Taylor, the independent Reform candidate, had. a large audience in the Town Hall last night, but it was by no means sympathetic. Mr. W. C. E. George, chairman of the Town Board, presided. Mr. Taylor was sharply questioned about his work as a constable in Huntly during the 1913 strike. He said he was employed by the Government and did his duty as he was told to do it.
