TERRITORY ELECTION PUT TO MUSIC

Found recently in a Townsville antique shop called The Speckled Hen , run by a book loving French lady, is this piece of 1924 sheet music , a ballad which  explains the affaire de coeur responsible for the embarrassing cackle over the situation in the Darwin seat of Johnston . Another catchy tune, a love song , DEAR ONE , arranged for energetic strumming of the ukulele , is included . Yet another song applicable to the election campaign seems to be the popular melody performed with gusto in hunting, fishing and shooting circles - I DIDN’T KNOW THE GUN WAS LOADED .
