CLUFF & SONS CATTLE WERE MIXED Ur IN POLITICS IN TOWN'S EARLY DAYS Bill Powell Tells Of Elec- tion Issue in Years Agone. BY-LAW IS PASSED 'Croaked Horn's` forebears at some period came. from., Ayrshire, Crooked Harm .was the self-ap-poiinted leader of the town's cows, and her party would get into a daily muddle at Ben- son's corners, which, if you do not know, was opposite Tom Downie's stables on John Street, in the newly incorporated town of Seaforth. Around the Benson- corner were sev- eral stately, maples. .Crooked Horn and her pals could not have chosen a !better spot—nor a worse one. An editor and a lawyer three ` or four times a day had to use the two plank sidewalk going and corning. to their daily tasks and toil. Crooked Horn arid' her pals forced detours at this corner for the lawsmdth and the edi tor. ,In short, the Crooked. Horn group left their marks all over the planks. Thereby the story that a- dorns this colds., tail. ' 'Cloaked Horn and her horned 'party got into the hews columns of The Expositor. ' She had to learn what politicians,and others had learned, and havto learn 'neeer monkey with a newspaper." It's more deadly than a buzz saw—and gets where it is going. 'The Expositor urged aby-law pro- hibiting Crooked Horn and other cows the free, right to the streets of the town of Seaforth aforesaid'. The .cow owners formed a League .of Nations. Conferences were held each day, as• the "one o'clock" pulled into the railroad station at from 80 to 90 minutes after 12 noon. The less punctual the train, • the longer the conference. ,Bran, mash was all. right in its way. to Crooked Horn. But she ; likod.•hers with cablbage or lettuce Salad as a chaser. These meant balanced rations' with the necessary ivitamines for good measure. She used her croak- ed horn to advantage. The horn was as necessary as a Stinson wrench to a plurnlber. !She opened gates which STAFFA prevented her ingress to cabbage or lettuce. The horn had another use, when she planted her left hind foot in a dog's rubs, and he didn't roll over at least a .•half dozen rolls, the horn helped him on his rolls. 'This was propaganda all. dressed up for the editor—the cabbage and the lettuce and the honied burglar of cowless citizens' gardens. There were 'always a couple of the league of na- tions around the railroad• yard when the freight trains got to Seaforth. Cows mixed up with cowcatchers of locorruotives are a bad mix for cows. The League of Nations was unto the cowcatchers'. curves. 'Pat of the -League of Nations own- ed two cows, and because of owner- ship rights"he elected himself chair- man of the conference. The other members owned but obs cow each. Pat's two cows, only entitled him to one vote at municipal elections. In that 'respect he was no • better off than Jake, Sandy, Mike, Donald or Blinkin' Jack. A printer's devil they had an eye for. So they selected him as a sort of•-•spatch carrier of the editor's. Whenever the p. d. got within earshot of the conference, Pat would vent his wisdom thusly: "I won't vote aur 4cLean," to which Mike would assent in the same brogue. .Sandy and Donald, more guarded in unison, would proclaim, "I'll no vote for McLean." Jake who originated acmes the Rhine, would relieve himself, "I won't vote„ fur 'MeLean," while Blinkin' Jack got it out of hili., "No chawnce, I shall not vote for the .blinkin' bleeder." The League of Nations lived in the south end of the town along the border of Little Scotland. The north end of Seaforth of that time 'vas more aristrotractic — one family owned goats.
