The People’s Forum [The “Age” in no way associates itself with views expressed by correspondents.] MAYORAL ‘ELECTION Sir.—l am also very interested ie a query which I am sure you will be able to answer. What went wrong' with the politics, ability or character of Mr. Archibald ag Mayor in the short space of five days? In your issue of October 31st Mr. j Archibald appears t: be the white j headed boy and in vcui issue of Nov- | ember 3rd, you adopt a very disparag- j ing tone—in fact a complete sorner ! sault. As the Editor, and to a great extent our local adviser on intneate matters of local politics, youv attitude is dir- j turbing. I feel sura there is merit in Mr. \ Nilsson’s suggestion that the candid- j ates call a meeting and express their views. Yours, etc., J. PEARSON, Church Ed. To the query of the above letter, j the answer is “Nothing” and all that j was said in the firrt leader was meant, as were the queries of the second. ! This paper merely waits the answer 1 to its own query put in fairness to : the candidates standing, and in fail- j ness to the general pu'mc who await , also an answer. There has h» m no j volte face, and this paper wants no other than to give every candidate a j chance to explain any thing which ! might seem doubtful T t is a public | right to know the answers and it 5 s : the duty of a newspaper to ask the J questions on behalf of the public. We j agree with the suggestion o f Mr. Nilsson and Mr. Pearson.— Editor.
