The record of the Meighen govern- ment cannot be forgotten by the peo- ple who gave it their confidence: the soldiers who served in the war; the People at home who endured with | fortitude thd burdens placed upon them; the agriculturists who bore "the yoke placed upon their industry by the rapacity of protected manu- facturers of farm machinery and im- plements; the great body of consum- ers who, while paying the taxes, were 'mulcted at every turn by the 'pro- tected interests until their cup of bit- terness overflowed. The complicity of the government is beyond dispute, and the people believe that their only salvation depends upon the removal of the Meighen government and the formation of a new government that Will be a government of the people, for 'the peopl, 'By' the people; . The government's record of waste 8nd extravagance is appalling in the Taco of the war-debt and anual charges in 'the form of soldier re-es- ~ tablishment and pensions.

His refusal to bring | the tariff into consonance with | dustrial and economic requirements shows the people clearly what they { may reasonably expect should they be 80 foolish as to return his govern. | ment to power. He promises noth- ling, Mr, Mackenzie King, on the other in- definitely ised in ac- to the people and states that the tariff will be rev | cordance with their wishes, where it | can be done consistently, having re- | gard to revenue requirements and | the safety of national industry.

During the course of the campaign now drawing to a close the British Whig has endeavored to present the issues of the day in a fair and impar- | tial manner and to avoid the person- | alities that gender bitterness and | lead to unnecessary friction. It has | resolutely refused to injure the city's fair name and its commercial success in order to secure 80me temporary party advantage. Perchance, in the heat of an unusually lively campaign, it may have devoted more space to | politics than some of its readers | thought necessary, though we have | yet to hear of a complaint on that | score, What it has left unsaid is | vastly greater it has said. On more than one occasion tribute has been pald to the character and. | service of Dr. Ross, the Conservative candidate. This paper would be the last agency to say an unkind word against the opposition candidate. It | has admired his many sterling quali- ties, and regretted that ft could not | support him. Our attitudé was dicta- | ted by no mean scruples or political | spite, He was opposed because we | believed that J, M. Campbell was the | better man to represent Kingston; j that Mr. Campbell had the required business training: that hig election would kelp to overthrow a govern- 'ment that had long since overstayed Tits welcome; that it wae time for a change at Ottawa. The Whig had no part in the al- | leged "whispering campaign at which Dr. Ross and his organ profess such indignation, Neither had | Liberal women's organization any- in volume than what | aing to do with it They are above such w It is nothing less t lusult- tc suggest that they Gnance, much less indulge lefensible methods of support for their candidate Campbell himself is the type of who would net stand for < cedure. As for they Whig, it can y that it never heard of the lals" which Dr. Ross and ths Stand- ard declare have been cir ulated inst him. Nor can we find > who ever heard of them t looks very much liks an ~like an effort, and a last pairing to create sy for a candidate who was champlon- ing a dyingeause. If it is that, and it has yet to be proven that i isn't, hen it is nothing less than cheap heroics * which wil! defeat own purpose. Nobody, as far as we can d, is slandering, or has any de- ire to slander, Dr. Ross. The Stand- rk rk, gaining scan- election aes- effort, its . haa 2? tra w r- | | ard has set Up a man of straw in or | his varied and extensive business un- der that it can knock him down | again.

One Was ithe absonce of Sergt.-Major McNamara, M.P.P., who was adver- tised to speak. It is evident that Ur, Ross and his chief advisers decided to camcel Mr. McNamara"s visit to !

Dr. Ross has been very' unfortunate in Yhe choice of outside speakens for Saturday's Mr Hevey's arranged also meeting, as visit was cancelled Kingston Trades and Labor Co il announced on Thursday evening labor did not recognize him. The second featude of the mee.- ing was the abuse heaped upon the { Whig by Dr. Ross and W. F. Nickle egpecially the latter. The strong [stand the Whig has taken against the Meighen government has made them wrathy. Dr. Ross said he had hoped to have the Whig's support {in this election.

To him, more {than to any other man or body of | men, is due the measure of advance | ment that has been made in this dir- | ection. When the development of power |along the St. Lawrence was first con- | ceived, Mr. Campbell sensed its im- | portance to Kingston, and at once threw his tireless energy and his vathy | 2d | 3 e . \ | successtul as Kingston's member in | con- | V.A,, and the labor men anything but | he and Mr. | BIBLE THOUGHT FOR TO-DAY | SAFE STEPS: --The steps of'a good m ordered by the Lord; and h teth in his way.--Psalm 37 A in i A A a and his knowledge are of inestimable velue.

He is a candidate in ev- ery way worthy of their support. He has achieved success in every one of dertakiugs, and he will prove no less {the federal parliament. Vot® for Campbell and a bigger and better | Kingston, ------------------------ A SECRET BALLOT. During the past week or so the I press of Canada has called attention 10 a number of efforts made by Con- to intimidate factory workers. Letters have been pu servatives blish- ed clearly showing that the heads of i certain industries have endeavored to coerce their workers to vote for Meighen candidates. Failure to do so, it was pointed out, would result in the factories shutting down and | the employees finding themselves out of work. A cause that has to be bol- | stered up by such despicable and un- Canadian tactics is not worth say- | ing. - Canadian workmen are not a lot | of serfs or, slaves, They cannot be driven into a Conservative cattle pen by such- threats. They are tee men who have the right to think end act and vote as their conscience and their common sense dictate.
