Page 2 THE HAILEYBURIAN THURS., DECEMBER 5th, 1929 D.R.O. is Discharged | From Poll in Cobalt Unprecedented Situation Arises in Municipal Fight in Silver Town An incident unprecedented in the municipal history of Cobalt, occurred at the annual elections on Monday, when it was found necessary by A. W. Harrington, the Returning Officer, to change the deputy Returning Officer at one of the polls in the course of the day, following the receipt of a number of complaints from ratepayers. As a result of the polling, A. Z. Trudel, Joseph Robitaille and Ed- win Boughton, of this year's board, go back for another term, and they will be accompanied by Albert Presse, Ovila Chenette and William Smith, newcomers. Thomas Wainwright and Albert Elliott, of the 1929 council, went down to defeat, as did also Mar- tin Buderick, running for the first time. All other offices in town were filled by acclamation. The Returning Officer removed half-way through the polling per- iod was Alonzo Fortin, in charge of the voting at H. J. Hawken's store on Lang Street. Some complaints that he was leaving the poll were made to Mr. Har- rington, and the latter visited the poll during the morning. Things temporarly were straightened out seven polls. The north end of the town generally supported the four French-Canadian candidates and the south end stayed with jfour of the English-speaking no- Iminees, but with not quite the same emphatic support. The elec- tion was quiet during the morn- ing, but livened up later in the day, the north end turning out more strongly than the other sec- tions of the town.

Sisters Re-United Mary and Ellen are sisters, 22 and 23 years of age. Their parents are both dead, and the girls must need provide for themselves. Mary had just begun to earn a comfortable wage when she was stricken with consumption and had to go to the Muskoka Hospital. Ellen, left to her own resources, having to work harder than ever, soon proved unequal to the task-- long exposure to the disease through close contact with her sister, coupled With overwork, brought the inevit- abie result; a few months later she too was compelled to give up and join her sister in the hospital. There both girls are doing well, and their restoration to health is con- fidently expected. but further protests regarding} Would you not like to help in such rere ade later on work as this?
