Thepolitical forces are now face to face anýd a ivlshýort an)d interesting conteatsî is beforeý us. Bohcandidates are in, the f!ield and arc giving the glad hand to the clectors. Vote for Beith and goad government. Last week we recounted tome of the conditions in favor of Mr. R. Bcitb's candidature, There are many more and we invite electors to think carefuily and intelligently ove-r the situation before deciding how to vote. Presuming that the reader bas rcad what we wrote last lwcek about M4r. Beith's ciaimý;, we invite ail interested to come and reason togeth- er over Mr, C. Jonas Thornton's dlaims to support In discu ssing bis candida- ture, we desire to be f air and respectful Wo him, disapproving of abuse and personality. We wish to be clearly, understood at this point, howevcr Mr. Thoraton is now a public man asking for public support la a political conteat, and as such ahaof bis public, actions and sayings arc fairly open to criticism and discussion. There are now only- two recognized p olitical parties in cîther House of Parliament in Canada, and we are informed that Mr. Thornton doca not dlaim allegience to cither party, there fore as we sec bis position lie bas no dlaim whatever an the adhcrcnts of either politicai Party, and sucli being bhis posi- tion no elector Gitl or Tory is under the slîghest obligation to vote for him at thîs election. W'e now appeal ta farmers and al engaed in pursuits outside, of the town. Aside from political bias altogether, is Robert- Beith or Jonas Thornton the better man to -look ai ter your interests at Ottawa? Make thisa personal question. Suppose you are personally interested in some scheme or enterprise that icquires recognition and financial assistance from t1his Government-a Liberal Goverament -and'you want to send thc man who will have the most influence with the Government, which of these twa genti- mien would you choose to tendý? Here isq Mr. Beith well and favorably known to every member of the Government, nat only to the supporters of the Goveraiment but a man highly thouglit of and whose opinion on agricultural and farm stock interesîs is always Foiight by members, of the Cabinet also when necessary. Further more. there is no Libera ate Hueo Commons, we are informed, wiho is more respected by the Conservative members than Mr Beith and lie bas the expressed desire of some of them at least that bce may be returned ta Ottawa.
