Geo. S. Henry won a decisive victory over Levi Annis, Liberal-Pro- hibitionist in East York on Wednes- day, having a majority of about six thousand. The north end of the rid- ing in many places gave substantial majorities against the government but they Were small in comparison to the votes piled up in more thickly populated sections. ' HENRY HAD A Mr. Annis conducted a very creditâ€" able campaign and the same can be said for the member-elect. The con- test in East York was not marred by many of the objectionable features noticeable elsewhere. The prohibition candidate entered the fight at a late hour in the campaign and considering the odds against him polled a good vote which is a tribute to the per- sonal character of the candidate. Mr. Henry has represented the riding for a number of years and his vic- tory is evidence of the unwavering confidence of the electors. Richmond Hill gave a majority of 84 to Annis out of a total vote of 560. A detailed account of the results will be published next week as it was impossible-to secure official figures at the time of going to press. Sale of Home-Made baking includ- ing Christmas dainties, novelties for Christmas and candy will be held Saturday afternoon, December 11th at 3 p.m. in the store of Mrs. Switz- er.

THOMPSON i President of the newly organized,i Richmond Hill Ratepayers’ Associa-‘ tion, under whose direction an ag~ gressive program for the develop- ment of the district will be carried 1 out. Mr. Thompson prefers action to i words and already has well under way a clearly defined campaign work- ‘ ing under three committees, Publicity Transportation and Real Estate and; Public Works. Although practically a new residentl in the town Mr. Thompson does not liked to be calledi “Newcomer” as he prefers the term “New Helper.” He possesses the desirable gifts 'of executive ability and leadership qualities which make him an ideal man for the presidency of the organization which is deter- mined to do some real work for Richmond Hill. Conservatives Wen Decisive (Victory ' In The Province Ontario ,has spoken at the polls and in nofiuncertain manner has re- newed the mandate of Hon. G. How- ard Ferguson and his government. The Ontario Temperance Act which was vigorously defended by those who believed that its retention was in the best interests of the province has been turned down in favor of “Some- thing New.” That a general desire to give some other system a chance contributed largely to the victory we have no doubt. It is said that an old country man is no good here until he has at least one trip home. So it may be that the 0. T. A. could not be entirely satis- factory until we have given some other system a chance. All who have the interests of true temperance at heart will now sincer- ely hope that the new law will ac- complish all that has been claimed for it. If it will banish the “Bootleg- ger, Reduce Drinking and Restore Respect for Law and Order the el- ectors will have little to regret. Time alone will tell and Mr. Fergus- on and his Government Control will like all leaders and legislation be judged by results. Seventy-five Conservatives, Four- teen Liberals, ten‘Progressives four Liberal-Progressives, One Labor and one Prohibitionist have been elected in one of the most strenuously con- tested elections in history. One of or two seats are still doubtful. ‘Toronto as Was expected returned a solid Tory representation. West South and East York did likewise but Warden P. W. Pearson won a notable victory in North York over Wm. Keith with a majority of about 1,500. The three leaders, Sinclair2 Fergus- on and Raney are returned, but Nick- le was badly beaten in Kingston. The results were received locally without any marked enthusiasm. The Liberal telephone was kept busy dur- ing the evening giving out the latest results and many heard the returns by radio. The issue was so definitely decided that at an early hour it was conceded that Ferguson would have a majority over all. ’ The provincial election is over and now the towns, villages afld town- ships will soon be in the midst of an- other contest, but this time the issue be of a more local character.
