Sands was then asked to take the chair, and before calling on Dr. Ross, he remarked that it was once more necessary to select candidates: for the House of Com- mons. In this respect Kingston can always put forward first class men, not only one, but two, and thg only regret was that they could not both be sent to represent the city in Ot- tawa, He then introduced Dr. Ross. Dr. Ross Speaks. In opening his address, Dr. Ross first stated that he could show many precedents for his leaving the provincial house to enter the federal arena, for which he had been criti- cized. When men like W. I'. Nickle and Hon, William Harty had done this in years past, he felt fully jus- tified in accepting the nomination to-day. The question of how Canada had fulfilled her war obligations was taken up by the speaker. We are all tired of war, he said, but this coun- try had taken upon herself some pe- enn ---- HUSBAND AND WIFE Ay husband always dips his bread | Inscumenta) in bringing the only iia is-at liberty on $40,000 bail. fn his coffee. --K.M.M. _ What Does Your Husband De 2 } { country with foreign goods and close The | (and said: | Utilities Commission, where he had | iting German families to one off- for hydro power and finally his werk al o lin the legislature at Toronto.

This has been done to every ex- | tent, and done well, even if there are | some complaints in some quarters, | and covered herself with glory by | s0 doing. After the war a big problem | arose as to the burden of 1boking af- | ter the war widows and orphans. | This had also been accomplished. These pensions and funds were now costing the country one million dol- lars a day. The training of disabled veterans and the land settlement scheme was taken up, by the doctor at length, and also the great Increase through the years of the war in the fund al- lowed for the support of the wives and children. The government, he | sald, met each of these situations as they occurred and dealt with them and increased thelr grants according- ly. And they had given a promise that the hoapital and free treatment would be continued until re-estab- lishment had been completed. "I do not think that anyone would have the heart to come out and say that we should refuse this help." Condition of Canada. THe condition of Canada at the present time came in for a consider- able portion of Dr. Ross' speech. When these half-million men return- ed, their jobs were filled, and while re-adjustment was taking place, na- turally there was unemployment. The munition works were closed and shipping was reduced, and manufac- tured goods could not be transmitted. Another reason is that we are purch- | asing vast amounts of goods outside | of Canada, this purchasing money be- ing used in other countries, when it | should be used here to create em- ployment. The speaker then took up the various classes of goods import- ed from the United States, and claim- ed that this was one of the main causes for the present unemployment situation in Canada. As far as King- ston was concerned, there was the lo- comotive works, our knitting and textile mills, piano factory, and oth- ers which would all be vast indus- tries if the money sent away was used in our own country, No man can say: "Elect me and 1 will give you work," said Dr. Ross. This is impossible, but the thing to | do is to elect a government, which will be given a mandate to set up a stable policy and protect our factor- ies and our workers, ql roy Policy. Dr. ss then had some remarks to make concerning the Hon, Mr. Crerar's policy, which, he stated, was free trade, which would swamp the up our manufacturing plants. platform of Mr. King, who leads the Liberal party, admits the same policy in most respects, The personal war record of the Liberal leader also was taken up, and, gccording to the speaker, he had deserted his country: in the time of trouble to work for: another government. If a govern- ment is formed from either .of. these parties, the country would go down in the depths of poverty, our indus-~ tries would be closed, and we would have to depend entirely on agricul- ture for support, said the doctor. ° The present government recognizes the fact that they immediazeiy re- lieve the present labor situation. but they had done all in their pow- er. They had offered to pay one- third of the cost to the municipali- ties of any work started for the un- employed, and this was indeed a fair offer, But this alone could never bring conditions back to normal; we must have a high tariff bringing in sufficient revenue to pay ail our debts and new construction. His Personal Record. The speaker then tock up more personal matters, and. remarked that the Whig had stated that his only interest was sport. He review- ed his record in sport in this city, "Fwice 1 helped to bring | { | CAMPBELL AND ROSS ARE | {The Delegates of the Powers !candidature. a dominion championship to Kings- ton.

E TARIFF IS A FIRST DUTY Would Be First Work of Lib- erals If Returned to Power. TO REVIS Three Rivers, Que. Nov. 22.--S8ir Lomer Gouin, speaking here ,declar- ed hig hope, if he went to Ottawa, of accomplishing the same work which be.and his colleagues had done for the province of Quebec, bringing to the dominion a similar degree of stability and prosperity. He was vig- orously applauded by some 5,000 cit- izens of both sexes as he pushed his way through the crowded drill hall in which the meeting was held. Re- {turning to the attack on the question of the railways, Sir Lomer took the figures of the Minister of Railways and declared that these put Mr. M than before. The first work of a Lib- eral government would be to revise the tariff.

AREVENGEFUL SPIRIT SEEN This Is One View of France By the London Press. London, Nov, 22.--One section of the press, commenting on Briand's speech, sees in France's militarism a revengeful spirit. Another, which is constantly distrustful of Germany, regards France as justified in keep- ing prepared for a possible fresh out- break. The Times, Daily Muil and | Dally Telegraph express sympathy with France's position, France is accused by the Daily i Chronicle of maintaining a hostile | policy towards Russia, and the pa- | per asks what the French statesmen | would like done 'to Germany that has not been done. The Daily Ex- press hints that France must make sacrifices in the interests of peace. French Opinion. Paris, Nov. 22.--"France speaks through the mouth of Briand," is the most universal caption in the French press this morning. The only ex- ception to this tone which embodies « sense of satisfaction, is taken by the communist E"Humanite, which uses the headline, "Briand Defends France's Militarism."

With the heads of the great powers working on naval reduction plans here, there are indications that an agreement on all but the details is near. $200 Sent to Progressive For His Election Deposit Ottawa, Nov. 22.--Ddvid Lough- nan, Independent Progressive candl- date for Ottawa in the forthcoming dominion elections, has just received a striking token of approval of his | A prominent citizen of O'tawa who is not a voter in this constituency has forwarded a check 'o the association headquarters for $200 to cover Mr. Loughnan's election deposit.

Ottawa, Nov. 22.--Nominations took piace If every tonstitwency in Canada. This is the first election in which this has occurred. Some years ago four or five seats were al- ways held in reserve. Afterwards the number was reduced to two. To- day even in the Yukon, nominations take place and polling as well on the 6th of December. One of the reasons for allowing the lapse of two weeks between nomination and voting was to permit of the poll being taken simultaneously in all of the electoral divisions. There is but one defect in the act, according to the director of elections. No pro- vision is made for any poll being held at all where, in the thirteen days between nomination and poll- ing, it is impossible by reason of re- imoteness, to get the ballots to any {particular place.

TENSE SCENE 'THE FARMERS OVER FRANCE Peril Faced By French Nation. Washington, Nos. 22. --"Hera is what » ance s position do in her place?" Ths, in fect was the question put up by the Armament Conference by Premier Briand yesterday. In introducing the problem of land armaments, the French premier alse placed before the delegates the great problem' of his country --the ever present fear of the spirit of hatred and revenge in Germany--placed it before them in a direct, forceful way, that created a very profound impres- sion, ,and made the third plenary session in one sense, the most pre- tentous and dramftic of the meetings held thus far, : And to heighten the dramatic ef- fect, there came the immediate re- sponse of the British empire, given with impressive solemnity, by Mr. Balfour. "That the liberties of France should be guarded and maintained, is the cause for which the British em- pire fought, and the cause in which the British empire still believes," he declared. "How could it be supposed that if a similar necessity were to | arise and the peace and safety of our neighbors and allies were again to be threatened, our sympathies would be- see them perish before our eyes, before mak- ing further sacrifices?" Dramatic Effect, Overything about M. Briand's ech tended toward dramatic ef- t.

Morrisburg, Nov, 22.--The storm which has been hovering over the | heads of the directors of the United | Farmers' Co-Operative Company for the past few weeks threatens now to {break in fury at the annual meeting next month. Ominous indeed are the mutter- ings of the farmers scattered throughout the province who are | going to Toronto on December 13th |for the 'show down' at Massey Mall. Here in Morrisburg is one of the | strongholds of the United Farmers' | Co-operative business. Robert H. Ashton, the builder of this big East- ern Ontario business among the farmers in a dozen agricultural coun- ties, is one of. the leading directors of the Co-Operative Company, with {headquarters at 130 [East King | street, Toronto, and Mr. Ashton has | declared that he will go before the {thousands of shareholders next | month and ask for a new policy and |a new directorate and management {for the United Farmers' Co-Opera- | tive Company of Ontario. Robert Ashton has been but one | year on the board of this company, | but that year, he eays, was long enough to show him that the Farm- | ers' Co-Operative can only succeed if { put in the hands of capable managers {and taken out of the hands of poli- ticians. | "I am going to insist that politi- | cal end of the United Farmers move- i ment be immediately separated qnce land for all from the co-operative | business end." | world--had been forecast in the brief | address which he delivered at by members of the French party that the speech would contain disclosures regarding secret military prepara- tions by Germany, and a high pitch of expectation had been created as a result, Finally, it was delivered with the Jull force of M. Briand's eloquence, an eloquence that can be equalled by [ few French orators or-to-day. Al though but a small percentage of those in the hall were capable of un- derstanding M. Briand's words, so apparent was his sincerity, so clear his conviction of France's danger, and so evident was it that his words came from the heart, that the assem- | blage was held throughout in a tense | silence, broken only by occasional sharp outburts of applause. Even the translation of the French premier's words tended to 'increase the feeling of drama that pervaded the hall, parts, each being translated separa- tely. M. Chamberlynck, the official translator, in speaking the English | words, sucteeded in to them a reflection of which had marked their delivery in French, As M. Briand resumed his seat there came from his fellow delegates and from the crowded galleries a thunder of applause which was re- imparting peated a moment Jater when Mr. Bal- | four arose and proclaimed the em- pire's position. : ACTION IS DISMISSED. That Iroquois Assessment Roll Valid, Toronto, Nov. 22.--The action of Lorne W. Mulloy, the South African blind soldier, on behalf of the rate payers of the village of Iroquais, ver- sus the village of iroquois, asking for a declaration making an assessment roll for 921 of Iroquois invalid, was | dismissed without costs. Two assessment rolls had been made, one by the original assessor, and one by his successor, and ratepayers asked that the origina: 10il be declared valid. Mr. Justice Mowat in his judz- ment, says: "Expenditure necessiiat- ed by the war resulted in an over- | draft from Molson's Baik amounting w $14,887.09 on January, 1921. When a money by-law, proposed to out of financial difficulties, was voted down by the people, the coun- cil decided to pay the debt out of the current year's taxes. The assessor refused to raise the assessment, whereupon he was succeeded by an- other assessor, who raised the assess: ment, "The council, being faced with ser- ious financial problems, did- its best to find its way out of the difficulty." Wild Ducks Plentiful. Edmonton, Alta., Nov, 22.----Wild ducks are so plentiful in the Sedge- wick district that one farmer living eight miles from that town reports a thirty-acre tract of wheat destroyed on his farm by the birds, He said that the ducks were a terrible men- Ace at harvest and threshing time and that jt did not take them long to, destroy several hundred bushels | of grain in stock.

The farmer re- fused. He raised it to 2 1-2 cents, { which would net the farmer $42. The farmer refused and shipped the bull to the U. F. O. at Montreal. He re- {ceived back $34 an' later in Mon- | treal found that the same packer had bought the same bull and paid the U. F. O., Montreal, 3 1-2 cents a pound. The result of inquiry was blocked at Montreal, but will be car- ried on further at the annual meet- ing in Toronto. Other stories in regard to the aes | tion of salé&smen of (he U. F.
