was the moat harmonious and eiithuaiaaueeon- velillou oftheuberau of thai con stituency held for many years in ouelph mr carter received the unanlmouo nomination of the 300 delegat pres ent only one other name that of ix heatings city manager of quelpb was submitted to the conven tion but mr hastings immediately declined ihe nomination and moved amidst cheers that mr carter be the unanimous choice mr carter was not at the meeting when l he was dominated but a deputation waltud on him immediately at his born and when he arrived at the city hall a abort time later his entry was the signal for prolonged applause you have invited me to be your candidate said mr carter when he arose to address the convention ojirt i would be very unemotional indeed if i did not feel elated at the honor done toe- especially as i did not seek and in no way dhracuy or indirectly did i eoltctttn bopor but before ac cepting it i wgat to apeak plainly mr carter then informed tha conven tion that a snggesuon had already been made to hint by provincial v p o officials that he be tb candidate of the farmers in boutb wellington and he realised that without the united strength of tha progressive forces in the tiding it would bp impossible to beat hon hugh guthrie tba present member i have no wish to return to publla ufel mm mr carter -but- i will aacriooe lay home 1u principally be cause t am very much opposed to the actions of the present member who la only being made a tool of by the conservative party in order to smash the liberals a rought for unionism in order to win the war but i have no use for the brand of unionism of hon hugh guthrie now presented i am in sympathy with hon mr king in then position he holds and i believe he is in the beet position to aelenuncslly and honestly administer the affair of canada bus before no- oepllng the nomination x demand the right u differ from mr king if my conscience demands that i should do so llso want to make it clear that should i be elected and mr crerejr beeome the leader of the oovemment e will also extend my support to him until he proves that he u not worthy of it mr carter told the convention that be would seek tho support of the partner party in south wellington he believed- that he understood their aspirations regarding the marketing of their goods better than anyone else because for the post ten year he had been president of tha cooperative union ot canada if elected be would favor a government banking system to enable tha termors of western canada to market their grain you have asked me to be your
