(See Editorial, Page 4) Winnipeg Communists poll big vote, fail to elect Communist candidates in the Winnipeg civic elections showed increased strength this year, but failed to get elected. W. A. Kardash, Ward 3 aldermanic candidate, polled 3,453 first choice votes (the city uses a transferable vote system) and placed fourth in a field of eight, with three to be elected. Last year, Joseph Zuken was elected with 3.002 votes. Mourn death of W. Irvine The death of veteran social- ist William Irvine in Alberta last week, after a long illness, is being mourned by many Canadians. The National Executive Committee of the Communist Party of Canada sent the fol- lowing message to Mrs. W. Irvine: “Please accept our deepest sympathy in this hour of your grievous loss. You have the comfort of knowing that your husband’s life was devoted to peace and the happiness of the people and that even through his last years of ill- ness and pain he bravely, selflessly and to the very last day of his life, continued his work for his ideals. Thou- sands of Canadians who knew and respected him mourn with you.” In Ward 2, Don Currie drew 638 votes for alderman, compared to 424 last year. School Trustee Mary Kar- dash volled 4,677 votes in Ward 3..but was squeezed out in a 5-way contest for two seats. She placed third. In West Kildonan, the municipality bordering on Winnipeg’s Ward 3, Phil Ger- shuny, running for councillor, received 1,353 votes — the highest total ever received by a progressive candidate there. The reults leave a Com- munist member on both the Winnipeg City Council and School Board. The NDP in- creased their representation in council by two — they will now have five out of 18 alderman — and in the school board by one, where they now have three out of 15 trustees.
