The Liberals, he said, were sending the people out-of the country as fast as they could get them in. He re- ferred to the statement of Mayor An- grove some time ago in which he stated that it cost $15 to get into the country and $18 to get out. "You sent three deputations to Ot- tawa," said Dr. Ross. "They were taken to Ottawa by Mr. Campbell but what did the government do for Kingston? They ignored these de- putations. The Commission which was mak- ing a survey of the different harbors relative to deciding on the terminus, kept away from Kingston when others were being inspected. I wrote a letter with regard to this matter to the Government but it has not re- ceived attention. (Continued on Page 14.) -- ee sian THE NOMINATION MEETING AT PICTON --Joseph L.

Motherwell and Hon. Charles Stewart Are in Three-Cornered Contests. Ottawa, Oct. 23.--As a result of the federal nominations yesterday, the Conservatives have 239 candi- dates in the fleld, the Liberals 216 and the Progressives 69. Nominations went off smoothly and were productive of but few sur- prises. One noticeable feature was that throughout the whole Dominion not a single acclamation was record- ed. The records show that this was also the case at the 1921 general election, when a contest developed in every one of the federal constitu- encies. The three party leaders all have straight fights on their hands. In North York, Premier Mackenzie King is opposed by Colonel T. H. Lennox, Conservative. Rt. Hon. Arthur Meighen, Conservative leader, again meets Harry Leader, Progressive and former member for the riding, in the constituency of Portage La Prairie. In Brandon, Robert Forke, Progres- sive leader, is opposed by David W.} Beaubier, Conservative. Four Women. A feature of the proceedings was the nomination of four women, one in New Brunswick,s in 8 Columbia and two in' Ontario. Minnie Bell Adney is running as an Independent in Carleton-Victoria, New Brunswick, the first woman to réceive a nomination in that prov- ince. She will have as her opponents T. W. Caldwell, the former member now running as an Independent- Progres- sive-Liberal, and Hon. J. K. Flem- ming, former Premier of the pro- vince, the Conservative candidate. Mrs. Rose Henderson, running on a straight Labor ticket, is the only woman candidate running. in British Columbia. She is contesting the constituency of New Westminster against W. G.

(ueen's Student Dies Suddenly Russell MacTavish, of North Bay, Expires on Temnis Court of Heart Disease. Russell MacTavish, of North Bay, a first year student of Applied Sci- ence at Queen's University, dropped dead while playing tennis on the university courts about 4.15 o'clock ae ly ier a oe For tite TL i mediately applied artificial respira- tion, but to mo avail. The young man was removed to the General Hospital, but death had ensued. As it was impossible to definitely ascertain the cause of death, a post- mortem examination was held Thurs- day night by the direction of the coroner, Dr. Morrison. The examin- ation was conducted by Dr. James Miller, the professor of pathology in Queen's University, The examina- tion disclosed a rare condition known as status lymphaticus, which causes a rapid dilation of the heart and instant death. This condition, where it exists, exists from child: hood. It cannot be detected before- hand nor is any treatment available when it discloses itself. The condi- tion has revealed itself generally in the case of children who have died suddenly under an anaesthetic. _ The sudden passing of the late Russell MacTavish came as a great shock te all departments of the uni versity. On Friday morning very few students could be seen on the campus, and the tennis courts, which are usually a scene of great activity, were deserted. The deceased young man, although he had been at the university only a short time, had made a large number of friends in his class, and wherever known he was very popular. His passing just at the commencement of his college life, which promised to be a bright one, is regarded as a particularly sad circumstance, and the sympathy of all in the university it reaching out to the bereaved parents. .

Mr. Charles Hicks, president of the Kingston Branch of the Great War Veterans' Association, has given The Whig the following copy of a letter which he has sent to The Standard: Kingston, Oct. 23.--(To the Edi- tor, Kingston Daily Standard): Dear Sir: It is with a feling of surprise that T note In last night's fssue of The Standard that political capital has been made from a resolution passed by the local branch of the G.W.V.A. 1 may add that several members of this branch have called me up and it is at their request that I am writing you on the subject. 1 would point eut for your infor- mation that the same resolution has been passed from time to time dur- ing the administrations of both the Conservative and Liberal parties. But what I most particularly wish to point out is that the Great War Veterans' Association is a non-politi~ cal organization and that its mem- bers resent very much any attempt to draw it into a political discussi at this time especially over a resol tion which was not intended to be used as political capital, May I request, Sir, that you extend to the Kingston Branch of the G. W.V.A, the courtesy of refraining from using its name in any way that would connect it with the present you to give this the same publicity as your editorial, Very truly yours, ' ~CHAB. HICKS.
