Ontario Liberalism [Montreal Gazette] The election in North Grey to fill the vacancy in the Ontario Legislature caused by the retire- ment of Mr. A. G. MacKay has been followed by a somewhat free criticism by Liberals of the leader- ship and policy of Mr. N. W. At the general election'in 1912 out of a hundred and six members returned only twenty. three were declared Liberals, and the bye-clections since occurring have reduced this moderate figure. Those who are eager for results do not regard such a situation a% happy, and Mr. Rowell is by some of them regarded as the man to Llame.

It doestiot seem to have won anything else, however, and, as was noted in North Grey, even where the prevalence of local op: tion prohibition is favored, the majority of the electors would not vote for the Liberal-Alliance " nom inee. The free speaking ott in meeting that has since been heard may be taken to indicate that the Liberal party as a whole is far from being prohibitiohist. One Western pap- er, The Simcoe Reformer has advo- cated the calling of a Provincial party convention, practically in order" that the present seeming connection between the leadership and the Dominion Alliance may be cut.. Another, The Windsor Record suggests that the party should stand by the guns that have been given it till the next general election, adding: "It is sale 'Liberals will be beaten, beaten : . and will bein a position to throw off for ever the millstone of the Dominion Alliance aod proceed with the real policies of Liberalism." - There is "more of the same, kind, leading up to a declaration by The Record that the ed, and providing mild stimulants from that of hard intoxicants, is the olicy the Province. erals and surely n | will agree that The | are those that in bring the Peas for: the sale of : sa t Grand, buried with the honours fraternity..
