TE RONIMC UFO. ten Nominati There will be no election contest in Kingston for the provincial leg- islature as only one candidate was nominated at the city hall Thurs- day afternoon. William Folger Nick- le was named by the Conservatives, and as there was no opposition he was declared elected by acclamation by Returning Officer Wightman. After returning thanks for his election, Mr. Nickle proceeded wl address the small gathering as to | the local and provincial situation in the, coming election. He had no'n- ing but praise for the local Liberal party in thelr decision not to eppose the Conservative candidate, and re- ferred to the great Liberal standard- bearers of Liberalism in this city, | including E. J. B. Pense, J M. Mowat and R. F. Elliott. Mr. Nickle sketched the four years' administration of the Drury government, which he scored for reckless expenditure and maladmin- 'istration of affairs in general. In conclusion the speaker stated that he was certain that the Conservative party would have the strongest group in the next legislature, and that it was more than possible that they | | two groups.

The proclamation states that the hours for nomin- ating candidates are from twelve o'clock noon until two o'clock in the afternoon, sti: dard time. That would be from one to three o'clock day- light saving time, Kingston be- ing on the new time. As Mr. Nickle was declared elected by acclamation and the mnomina- tions closed at two o'clock, the claim is made that the election is vold and thas another nomi- nation will have to take place. In other constituencies the no- minations extended until three o'clock, daylight saving time. It is appardnt that a blunder has been made.

Nomination day in rural and urban ridings of the province brought out | a large fleld of candidates for the 111 seats. In many cases there will be three-cornered contests but: the weeding out process that always oc- curs on nomination day reduced the lists, so that in the majority of rid- ings the actual balloting on June 25th will indicate a straight fight be- tween the nominee of the U.F.0.« Labor coalition government and one or other of old line Liberal or Con- servative parties, The possibility of the entry of a woman Liberal candidate in the per- son of Miss Isobel C.

Ottawa, June 14.--There rumors abroad that prorogation may come much earlier than has been {freely prophesied. When the Lib- | erals had a caucus yesterday and dis- are rest of the session, there was raveal- ed a unanimous feeling in favor of holding over the redistribution Lill. The committee has been unable to reach anything like an agreem--:, and once the bill reaches the floor ot the house a prolonged and bitter struggle, which might well last six weeks, is inevitable. Under such cir- cumstances, the government ~-would prefer to defer the struggle till an- other session.

Yesterday was uneventful. Most of the morning was taken up with a further discussion upon the nation- al marine and in the evening, the bill embodying some of the recommend- ations of the Ralston commission | about changes in the" "pension ' act | were dealt with. | When the advance to the C. G. M. {came up, Mr. Garland inquired it | Mr. Duff's contention that the C. N.R. had paid the C.G'M. ships $2.80 per ton to bring coal from Syd- ney to Montreal, while other boats were only charging $1.10, was cor- rect. Mr, Graham said it was incor- rect, the rate being $1.50 per ton Torthe C. G. M. boats: Mr. Duff denied this, and said the freight rateg of the C.G.M. from Sydney to Levis had been as high as $4 per ton, but Mr. Graham explained this rate went back to 1920. Mr. McBride, who professed great technical knowledge, criticized the design of the government ship, and advocated the disposal of the small- er boats. Mr. Meighen, replying to Mr. Duff gave a detalled history of the origin and growth of the C.G.M. from 1918 onwards. Long before that, the Liberals, led Ly Mr. Pugsley, haa been clamoring for a"state mer- cantile fleet, and when the scheme was launched in 1918 it met with al- most universal commendation from the Liberal benches. Oppose Scrapping Ships. W. F. MacLean and J. 8S. Woods- worth both opposed the sérapping of any C.G.M. ships and urged that they be given a fair trial. Mr. Duff questioned the propriety of Sir H. Thoraton acting as direct- or of the Canada Steamships Limit- ed and was complimented by Mr. Meighen on his consistency as he had made a similar protest about Mr. Hann» last year. After dinner Mr. Church assailed the proposal to sell (wenty-seven ships and demanded that they be used to break the combines of the private lines. It was not the time to sell ships. when the market had dropped, and we could .afford to spend a million and a half dollars to give our marine a trial.
