NOW PLAYING GLORIA SWANSON The Humming Bi No. 36. YEAR 01; DEBATE MAY BE ALLOWED On Question of Opposition Leadership in L Legislature. A TORHAIBERAL FU Likely to Result in the Vote -=Premier Ferguson Is Ready For Doherty. Toronto, Feb. 12.--Although coa- siderable doubt exists as to whether or not Manning Doherty is within the rules in protesting upon a ques- tion of privilege, against his exclus- lon from a share of the Opposition leader's salary, it is stated that the government will welcome a discus- sion upon the issue and that Mr, Doherty's case will be handled with- out gloves by the premier. Authorities allege that the rules would apply in a manner favorable | to Mr. Doherty only in case two circumstances can be established, (a) that he can show some im- pingement upon his honor as a mem- ber and (b) that he has a folliow- ing of sufficient strength to entitle him to come within the statutory de- finition of a party leader. It could be argued that Mr. Doherty's honor is in no manner af- fected by the decision of the Gov- ernment not to recognize him. The question hinges upon what interpre- tation is to be placed upon the em- phatic vote of the people against the U.F.0O. Government. Did if méan that no more group system of Government is wanted? If that is true, the Government had no re- course, but to recognize only the other historic party. In the second case, it is doubtful if Mr. Doherty will lead a group large enough to command recognition. Labor mem- bers have already demanded to be seated together, and other defec- tions are reported to be imminent. But the Government is understood to be willing to take advantage of strained interpretations of rules, 'and are willing that Mr. Doherty should have his say. It is expected the debate will occupy most of this afternoon. Liberal Leader Sin- clair will contend for his rights, and it the matter comes to a vote the prediction is general that. the Liber- al Opposition and the Government will vote together for the first--.igf not the last--time this session.

TRADE OF THE PRAIRIES SHOWS HEALTHY REVIVAL Felt That the Spring Economic Conferences Will Make Business Better. Winnipeg, Feb. 12.---~Prairis trade for the first week of Febru- ary shows a healthy revival in all parts. Improved demand for farm products in both domestic and ex- port is given credit for the better tone prevailing generally. Higher prices in metals and especially farm machinery does not seem to have de- pressed sales. Paper of farm ma- chinery houses, due in February, is reported well liquidated, and prairie agents of eastern manufac- turers report a better inquiry than for two years. This is especially true of Alberta and Saskatchéwan where bank mortgage company paper has been cleaned up better than in Manitoba. There is a feeling that the proposed economic con- ferences scheduled for the. prairies this spring will make for businesslike administration in priv- ato as wel as public affairs. Or- dsrs are being placed by retail yards over the prairies very heavily for March delivery through fear -that wgTe the gift of Prince Valde- the strike in the mountain mi d mar; "an ornament of rubles and dia- tricts and the demand for Cana onds which is an heirloom of the mill products south of the line may advance prices for early spring de- livery. el Western mills are busy supplying the heavy orders for flour fron South American and Oriental soure- es, while commercial travelers from eastern houses on the prairies ra- nport a very sustained demana for Sorts in boots, leather 8000s ana men's and women's clothing, with prices steady.

The Liberals occupy a front bench on the ministerial side "below the gangway." Interesting to parliame quenters is the fact that "Tay Pay" O'Connor, father of the house, toe day 'crosses the floor" and sits on' the ministerial side.
