Elections for Toronto Daily Star ’ Another instance of a Ive enterprise on the part of the “Toronto Daily Star” is furnished by its action in sending to England - a member of its staff. Mr. Joseph T. Clark, to remain there until the close of the British Election'Campaign. Since the 14th of December Mr. Clark’s cables appearing in the "Star" have been commanding attention and favorable comment. Never before has a Canadian paper afforded its readers the means of following day by day a _British Election Campaign so intelligently. Cabling is an expenswe operation, but the ” Star ” does not spare expense when there isan opportunity to serve its readers.

Truth compelled him to say that. in his own business at least, trade had not increased during the past year or two as it should do. He had not seen any evidence of trade coming to Barrie because of Local Option in Orillia, and he did not believe Barrie had benefited one iota from this cause. tion that is being made that Barrie is drawing trade from Orillia on account of Local Option being in force in the latter town. Mayor Vair said that one thing that struck him since he came to Orillia was the peace and quietness in the hotel in which he was staying, so different from what was found in hotels THEY 00 T0 DRILLIA TO SHOP. truthfully described as masterpiecas. The British Elections are being covered in the ‘ 'Star" by no less than four distinct services, two of them exclusive to the " Star," as follows: 1.

During his business career he had become reasonably familiar With the faces of his customers. As he was in the men's furnishings business, ninety per cent. of his trade was done With men. He had watched closely to see whether any unfamiliar faces had ap- peared in Barrie after Local Option had been passed in Orillia. He had not seen of trade had gone to Barrie berause of . Local Option in Orillia. On the other hand, more than a score of times moth- ers had told him, when he enquired why they now came to town so seldom, that they were influencing their sons and husbands to go to Orillia to shop, because there were no bars there to tempt them. Licenses were an injury to Barrie-not a help. He had no doubt that Local Option would get the re- quired 60 per cent. in Barrie the next time it was voted upon. He hoped that Orillia would re-enact the by-law with any. He did not believe that $10 worth 90 per cent“ _W Somerville Council. Council met Deo'r 15th. All the mem- BORN.
