It must not however be taken as a one | sided opinion for the reason there are | many who recognize the shortcomings | complained of and believe they should | be remedied by enabling act.

''The trouble is" said the captain, "the return have not justified the trouble that the of San Simon have gone to in the way of registering and voting"

An of the records will show a great amount of valuable results, con- the opportunities afforded.
