I will explain what happened: Mrs. licArthur and Mrs. McNaulty ap- plied for ballots. They both reside in Glenelg, but the D. R. 0. said .that women could not vote for ' stunty councillors and gave them a municipal ballot which they both used. After they had left the poll- }ingbooth,but not the premises, I 3 exPlained to several parties that the l women had a perfect right- to vote, 1 and that a certain candidate had lost ifour votes by these two women not ;voting. One of this man’s agents lquickly saw the D. R. O. and ex- : plaided this to him, after which they ,hunted up the women and brought them again to the D. R. 0. who then i gave them a county ballot. I think ithis was loose work for officers to i cond uct the pe0p1ts’ Franchise. 1f gthese OfliCt‘I‘S had not been so self Epufiecl up they might have known, 3as it was published in all the Local inapers as well as the city papers. gThanking you Mr. Editor for the 3' Space.

The children gave evidence of good training in their recitations, songs and choruses. The singing reflects great credit on Mr. Barnhouse under whose instruct- ion they had been drilled. Rev. Mr. Malian, the pastor filled the chair, and his genial presence did much to make the meeting a pleasant one. .\1 r. \Vm Clayton. who has held the office of librarian foraquarter of a century resigned the position. Dur- ing those years Mr. q'Clayton was absent only seventeen Sundays, and only one through i lnes. Rev. Mr. \Iarten Presbyterian student, and Rev.
