should be thrown out, and any man
who knowingly has cast such vote
should be prosecuted. From what we
have been able to ascertain the cleo
ton was unusually safeguarded this
year and we shall be surprised if any
illegal voting will be proven.
If the Court holds that the election
was regular in all particulars and the
"Dry" plurality stands up it will then
be the duty of all good citizens to
stand behind the officers in enforcing
the law. Under the new charter the
mayor is alone responsible for the
police and their actions. The city will
have to go through readjustment
which will take few months, but any
claims that Sank Centre will go to the
bow-wows if the town goes wet or
dry is silly twaddle, or that farmers
will not come to this city if they cam
not buy booze; this claim is an in
suit to the farmers.
The experience of other cities who
have gone through this change does
not bear out this claim.
The grass will not grow in the
streets Of Sank Centre if the courts
hold that the "Dry" victory is valid.

THE ELECTION CONTEST.

The city is in more or less of a tur.
MOL because of the pending contest by
the "Wet" inerests over the outcome
of the recent city election by which
the town went dry by the small plur-
atty of one vote.
While the writer would have voted
dry had he been home, nevertheless
the Herald is not disposed to criticise
the opposition for instituting the
contest.
There seems to be an impression in
some quarters that the City Council
should allow the contest to go by
default. The City of Sank Centre has
been named as defendant in the con-
test action. The City Council were
the canvassing board under the law.
The results of the election returned by
the judges of election indicated that
the "Drys" had won the election by a
plurality of one vote. The Council
are bound, and it is only right and
proper that they should defend the
election result. Had the "Drys" lost
out by one vote and started contest
the Council would in that case have
been in duty bound to defend the
"Wet" side of the case.
The Herald hopes that the case will
be speedily adjudicated in order that
the City can settle down to it's regular
routine once more. Good men are
lined up either side of the case.
While the complaint is full of
generalities which appear to charge
that fraud has been perpretrated, the
idea was likely to make the complaint
broad enough to take in all phases of
the case as they develop. However,
the City will very properly insist up
on specific charges before the case
comes to actual trial. The findings of
the three men appointed to revise the
count will no doubt have important
bearing upon the final outcome.
On the question of illegal voting this
paper has strong convictions. Any
vote so cast, whether "Wet' 'or "Dry''
