During the closing week of the cam
paign the air has been surcharged with
the sulphurous emanations of the Har'
rison campaign hot air artists.
One incident was intended TO he used
for the purpose of injurlng Graeme
Stewart. the Republican candidate fol
the Mayoralty before the people. bu,
like several other cunning but shallow
campaign lodges. 1t has simply recoil
ed upon its authors. This was the ride
ulous'hullabulloo about the calling on
of the militia" In connection with ,
phantom raid on the ballot boxes dur
ing the first day or two of the pas
week. There never was any idea II
anybody's mind about calling out th'
militia save In those of HarrisOn''
campaign hot air and buncombe artists
In certain ways. in this case. as IN
other we could refer to. the dispensers
Of campaign hot air left certain loop
holes through which the people were
enabled to see the mountcbank buf
foonery beneath.
The developments proved the truth
of the assertion made by thoughtful
citizens that the hue and cry about
calling out the militia and SO forth
was not warranted by fact, but was
intended to humbug the public and
swerve the peoples minds from the
real issues involved In this campaign.
No raid was ever contemplated and
there was no raid.
SO. 1t will be seen. the whole cum
ming. shallow pated trick Of the Harri.
son campaign managers ultimately re-
solved itself into a comedy Of errors,
and reflected upon nobody but its
authors.
Meantime Graeme Stewart continued
the even tenor Of his campaign while
