club its news But a limited report staff makes it impossible for on the spot reporting at all times and we must count on a club secretary for such a meet ing report Our mail bag column becomes limited too at election time and we cannot use letters from dates or their supporters boosting them or knocking another If candidates wish to get the r story across in The Herald must be in a news story or in
