To-morrow (Tliursday) every elector cf West Durham and every other con- stitueucy lu this Province will have the privilege cf marking lis ballot for the Ross Administration, unquestionably one cf the best Goveruments this or any other country ever had. Ontario is en- vied by every other Provincoe, being the oniv country baving a surplus cf over two anida-haîf million dollars. No sensible man should ever tlîink cf vot- ing against tbe Ross Government. The man in West Durham 'who is pledged to support the Ross Govern- ment if elected is Mr. William Rîihard. We are very auxions tbat lie shail be elected for this reason. We- believe hie will he electcd, as ieodeserves te be. We do net think it necessary to repeat wbat we have written before about M r. Rickard's claims ou the electors and bis superior qualifications for the office cf M. P. P. We may just say. bowever, that lie was the unanimous choie of a verY large convention, composel cf repre- sentative men from every part cf West Durbam; be waý cousidered the best man available for the position at that time. Nothing lias since transpired te change that decîsion, All things ccit sidered, we kno wcf no better man wbe woulcl accept the responsibility te ho fcund in the countv. Mr. Rickard's long municipal experience, bis exten- sive and successful business career, tbe knowledge gained cf public necessities PUritY in personal and pelilical life. 11e sets a worlbv example to the young mon of ibis couîîfry.

Sucl a man ia William Rickard. 11e s far [rom perfect or infallible, but we kaew lhe possesscs the qualities we have stated and they are essential in a m"rn- ber cf Parliament, Gîve hlm a chance to prove bis fltncss for the position. Mr Reid lias bean our member eight years and done practically nothiug but draw bis salary. Let him stand aside for four years te give William Rickiard an opDortunity te show what a live, capable, energeiiic andinufluiential repre- sentatîve can do. No ari bas a divime right te the office. The election is fer four vears. if amember does.net make himsôlf active in prcmeting proper leg- islation and in sccuring all advantages possible for bis constituents and cou- stituency during that peried lhe sliould be bold te "Go away back and sit down" and give a botter man a chance.
