecroft on Thursday, Miss Laura Robinson, seen days last week sty Toronto. ew .disallowed the 342 he did not know for whom they were cast. His cour- se was approved at the time' by the London Advertiser, which said: "The judge is right in. his claim that the se-' crecy of the ballot must be maintain- ed, and he pursued the logical course in refusing to count the ballots." The 'Advertiser at that time urged a by- election as the only way to clear up the situation. It might also be pointed out that in 1921 Hon. R. B. Bennett was counted out in Calgary solely because a large number of voter's marked their ballots for him with 'a fountain pen rather than with a lead pencil as provided for by law. There was no doubt of the intention of the voters. Mr. Ben- nett, if these ballots had been counted would have had a substantial majori- ty. If the secrecy of the ballot is to be maintained certain procedure must be laid down and followed. If the law is clumsy or leads to miscar- riage of justice then it should be al- tered. The very ,foundation stone of responsible government is' the surety that the intentions of the people will be carried out in the election of re presentatives to Parliament. ST.
