WI -IAT ABOUT ELECTIONS? There- is much street talk about elections. Clintorrs.-oldest 'industry is talking of running -a man for the .eouneil; Mr. Langford may ' come ont again' he candidate for the •couri- eil; •lVfr.` Cooper may aspire to 'the layeship and the present reeve may daide to •''stick" if he can: •' The Maioralty will bffer some excite - India as a dark horse may 'appear on nonunation night. ° • The general -feeling seenis to be • that there will ' be -an election-con- testfor all the seats this year and, as a bylaw is to be .voted on, enough 'candidates ought to he pht up so •that a` choice- may be 'made by the electors. 'In a. town. of 'Clinton's sire it- is a healthy sign to see enough interest manifested" in 'municipal af- fairs so that a contest is surd. And citizens need not feel disgruntled if they offer themselves for a seat at the council and the voters choose someone else over' their heads. It there is a contest 'someone is bound to be left. It were well to put up enough inert so that no Matter who is Chosen we shall have a good coun- cil. What about electing a woniaii to the Public school banal this year?
