IA“? us be greater New” noble as we o l tor We stood by the issue and fought for that issue on its merits. At the last moment our opponents gave the alarm, ' that there was another and greater issueâ€"an attack on the po- lice commission. That was a. telling cry. It likely decided the contest. We do not think there was any issue of the sort. No doubt individuals here and there talked of restoring Mr. Bell but no candidate had any idea. of doing such a. thing. It was no't hard to hear sinister things on the street that could have been need against 'our opponents. Trumping up issues is an easy task.

Our aim was simply to do what we could to' secure the removal of the fireball from the market square. That was only the logical outcome of our. or- iginal contention that the hall should not be built on the square. When the foundation .'was built at. a. cost. of between $500Aand $600 our task was vastly increased. We were aware of that, but while there was anything left to be done for our cause, we could not turn back. Moreover we are ashamed, neither of our cause nor of our efforts in its behalf. An attempt to keep clear the mars ket plot of a growing tOWn like this,is no unworthy attempt. Its merit will be more apparent as the days go by. For public interests of that sort we shall always be glad to fight losing battles. We trust that the methods of our campaign did no vio- lence to proper ideals of public dis- cussion. , Any departure from fair play, courteous expression or cordial relationships would cause us more regret than being beaten at the polls. We simply tried to make the issue clear and by reason and persuasion to win the people to our opinion â€" doing the. things that a. newspaper ought to do. .. _._C,, 3{And that should be no harddhip [The , prospecm of the new industry and the proposition that is now pre- sentedtothemrmerrenderaueesy task his part of the undertaking.
