London, April 27th.-The election Of
Field Marshal Won Hindenburg to the
German Presidency IS regrettabIe, but
not catastrophe, in the opinion Of the
various European countries, except
France, where the German people, by
e~lecting the Field Marshal, are held TO
have thrown off the mask and issued a
challenge to France and the Allies. The
Paris press appears to believe that not
much separates Won hlndenDurg and
monarchic militarism.

Dear Sir
Please to permit me space in your
valuable columns, as this is the last day
OF the campaign.
a6ramso0 did not intend to say any
thing. or 10 take up your valuable tine,
but since 50 much has been SAID against
M from idlers--a man that has opposed
the same man char they today are sup
porting; il is what we can expect aad
nothing better; The saying goes this
way: "A dog that brings bones is bound
to carry bones. Ii goes without saying
in 1917 when | was first elected il was 10
nv surprise as iRever have had the mind
aOouf coming a member Of the Colonial
Council. Now at that time our Council
man, ID. e. Cauegata supported me
strongly to oppose Mr.. d. II. Jackson.
also Mr.. r. d. ChaberC, | at that time
came out victorious, then again IN 1921
he also supported me strongly against
the said r. ID. CaaOert, and the next
man, Mr.. j. Alexander, but | believe he
had every rignt TO do this, since | had
worked very hard for him for his first
election to G. Coun il. Now this is to the
voters, my people, it you believe that |
have not done the best for you during my
term for the eight years which you have
elected me as your man it is all left to
your nun good will; but as | know that
/ have done the best to my ability for
you all as for the welfare Of any country,
>and VIII continue to DO so whether in
C5o,ncll or out Of council (as | can only
do tA& best to my ability and do not come
out on the platform 10 say that can de,
mand thiA or do that or do this. since |
know for MY eight years experience that
without the Asupport Of the members Of
the Council noJhing whatsoever can be
achieved. Spee&1 is very good for some
things Dat not every ching that we want
less talk better result. Thanking you
Tor space in your valuable columns.
Yours very truly,

New Conner is the right one 10 be voted

TO The Editor "'The AVjs''.
Dear Mr.. Editor

10 4 U6 LGttDf IfC0 L UCo =
Dear Mr.. Editor
|, Of necessity am making final
remarks to my fellow voters. This is
really and truly the most dangerous and
risky Election Campaign, that st. Cr0iX
has ever known; sure am | that If not
the most dangerous, it is just IS hazard
Gus as any before we may 60 back half
q century,. Some may ask-W5efe is the
risk? The risk my dear felIoV voter or
voters lies in the fact; that after every
one has had his axe veil Waatted and
ready for use, the gjarIng possibility IS
that, bis own axe may cat off his
head for the first.
Now Voters: Il is yet time to be eau
tious in yoar actions. 1t is trla, you
nave had q good deal forced down your
Threats. not through your mouths, but
through ears and eyes; much from the
believing voices at the theatre; much
from The smart editorials. and the bold
and anonymous letters in the "Iribune";
and after all, Whea everything is duly
considered and said where are we still
left? Why we are yet Iefr TO 0ur own
personal judgments, u own convictions,
and last, but not least, on our " res
ponsi0iiilies ? This man talks 10 you
about tie other man having his axe to
grind-that is so; buI fellow voters: have
you not clearly seen, even at this par
~ticuiar time, that eUery mdH has an axe
to grind %surela; be ii an iron or steel
axe, a cold or silver On2-eVary son OF
Adam mas an axe to grind. The man
who, in the fgurative sense is not 50
situated tod Y ia St. Croix, | I'M sure
thaljf you look in tha palm ot his hands,
you viii surely find hair growing there.
VOTERS: 1t is well known, that in
all human affairs Change and decay III
all around We see, is is only IN Divine
matters, change is not therefore as our
affairs allow change to be, and VIII be,
you must look at what nPcessilates
change now. Never mind what you
thought Of doing before. TO az today,
this 1st day Of May 1925: circumstances
Justify a change OF your opinion; what
you did not know last week or yesterday,
you know now today if il be q hall
promise or even a whole that you made
before-things' that were hidden then,
are made clear to you now. 90 to the
Polls look al ABRAMSON'S and TUFTS
names on the Ticket, and be reminded
that Abrams0n has served for eight
years, without any failure IN doing
the right thing to you: his constituents

references to the life of the young
