PRINCE EDWARD Fred S. Newman is Promi- nently Mentioned to Oppose Picton, Oct. 25.--To all appearances, the Prince Edward by-electicn on No- vember 12th is going to be a straight wet and dey fight, with a candidate who represents all the anti-government control forces out against Horace Col- liver, the Ferguson candidate and the formidable array which this fusion will bring into line on the temperance is-' ste is the one that was behind Hou. W. E. Raney in his successful fight in the general election last vear. The Liberal Party's convention is to be held on Wednesday afternoon, but in view of a conference today be- tween Dr. Gagfield Platt, ~hairman of the Prince Edward Liberal Associa- t'on, and J. H, Porte, chairman of the United Temperance executive, it is likely that the Liberal convention will he followed closely by a united mect- ing of temperance forces, who will announce a candidate to oppose Mr. Colliver on a straight anti-government control issue. Until today it had been hoped at the county Liberal headquarters, that Hon.

The fight, it is felt, is still more than a party ome, and a full opportunity will be given the dry Tory and U.F.O. forces that come out last year in opposition to Mr. Fer- gusor's liquor policy to maintain the position they took then. \ F. S. Newman Favored : As to who the candidate will be, i speculation is rife, but a considerable weight of opinion favors Fred S. New- man, who in seven terms as Mayor of Picton, has beaten the late Richard Whittington's record of municipal ser- vice rather handily. Mr. New! n who held the mayoral office in 19) 1920, 1921, 1922, 1923, 1925 and 1926, the last time by acclamation, is one of Prince Edward's outstanding tem- { perance workers and one of ' those whose convictions were sufficiently strong to makc them throw off the party allegiance and work against the government liquor policy when it was placed before the electorate. : li Mr. Newman makes the expected entry into the arena, however, it will he a reductant one, "1 was approach- ed by a number of people of all tem- perance parties when the election was { first announced, but I told them then, | us I do now, that personally I haven't ! the least desire to be in politics," he told a reporter today. "But if the people want a candidate who is op- posed to Premier Ferguson's liquor policy, as I am opposed to it, and they want me to run, I may still consider it" Among others the name of Rev. Ben Spence has been mentioned in cons nection with the dry candidacy, while from all over the province messages heve come to J. H. Porte, the dry executive president, urging him to run. While Mr. Porte disclaims any mten- tiog of entering the field, the gossip on the stre€t places the mantle oi the dry candidate either .on his or Mr. | Newman's suoulacr.. !

On the other hand Simpson again jswore than when the body of the dead man had been exhumed upon instructions of the Attorney-General Mrs. Gallop had remarked: "It must have been the pills the doctor gave him that caused his death," refer- ving to certain remedies which had been prescribed for him when he was suffering from intestinal trou- ble, and whi'h the witness said the doctor himself had admitted it con- tairied a small proportion of strych- nine.
