The ,day was a favorable one for bringing out a. large vote, the New Year being ushered in with a Janu- ary thaw, while the weather had a spring lke touch to it. The workers of the difierent candidates were out bright and early, and when the differâ€" at polls onened at nine o'clock there were already vehicles at the doors. loaded down with voters. The vote brought out Was a big one. and an musually large number of ladies marked their ballots for their favor- ite candidates. All day long the work- ers drove their horses after voters, and the excitement kept up without interruptioa until the polls closed. SPLENDID ORGANIZATION. Mr. R. M. Beal, the successful can- didate, had a splendid organizath at his back. He had many old camâ€" paigners working for him. more es- pecially in the east and south wards, and they knew how to get the vote out and got it. This was especially the case in the East Wafi, where Mr. Beal had a majority of 161 over Dr. ‘Wood. In the South Ward the doc- The good old town of Lindsay has witnessed many exciting municipal e1- ections in her history, but the one pulled off Monday was certainly as hot and interesting a contest as the municipality ever held. The people, by them votes, have shown their preference for Mr. R. M. Beal as Mayor, over Dr. Wood, his opponent. Furthermore, they have selected Mr. Hugal Dobson‘ as Second Deputy Reeve in place of Mr. Richard Kylie. The will of the people must prevail. They have spoken. tor was eight under. but he had a. majority of 115 in the North Ward. Mr. R. M. Beal captured the work- ing men’s vote in bulk, besides pol- ling a. very tidy vote among the othâ€" er classes of our citizens. He also got 9. splendid female vote. His majority over Dr. Wood (54 votes). is not large, but it shows that the friends iof both candidates worked hard and got out every get-at-able voteinthe town. 'l'he supporters of Dr. Wood worked equally as hard asthose championing Mr. Beal, and it was not until late in the afternoon that some of the most sanguine began to grow dubious as to the outcome. They were up against a force splendidly organized, for it is a well known fact that Mr.- Beal’s friends got busy immediately, after the nomination meeting, and instituted a thorough canvass, which had its eflect on polling day. They lwere into the fight from the drop of. the hat. and conducted a quiet, but vigorous campa gn. A snort time after the polls had closed the citizens began to gather The returns from the other polling gbooths came in at frequent intervals 'and it was soon known for an abso- ‘pute certainty that Mr. Beal would be ‘Meyor for 1911. The Council Chamber was the last place heard from, and it gave a majority of 39 for the doctor» not enough to ofiset the lead which Mr. Beal had obtained. The following figures tell the story : on the streets anxious to hear the re- sults. The town clerk’s office was soon filled with an expectant crowd. all wanting to learn the news. They had not long to wait, 101' a phone message was received from South Ward No. 3, which gave Dr. Wood two of a majority over Mr. Beal. This was followed by the returns from No. 2 of the same ward, giving 10 of a majority for Mr. Baal. “It's all up with the doctor." re- marped someone, and another citi- zen prophesied Mr. Kylie's defeat, when South Ward No. ‘vaas heard from, with amajority of 33 in favor of Mr. Dobeon.

A year ago Mr. Dobson bumped up against that gentleman for the same position but was buried in an avalanche of some three hundred v'otes This year he opposed Mr. Kylie again and triumphed to the tune of 162 of a ma10rity. The defeat of Mr. Kylie came as a huge surprise to his supporters. He was looked upon as a strong men and it was felt that his years of service in the interests of the town would have stood him in good stead.

So much for the East Ward, where Mr. Dobson got his big votel In the North Ward, where it was expected Mr. Kylie would do well, be was de- feated by Mr. Dobson by 9 votes. In the South Ward another supposed \stronghold he was defeated by 52 of a majority, while in the East Ward‘ he only polled 82 votes, as against Mr. Dobson's 184. It would appear, therefore, from the vote of the citi‘ 28135 in the different wxrds that the determination on their part to de- feat the members of last year's counâ€" cil was pretty general. That ”Time for a change" cry, which did service in larger contests, was acted upon with telling eflect in the fight for the deputy-reeveship. Mr. Dobson conâ€" ducted avery vigorous canvas, while Mr. Kylie was satisfied to let his record speak for itself. He only secur~ 1ed a majority in two polling sub-di- ‘visions at No. 3 South Ward and at the Council Chamber. North Ward. Mr. Dohson's majority was 162.

A sou-in-law said that Bayliss had about $1,500 in the bank, but he refused to buy food, and witness had given him meals on many occasions. Bayliss was found at the top of the stairs, having apparently fallen out oi bed. Other evidence showed that Bay- liss would not part with his money for food. rent. or coal. and he had refused to see a. doctor. He had been strange in his manner since the death of his wife. twelve months ago. He would not change his clothes. and had lived in a miserly way, often depending on his neighbors for a crust of bread. He had even allowed a man out of work to provide him with food. A doctor stated that the‘body was very dirty and very emaciated. There was very little blood in the veins, and practi- cally no fat on the body. Death had been hastened by insufficient food.
