C. A
. Robertson Elected To
Represent North
Huron Riding
North Huron Election returns were
no surprise to John Joy.•nt.. He' said:
right from the start. that Mr. Robert
son„would be elected, and later when
he ;found so many. Temperance' Con-
servatives working,hand in hand with
old-time .Liberal politicians, he said
they would, in all' probability roll tip
a majority of over, 2,000 against hien.
Mr. Joytit was never anything but a
true ,temperance roan, and never
thought of giving his support to, Gov-
ernment Control,, its feet he couldn't
have beeti bought to do so, and the
abuse he got from those who knew
better, in this campaign, is the only
reason he has to feel badly. He play-
ed the game like a yuan, and accepted
the nomination,recognizing defeat
from the beginning.
