The train is specially constructed, and consists of two convict cars, a combination baggage and commis- sarate car and an officers car. The baggage car is at the front of the train, and the officers car is at the rear. The baggage car and officers' car are of. steel construction, while the convict cars are of wood. The windows and doors on all the cars, with the exception of the of- ficers' car are locked and covered with steel bars. Also an electrio alarm system has been installed so that an alarm rings in the officers' car, it any attempt is made to in- terfere with the doors or windows.

J. C. Glencoe, Marsh 29.--' "The Gov- erment is in office. It has a ma- jority in the House of Commons. Whether Mr. J. C. Elliott is re-elect- ed or not we are going to carry on. It remains for the electors of this riding to say whether or not they are going to have their member-in the Cabinet." In his bye-election speeches in West Middlesex on Saturday, Pre- mier Mackenzie 'King made this an- nouncement at several meetings. At a dozen Liberal meetings in the con- stituency on the last day of the campaign, Mr. King and five of his ministers toured the riding, after- noon and evening, in favor of the candidature of Hon. J. C. Elliott, newly-appointed Minister of Labor, who resigned his seat in the House recently to ask his constituents. to confirm his appointment. The de- sirability of having Ontario repre- sented on the Treasury benches of the House of Commons was one of the first considerations urged upon the electors. . "I want to have this province of Ontario represented in the Cabinet, and it is for you to say whether rt is in the interests of the province or not," said Premier King. "It is a big responsibility for you. Ontario has already one (Cabinet minister in the Senate. But, except insofar as I am privileged to speak for the province I belong to, even if I do not sit for it, the ministers who sit in the House do not'inciude in their number one Ontario member. It remains for the people of West Middlesex to speak for all Ontario as to the desirability of the province being represented in the Cabinat councils, where policy 1s initiated and measures decided on." To Carry On. In another place, Mr. King sald: "Wheh the next general election 1s soming none of us can say at pres- ent. Some of our Conservative friends say it will be soon, Others think not so soon." So far as tne was concerned, added the Prime Minister, he intended to carry on until he was defeated in the House. Premier King spoke at Parkhill in the afternoon, where an overflow gathering compelled his making two speeches. At Glencoe, the home town of Hon. J. C. Elliott, the new Min- ister of Labor and the Premter spoke at length, winding up the former's campaign. Mr. Elliott also addressed a meeting at Newbury Sat- urday evening. During the afternoon and evening other Cabinet ministers spoke at dif- ferent points. Hon. Ernest Lapointe, at Strathroy and Allsa Craig; Hon. C. A. Stewart at Wardsville and Ade- lalde; Hon. W. R. Motherwell at Coldstream and Mount Brydges; and Hon. C. A. Dunning at Melbourne and Delaware, supported J. C. El- liott's candidature. In addition, half a dozen Liberal private members of Parliament, including several from Western Canada, spoke. on the same platforms. James Malcolm, M.P, for North Bruce, who is spoken of as the next appointee to the Federal r. | ister of agriculture--and "Mr. Meighen sat through the last Parliament as the embodiment of usurpation of power," said Mr. King. "He used his last lease of power in | 1921 to further his personal ends and ambitions."

Some members arc expected to express the view that sufficiegt has heen heard to justify recommendation" that the Govern ment put it up to the Royal Cana- dian Mounted Police to stop smug- gling. At the moment, .the outstanding' feature behind the probe, as it were, is the fact that a majority of com- mittee members are convinced three drastic steps should be taken to stem the contraband tide. They are: Separation of customs preventive work from the Customs Depart- ment; transfer of that work to a secret service, preferably the Royal Canadian Mounted Police; and can- cellation of all instructions that would make arrest or prosecution of Slougglers contingent upon permis- sion one of the shortost on record. The largest contentions item on the programme fs the church up bill, which is to be reconsid by the private Bills committee. Tu down by one vote on Friday, it resuscitated later the same day by & legal pronouncement of .the sttor ney-general, who declared that the first clavse of the bill had lost, and that the remainder can reconsidered.
