HOSPITAL BOARD ELECTION. ! To the Editor. Sir, —I notice in the Daily News an advertisement by a candidate for the above board, asking for sympathy. Is not this rather unusual, asking for sympathy before being elected? Perhaps it is because the candidate is strange to public life, which accounts, no doubt, for nis nomination paper being signed by the returning officer for Egmont as one of his nominators.—l am, etc., A RATEPAYER.
