To the Electors
LADIES AND .GENTLEMEN,—
Contrary to any personal
intention., but cot iceding +to
the urgent request of numer-
ous friends in Brussels, I find
myself again a candidate for
the Reeveship for 1908, I
may say thatI have accepted
the Nomination purely in the
interests of the village. I
have no axes to grind—can
you trust me ? If so, 1 will
be pleased to get a vote from
one and all on Mondaynext.
Thanking you for past favors,
I am,
Yours Respectfully,
J, LECKIE.
P, S.—I am informed -that certain
parties in town are circulating a story
certain to the effect that a rt tn lot Has been
purchased by me for a Carnegie Lib-
rary, and that the town is paying taxes
on same. The only answer I have to
make is that the whole story is a bare-
faced lie from start to finish. I bought
the lot id question and paid for it be-
cause I thought it was cheap, and I
paid the taxes on it, If the vile circa
lator of such falsehoods wants the lot
he can buy it from me at my price and
get'a clear title, and the same offer is
open to anyone bo -day who is prepared
to purchase at a reasonable margin of
le of Brussels
profit. I trust the
people p
have more common sense than to lis-
ten to any such falsehoods being cir-
culated for election purposes only.
