The particuTars Of MANY wrong

Tie evidence is beyond doubt
Ira. frauds q! the most shameless
character were perpetratei al the
February election and that through
them the Liberal majority was
secured. Gentlemen who were
without douJt elected 10 city offices
az, now kept out u their places by
'.I-iblrd-' usurpers who, with all
yse frauds committed in thei. inter
e-,. did not obtain enough votes to
elect them Ia their own municipal
wards.
TIE same sort Of fraud. IN several
respects, i:ss carried tine city for 4
majority Of Liberal" nominees on
the school board. In the Third
slumcipal Ward it did not prevail.
Ia the Fourth Il apparently gives
ore "LibezaI'' candidate a maiolity
Of two. The frauds resorted to, if
exposed as they should be, would
turn the scales largely the other
way. There i not the shadow Of 4
doubt in the minds Of people in the
Fourth Prcciac; that the Peoples
candidates were both elected by the
legal votes east at The polls.
We hope that the apathy which
followed the fraudulent election in
February viii not overtake the
People after the school election.

This election has demonstrated
rhe fac. that many People, party
voters stayed away from the polls
because they were sure Of being de-

Liberals would strike oil the lists

We want all such Peoples Party
