Months ago it recalled the names of the big men of the past and lamented that their like were hot available to-day. In those days party politics thrived; in fact, that was about all that did thrive. Doubtless there were big men among them, but what big things did they do for Kingdton? The present sta- tus of the city furnishes an abund- ant answer. The Standard, *in order to serve party.and selfish purposes, raised the political standard, and camou- flaged it by calling upon the people to elect a new set of men to repre- sent them around the council board. Just how successful was the move is shown by the fact that the Givens- | danger exists wherever the automo- | bile 4s used, and Sir Thomas White {only remedy against the | of the snnocents." iw properly deal with the situation. has issued a letter to the public de- manding more drastic laws as the "Slaughter "The fact is,' he states, "that the existing law and regulations relating to automobiles are whally Inadequate TAke criminal prosecution, It 1s practically no deterrent.

Sargent and Willlam McCart- ney, and even Ald. Angrove, its mayoralty candidate, sought, in a letter to the press, to "gét out from under." Not only did the Standard fail to elect more than three new men, but the cause it champloned--the appeal to party prejudice--brought about the defeat of three experienced members 'gf the city council, Messrs Bawden, Graham and Cohen. It in- duced new men to come out in order to split the vote in three wards. It also lead to the defeat of a new man, Kenneth CaFson, a young, progres- sive, business man who made an er- cellent run in St. Lawrence ward. Of course, he could not be tolerated because he happened to be a Liberal, --and the Standard was playing the political game for all it was worth. The Whig had one object to serve in the recent election, and that was the desire to Keep politics out of the eity council. It fought the .combin-. ation that sought, for purely selfish purposes, to gain control of the council under the plea that it wanted 8 better type of aldermen.
