One Week More
Only one week remains
before the 1952 council
manic election comes to a
close. The campaign is as
furious as it is interesting
and this time the voter has
no excuse for staying aw
ay from the polis.
Unfortunately, t here
has been too much person
al abuse, and there has
been little discussion of
issues. Charges and count
er charges imputing
Wron%doinés in and out
of pubiic office -have filled
the air. Although: candi
dates have said some pret
ty rough things about each
other the c¢ampaign has
not had much vio
lence. The nearest we have
come to violence was a
threatened stoning atHas-j
sel Have and a powder
pufl ‘exchange between
two candidates.
The mterfi&gf&e o:;lm
munity in the e é&% ction has
never been keener. T’ ou
sands of persons are turn
ing out regularly to hear
lectures, and the issues of
the campaign ure being
taken into many homes by
radio. There is every rea
son to believe that t he
turnout of voters this year
will reach record propor
tions. -
Some candidates ha ve
been spending large sums
of money in a desperate
effort to win the election.
One in Earticular, has
flooded the town with
hundreds of photograhs &
posters printed in the Uni
ted States, is circulating
thousands of buttons with
his photograph andslogan,
and is saglfi to be paying
pers ns to canvas for votes!
In various sections of the
city. If the election is tol
be decided by the amount
of money being spent, this|
candidate should win
hands down. l
Without venturing to
make a n y predictions. it
seems to be almost a unan
imous view that at least
two of the present members
of the Council will be re
tired from office on Nov
ember 4,
