Some time ago it would have heen very hard for the people to believe that such a thing as this could be accomplished. Sir Robert Borden had declared that Canada was in the war to give her last man and her last dollar to bring about victory, and the people of Canada applauded this statement from the Premier. There was no other way to keep up the tight than by sending over reinforcements. Sir Wilfrid Laurier had opposed comn- scription, but the speaker declared that this was the fair method, Was it fair that some boys should go to the front while others remained at home to take the jobs of those who The speaker de- plored the fact that Quebec was not doing her "bit' in the war, and de- clared that Sir Wilfrid Laurier could have united Canada as Can- jlada had mever been united before, #1 if he had but accepted the only measure--that of reinforcements for the front If Sir Wikrid hao gone into Quebec with this plat- form he would have been able to have won many seats, and the racial trouble would have been wiped out The speaker believed that if Sir Wilfrid Laurier was fifteen years younger he would have under- taken this. "We have got to get together and to stand by the Military Service Act until the war is ended. The Tragedy of Canada. There were some who declared that the Union Government was no- thing but a Conservative party, but it was known that prominent men in the ranks of the Conservative party and Liberal party had joined themselves together. The old Grit and Tory party was but an "organ- ized squabble," and it was hard to get unity out of a squabble. (Laugh- ter.) Sir Robert Borden realized the stress. He had a vision which sank deep in his heart, and he was determined to see that the men at the front got reinforcements. And in taking this stand Sir Robert di the right thing. The Union Gov- ernment was the straightest Gov- ernment Canada ever had, and Sir Robert Borden was doing a most patriotic work when he formed it. "If you want to stay with your party get behind the Union Govern- ment," remarked Mr. Godfrey to the old-time Liberals. He stated further that all the leading Liberals in Canada, outside of Quebec, were with the new G v- ernment. He regarded the positicn of Quebec as the tragedy of Canada. "National unity is what we want, and need more than anything else," he added. Mr. Godfrey declared that all chat was needed in Quebec to bring about a different attitude towards the war was that of an educational cani- paign. vince had taken mp the met this great crisis. If the people of Quebec had been told why we were in the war, that we were not fighting in this war for England alone, but for Canada and their pwn Mother Country, a far different story would be told to-day concera- ing Quebec. The speaker at this stage refer- red to the gallant work of the Cun adians at the front, and told what they were called upon ito do, and the many sacrifices they were making. In closing he made a most urgen* appeal to the electors to draw away from . party, and to do the right thing for the (boys in the trenches. This was the only issue, he declared, in this elettion.

The speaker then gave a vivid pic- ture of the part the Canadians are taking in the war, and referring to the attitude in Quebec stated that the situatten in this province was vastly due to "ignorance and rotten leader- ship." There was splendid material in Quebec, but desperate conditions of leadership had prevailed. As a re- sult, there was no material avail- able, and there was no unity.

(Covery has been a surprise to myself as well as all who know of my dread- ful condition," said Walter B. Brown, 32 Yorkville Street, Toronto, re- cently. Mr. Brown, who has been a resident of Toronto all his life, was for many years a traveling salesman, and is now employed by the Robert Simpson Company. He is a member of the Masonic Lodge, also of the Commercial Travelers' Association, and is highly respected by all who know him. "If I could have had Tanlac five years ago," continued Mr. Brown, "I could have saved myself not only a world of suffering, but more than a thousand dollars, which I paid out for other treatment and medicines that failed to do me any good. I don't believe anyone ever had a worse case of stomach trouble than I had. In fact, I got so bad off I was given up to die by my family and friends, and = PAGE THREE rpm-- 'had lost about all hope myself of ever getting well..

I felt that life was hardly worth living, and lost all faith in medicines.

The speaker warmly praised the work of Sir Thomas White, Finance Minister, and said that his name should be coupled with that of Sir Robert Borden, two great men in the war. The best elements of Canada in both the Conservative and Liberal ranks had banded themselves to- gether, and had stated that Si* Rob- ert. Borden should lead them in this great struggle. The appeal 'was for more men, and the electors should forget all party politics. "You ~ould never Mave: been af Conservative or a Liberal," sald the speaker, addressing the women, "as you never had a vote before (Laugh- ter).

We could prove the fact that lies are being told if we but had the time, but there is not sufficient time for all. this." Mr. Rigney asked whether or not the electors were going to allow party politics to divert their minds at this crucial stage. Fveryone should recognize that a crisis was at hand, and rise to the occasion. The Can- ada to-day was not the Canada of some months ago. 'Are you going to strengthen tlie arm of Sir Robert Borden?' asked the speaker, "or are you going to let the old party divisions prevail?" Mr. Rigney paid a worthy tribute to Mr. Nickle. and appealed to everyone to rally to his support on election day.
