Village Council Returned by Acclamation Liut keen interest is being shown in the Municipal Elections in the RM. of Eldersley and the R.M. of Connaught is very much in evidence by the well attended nomination meetings held last Monday. Never before in the his tory of the Municipalities has there been so much interest taken as in the forthcoming elections, and long before the nominations at Two o'clock, both halls were well filled by the electorate of the diff erent Municipalities, after the close of minations, meetings were held at which each of the nomina ted candidates were called upon to express their views, a fine limit was however set at the Eldersley meeting for each candidate in view of the fact that the hall had been rented by the Socialist party for a meeting immediately after the lose of nominations; otherwise much more lengthy discussion would have taken place. Every division in Eldersley is being keenly contested, with two candi dates in the field for Reeve. All the candidates were as usual taking their vows and promises of what they would and would not do were they elected to office. Much interest was taken in the short spell handed out by R. McLean Wiets cushing as Reve fom this district, who strongly de nounced the present system of book-keeping adopted by the de partment, and thought that a much more efficient and simpler method should be adopted. In the Municipality north ‘a lively meet ing took place, and criticisms from both candidates and electorate ran life. Only four divisions in this municipality are being contested, ‘the no candidates for divs. 1 and 2 being elected by acclamation. The fight in each division pro mises to be an interesting one, and a heavy poll is expected.
