Mr. McMillan is too well known to need any introduction, as -he has been associated with the Farmers' Institute for years, and has de- livered addresses all over the county. The Liberals have made no mistake in nominating him to the position, and with loyal work to him by all the Liberals South Huron can again be placed in the Liberal columns at the next elections. comms 'tte ae of The executive i South Huron met in the town hall in the forenoon and took up the routine business of the riding. l At one o'clock the' scrutineers Were busy examining n and reported on the delegates' credentials. Mr. Henry Smith. president, called the meeting to order and asked the delegates fo name )their candi. dates. Those named were,— Owen Geiger, Hensall. Thos. McMillan, Hullett, Jacob Killerman, Dashwood. R. G. Seldom Exeter. r M. Y. McLean, Seafor•th. Rol:pert' Gardner, Usbornp. Wm. Brydone, Clinton, Henry Smith, Hay P.O. Alex. Mustard, Brucefield. • 41 0 4> ar 0.04.414 ,4.04 All retired except the first three who made ten -minute addressee, and the vote was polled, Mr. Mc- Millan receiving the majority. On motion ofr. Kellerman Mand seconded, by Mr. Geiger, the nom- ix.ation was made unanimous. Mr. F. F. Pardee, Liberal whip at Ottawa, addressed the meeting and urged the' delegates to get busy and help the candidate in his campaign. Mr. McMillan, was greeted with loud applause, and after thanking the convention, made a short speech and stated he would get right, d' own to Work. Mr. M. Y. McLean, the old war horse of South .Huron, also ad- dressed the meeting, and stated that the convention had made no mistake in the selection of Mr. McMillan, and if elected he would be heard in the House, and not be a blockhead like some of the members of Old Huron. BACK TO "EIGHT DAYS " There is a possibility, not to say a strong probability, that if the war with Germany does not come to an end this ,'winter, Canadians will have to go back to the old sul- phur matches. The basis of the potash combination used to make the heads of the improved "parlor' match, comes 'from Germany, and nowhere else can it be had appar- ently. Sulphur can be had in .this country and in the United States For use in the, manufacture of gunpowder, sulphur -is contraband of war, but for match purposes im- ports can be brought into Canada from neutral countries without breach of the laws of warfare. Women are Doing Great work The members of the AVomen's Patriotic and Relief Association continue very enthusiastic in their good work. There was a large at- tendance at the meeting Last Fri- day. Two new names were added to the roll, and the society now boasts" a membership of 156. The ladies are all busy knitting socks, scarfs, wristlets, etc., and sewing supplies for the Red- Cross. All work is to be finished and brought in the third week in November. Before, shipping the bale there Will be an exhibition of work in the town hall, where all interested may see what the Clinton women are doing to supply the needs of Tommy Aitke.ns. At the Friday meeting the ladies decided to send one hundred dol- lars to the Belgian Relief Fund. As a great many people had ex- pressed their sympathy -for the stricken Belgians, it was decided not to send the cheque until Wed- nesday, so that anyone wishiug to • contribute might do so. The (treasurer's report was pre- sented, The receipts, including the balance from last Selecting, amounted to $220.74; the expendi- tures to $151.41, thus there was a balance on hand of $69.33.

Municipal Election Day The Revised Statues of Ontario 1914 make provision for the hold- ing municipal elutions on New Year's Day,.provided the municipal council passes a by-law on or be- fore November the fifeeth, fixing that date. Heretofore this has been a privilege enjoyed only by cities. The advisability of taking advantage in Clinton of the op- portunity offered (by the new Statues is aquestion on which many views can doubtless be expressed and it would be interesting to know just what the opinions of the vot ere are. The council also might dig cuss the matter and give the peop le their opinions. Members of the council are no doubt vitally inter- ested in the municipal election if precedents are always significant and indicative.' Relative to the opportunity of forded for making a change in the election days it might be stated in opposition to such a course 'that owing to the festivities of the oc- casion many electors would be out of town. This fact in itself would make unpopular the move to alter the date among those who usually spend New Year's with friends . t 1 a distance as well as with the can- didates seeking municipal honors I as their aim naturally would be to get in touch with the greatest pos Bible number of votes. On the other hand it might be said in favor of changing the date that New Year's -being a holiday all available voters could not be expected to offer any excuse, that their work prevented them from going to the polls. The question however, is one that The New Era does not purpose to go into fully as there are many substantial arg uments that probably can he offer ed both for and against from an individual standpoint. It is a ques- tion in which all ratepayers should be deeply interested and before any action is taken it would be interest ing to know their opinions. What will give the greatest satisfaction to the greatest number is the pot icy that should be followed and with the hope of ascertaining their views, The New Era extends an invitation to ratepayyevs to publicy discuss the matter through its col umns. By this means the real ad ✓ antages and disadvantages as rate ratepayers see them would soon be made known. lowed. thMe vNAl*f.
