. CAPITOL NOW SHOWING MILTON SILLS in ""IHE MAKING OF O'MALLEY" +" William 8. Reed of Portland town- ship, was the unanimous choice as a candidate in the coming elections of the Progressives of Frontenac-Ad- igton, who met in convention in the Division Court Room = of the Court House on Saturday after- noon. " « In addition to Mr, Reed's address of acceptance, two prominent Pro- . gressive members of the last Parlia- ment made speeches on the matters 'before the electors pe. . They were Preston Elliott, . Dundas, and J. J. Thurston, Vie- toria and Haliburton. While both ¢ and Liberals came in for some censure, Mr. Meighen"s protection . Proposals were strongly condemned a8 injurious to the farmers' interests and the prosperity of the country as #8 whole. Party politics also came in for criticism and blame.

He thought that Sir Henry Thornton was an efficient man and he had cut down running expenses, but he was working with a railroad that was capitalized far above any justification. Cut this down, reduce the rates, and the C.P. R. would have to follow. Take Tariff Out of Politics. As for the tariff question, it should have been eliminatea from politics years ago. The speaker read from | Bir John A. Macdonald's Policy, back in 1878, it was exactly like what the Con- servatives were talking about at the present time. If Sir John was right, then Canada should be showing some benefits from the National Policy by this time. Yet the tariff to-day, he showed, was practically the same as then. Meighen might raise the tariff bars to'heaven but he could not pro- tect the farmer. As for Premier King, he was to-be an opportunist in the matter. Mr. Elliott argued that as long as there was any export the price of a commodity could not B® controlled | but was fixed by competition with other countries. Thus five per cent. of the United States wheat exported decided the price of the other 95 per cent. Canada's cheese price 1s fixed by the Liverpool price. So a high tariff would not protect the farmer, unless Canada were an im- porting country. While Canada ex- ported some 357 million bushels of grain she imported 15 million. i Would the Canadign farmer be haat tariff would be detrimedtal to the a prosperity of the country. Forget. Politics, X "Forget what polities your father held and look at the matter from a business-like stand-point. Canada is in a condition of unbearable taxa- tion. It is all bosh to say that a tariff will cure it. Send men to Par- liament' who will economize," said Mr. Elliott. He would like to see Mr. Meighen raise the tariff for it would put an end to protection for- ever. But though Mr. Meighen were returned, the tariff would not be «hanged an fota. His party wanted power{ and were willing to do any- thing to get it. The speaker criticized the Civil Service as over-manned, over-paid and underiworked. The expenditure of millions on & port at Quebec and of half a million on an 'elevator at Halifax had so far met with little réturn, - He claimed Mr. Meighen was capitalizing the mistaxes of Premier King and that both parties were try- ing to b&mboozle the country. "Unanimous for Reed. At the close of Mr. Elliott's ad{ dress Mr. Clark called again for nominations, but none were offered, and Mr. Reed was tendered the honor, amidst applause. In accepting Mr. Reed said he had expected other names to be offered. His address commenced with a re- view of his work in the House. He had been criticized for some of his votes, he said. First he voted for the manufacture and sale of oleo~ margarine for a year. ¢ He had done 80 because a downward revision of the tariff had been a plank in his platform, and most of the Progres- voted as he did. He was one of the nine Progressives to vote for the budget of 1922. ® He believed time has proven the wisdom of his action. The budget of 1923 did not suit him and he voted against it, but ing a downward revision of the tariff. He also voted for $600,000 to finish the tower of the P ent Buildings, because it was unprotect- er work, and 'also because otherwise the contractor and architect would ee ae ul 31 tha Hous : en. su 3d the budget of 1925 Vecauns the country as hele. 18 i a w hen Mr. Reed National | to show that | The Baily | ed and the rain was damaging form-| have had to be paid $170,000.

Toronto, Sept. 28.--No less than 20,000 men would be kept employ- ed for from six to eight years were the plans for making a great lake north of Lake Nipigon to be adopt- ed, according to C. Lorne Campbell, the engineer who is advocating the project. The cost would be from 150 to 200 million 'dollars. The lake would be more than twice as large as Lake Ontario. "All the ber over the area Would be cut and boomed," says Mr. Campbell, " | that when- the waters rose on the closing of the dams this enormous supply of pulpwood could be floated and broughtyto the mills which had been built to prepare for it~ "I estimate that there would -be 8,000 square miles of timber to be cleared at a cost of $10,000 to $15,- 000 per mile. This in itself would be an item of 80 to 120 million dollars. The labor involved would mean the building of a large mew city in the north and as a means of relieving un- employment and providing jobs for new immigrants the plan would certainly have very great advantages for Ontario." --ent PREMIER ENROUTE +10 THE-FAR- WEST Reports Are That Liberals Will Gain Seats There and in Ontario. North Bay, Sept. 28.--At North Bay, which is a divisional point, it was not known until the train pull- ed in on Saturday afternoon that Premier King was aboard but in less time than it takes to tell, an en- thusiastic group of prominent citi- zens gathered to greet Mr. King. The premier wore a grey tweed suit with grey cap, and chatted quite informally. As'it me known who the visitor was a larger crowd gath- ered and Ne had a bright greefing and warm hand &asp for all. He was in the best of spirits, and his optimism was infectious as he talked with the group who gathered about him. They brought him good tidings from North Bay districr, where Liberal victories are regarded as certain. The premier's present plans are to make the trip from Ottawa to Van- couver and return--with stop-overs to speak in each province--in about sixteen days.

Y., shoxtly over a month ago, was on Saturjay at Hamilton sentenced to one year in the Portsmouth penis tentiary and fined $500 and in des fault of the fine, to serve an addi tonal year, the charge being for en- tering Canada fllegally. Inspector D. H. Reynolds, travelling inspector of immigration went from Ottawa to Hamilton to lay the charge. Schotte has given much wouble to the Department of Immigration; hav. ing been deported from Canada three times by them. He was first deported from Canada in 1919 and returned to Canada shortly after and was sentenced fo jail for steals ing an automobile. This happened out in Saskatoon, Sask. Schotts was guilty of a long list of crimes including jail-breaking by assaulting a jail warden, violating the O.T.A. at Port Arthur theft charges. According to the nce given by Inspector Reynolds at Hamilton on Saturday, he has paid numerous fines and served several atl sen~ tences.
