It wav expected that they wobld ‘VeAmmend thin tb kept 'operating. * Milt that only order would be aot to dlamanUe the d remove the machinery, laavlag h tip Id th> Company whether or mi i» VoBtfo Ate the plant. la'this ev«it. the madhlnery and equipment would have soon deteriorated aad become practically worth leas, and this would, perhaps. have’ catfaed the Company to continue operating.

Kegardleea of the results of Tuesday's election, the campaign conducted by Samuel A. 1 inning, the DemocraUc candidate for Assembly, could hardly have met with the approval ol the falr-thlnklng members of bis own party. It has been our belief, and still la. that In polllica a man should be attacked and criticised solely on his record and part performance la public life; that bis personal and pri vale affairs should he left entirely

This, however, did not appear to be, the policy of Mr. Lannlng, or bis campaign managers.

it was explained to the country press that the male adVm of dairy breeds do not make profitable beet animals—that the grown animal will not sell for enough to pay the cost of production.
