' l a ‘ The elections for 1917 have pass. ed into history, bringing manv changes in different localities. gladdening the hearts of some and saddening the hearts of others. There was ""a contest in Durham fa- members of the council only, Mavo Laidlaw and Reeve Calder havino been elected by acclanfa- ti.) . For the council, there ~were eighteen candidates nominated, an! of 311ese, eleven enterel the contest. As only six were required to fill the positions, five had- to be rejected.

As the father of three boys and one daughter, now in uniform, and doing their bit he should have received the consider- ation of the electors and get a place at the table by a goo’l substantial vote. Things are hard. son ,times, to account for, and fl little reflection before the mark- ins): of the ballots might have re- sulted differently. However, we can’t alter things now, and as we alwavs think a loval citizen should abide by the will of the maiority, We must accept the cl».- cision of the people. Some had to lose, and no doubt they are all good sports and will accept the decision of the electors wits the best of grace. There was a feeling in some minds that .T C. Adams would be first in the race but a person can never make 1 safe guess about an election. Mr. Matthews is a comparatively new man in town, and we heard him av.- ? spoken of, but his ability has nJ'r been wed known or apprecE-- ated.

The High School by-laW was for $1,000. and some of the opponents may have thought it would be better to pay it all at once and be done with it. We congratulate the elected members and hope the council of 1917 may be a model for other councils to follow. The fight in Normanby was a hot one, all the seats being con- tested. For the reev‘eship, Andrew Schenk took 412 motes, while his opponent, Mr. Hohm, had. only 272. a majority for Mr. Schenk of 140. For the deputy-reev‘eship, the contest was more even, Mr. Filsin- ger haviing defeated Mr. Umbach by only 17 voges.‘ “u--- -‘-â€" ‘ For the de‘puty-reeveship, there jwere four in the field, Messrs. H.G. Brigham, Empke, Fischer and Turnbull, but Brigham led, with 199 votes to his credit, and. had a maiority of 40 over Fischer, his next nearest competitor. The! couhoil-élect consists of Messrs. Booth, Barber and Fischer. In Bentinck, there was a trian- gular fight for the reeveship-, Messrs. Lunney, Metcalfe and Putherbou h being the contest- ants. As . Metcalfe had a ma- tority of 70 over the combined vote of the other tWo, his position is quite safe. 4., _ M'Iâ€"‘iliefifiiembers of‘the council were elected by acclamation, as follows' Fred .
