CITY SOUTH ELECTION.

TO THE EDITOB. M§ Possibly it will be helpful to my fell m low-voters to indicate why, in my judgment,-®® Mr. R. Tudehope should replace the sitting Mo member. At the last election for the South nt Ward the issue was between .he moral ele4;Pl ment in the ward and the purely financial ; ' There was also a civic awakening as to the importance of the power of the liquor ring ® in civic affairs being curtailed. As far the South Ward is concerned Mr. Julian (wliaV.|s is not by any mem- a bad sort) stands as a m liquor representative. Two instances may bo . 1 < given. Mr. Julian is a member of the Licen- ■ sing Committee, he with his colleagues Wi'sg the responsibility of forcing eleven o'clock?: t|f licenses upon the city, with its evil results, S." vide the recent letter by Mr. J. Mitchell. <•,. The same gentleman was extremely anxious to grant a license for tie contemplated liquor §§[ bar at our recent Exhibition. This is the fint|i!p opportunity we have had of showing ou'|ts opinion of a man who subordinates our in-' ffljj terests to that of the publicans. So. on tha r I polling day, on this occasion, at all events, I-£if strike out the top line, so as to retain a mea- !ij," sure of consistency with my action last year,' Es| -I am, etc,, ' ' Crrr South. .£§|
