The Doran B x THE ELECTION OF HALLDAY i ¥ » 15 MORE AND MORE ASSURED Dr. Ross' Slar on the City Creates Strong Feeling---Kingston Prosperous and Its Merchants Are Busy---The Swing I Strongly in Favor of the Liberal Candidate. As every day goes by the slection of Jim Halliday as member for King- ston becomes more end more assur- ed. It seems as if there is a general desire throughout ihe city for a ch 'and Mr. Halliday seems to a & great majority of the people.' During the last few days he has been meeting a large number of people and everywhere he goes he meets with a most cordial recep- tion. He finds the people ready and willing to discuss the political situ- ation. They are very much alive to the benefits that have been bestow- €d on the country by the wise and careful administratiod of the King government, = They see no reason why ig should not be allowed to carry on and eontinhe to put 'into effect (measures as the Old Age Bill. At the same time a great many people have expressed themselves to Mr. Halliday as anx- fous that Kingston should have a resentative on the government of the House for a change and for that reason have quite frankly told him that they propose to vote for him on September 14th, Too Many Doctors. {Two men were discussing the situ- @tion in a store on Tuesday morn- Ing. "It seems to me' sald the one, "that we've got too many doctors mixed up In politics in this section." "First," he continued, "Dr. Spankie gotiup on the platform at Dr. Ed- wards nomination meeting and told 'us Liberals, Progressives and » , and in fact any of us who do not bow down and wor- ! hen that we were in hevi tive Party wanted selves from the Empire ed us all by classing In called a homogeneous mass Donia a. communists and d people.

I think Bob- iid do more for us in one that there are some stores that are vacant. They have been vacant for years and wil] continue to be unoec- cupled for various reasons. Anyone going up and down Princess street any afternoon, however, will have no difficulty. in convincing himself that Kingston is a pretty busy city a the present time. ? "It is politics to call the Liberals all kinds of names and try to dis- credit them," sald one merchant, "but it is dastardly to try to make political capital by slandering the city. Kingston is prosperous," he said. "It has now pretty well re- covered from the war period and while we can all stand more busi- ness, I, at any rate, have no reason to complain this year as my sales have far exceeded those of any year since I entered business and I was In business long before General Ross came to Kingston. And while we are discussing the question," he continu- ed, "I would like to ask General Ross what he ever did to help busi- ness in Kingston or to help fill up the vacant stores and houses. About all he seems able to do is criticfre Kingston and those people who live in it who do not think the same as he does politically. I have not taken much interest in politics for years but I'm doing everything I can to elect Halliday this time. We want someone at Ottawa who will boost Kingston, not knock it like Dr. Ross does." In his zealousness to make littls of Mr. Halliday's Manifesto, Dr. Ross seems to have overstepped himself. He appears to be one of the few Conservatives who still believe in Party was a J and that all others must of neces sity make a mess of the job. ! ---- Kingston is Kingston is prosperous... Here re- tall merchants are busy, here in- dustries are active and full of or- ders, here people are employed and contented. The Robb budget has created business beyond the most sanguine anticipations and Kingston is sharing in the general prosperity along with the rest of Canada. What We want now is someone at Ottawa who will boost Kingston, who will urge its claim to be made the term- inal of the Great Lakes and who will approach big business questions in a business-like way. In Mr. Hal- liday the citizens have a fine type of candidate to vote for. He is a man who has risen by his own efforts to his position as'a prominent merchant in this city, He has given of hig time and endeavor to every worthy cause and is at present a valuable member of the Public Utilities, Com- mission. If the citizens of Kingston send him to Ottawa they will cep tainly be doing a good turn for the city. They will be sending down a man who will consider his first duty always to his city as a whole and not to a favored few who want some political favors. They wil be pend- ing down a man who has many years of municipal experience and who the same timp has given a good d of thought and study problems. Mr. Halliday in his Manifesto states clearly and distinctly what he stands for and what he is prepared fo advocate on the floor of the House.

Many people may be favor- able to him but if they do not cast their ballots they ere doing him no good. Every Liberal worker should make it a point to do everything possible between now and polling day to assure Mr. Halliday's elec- tion. All that is needed is an or- ganized concerted effort and Mr. Halliday will undoubtedly be elect- ed. * Let everyone do what they ean between now and September 14th. A number of ward meetings and oth- er meetings are being announced. Liberal workers are urged to be pre- sent and take part in these meetings. The Liberal headquarters on King street is open all day and every evening. There are a number of workers there who are glad to furn- ish information of any kind. It it is not convenient to come to the Rooms, telephone 3300 for informa- tion, or if you have any suggestions to make, the secretary will be glad {0 note them and bring them before the committee. Who Tried to Stop Their Car When They Were ing After Burglary. ---- Port Perry, Sept. 1--HaYold Ar. cher, aged 30, local garage proprie- tor, was wounded at an early hour today when he jumped on the run- ning board of an which three gunmen made their es- cape from the scene of shopbreak- ing expedition. While on the the au- tomobile, Archer was shot in one of his legs. He is making good pro- gress towards recovery at his home. The three gunmen are still at large despite an all-night search by a village posse, armed with rifles, shot guns and revolvers. It is thought that the automobile went. on the road to Lindsay. The man- hunt is still proceeding, Provincial police headquarters in Toronto were notified" early today and Inspectors John Miller and A. R. Elliott and three constables, arm- ed with rifles, have been despatched from Toronto to take part in the search. The trio are armed and ev- ery precaution is bétg taken. The license number on the car was 22-828, which is owned by James Williams, Toronto, according to"ad: 'vices from that city, but the Wil- automobile in|, uiding of General I EING MADE IN THE HOSPITAL The Doron Belling to Aeon: ir i.e NICKLE WING FLOOR ~ For Maternity Wasds---This Is ------_-- The Doran Building mow used as a maternity ward at the General Hospital is to Be converted into a tuberculosis hospital, under the management of the General Hospital staff, and all the civilian patients from Mowat Sanatorium will be ac- commodated there This decision, h was announ- ced Wednesday morning by Superin- tendent R. F. Armstrong of the Gen. eral Hospital, is part of the general plan of remodelling the present hos- pital plant to conform with modern ideas. The Nickle Wing has been undergoing extensivé alterations and two floors of this wing will be devot- ed to the maternity ward. The con- tractors are rushing the work and it is- hoped to move from the Doran Building before September 15th. The Doran Building {s admirably situated for carifg for tuberculosis Datients, being entirely separate from the other Hospital buildings, readily accesible lic, and commis n for went) tion to put ft in first-class condition: At the present time earpenters are repairing the balconies at the back of the buflding so that they can be used both in the summer and winter. There is further accommodation for eleven more tuberculosis patients in a-part of the Richardson Laboratory Building which can be used at any time, v It is not thought that the hospital will need to increase its staff to look after the additional patients as ten additional nurses were accepted last fall in the the mew class and they have been receiving special training in tubercular work. All-in-all the proposition of a new tubercular hos- pital in a central part of the city, which can be operated without ex- pensive overhead 'charges . should meet with a great deal of popular favor.

Executive hedith officers in Canada, the United States and Mexico have united to eradicate the diphtheria germ ' that Increases its ravages with the open- ing of schools during the months of September and October, Co-incident with the educational campaign, stite and provincial health authorities of North Am- erica will utilize the psychology of the drive to immunize every child from the disease. Working. with local health officials and physicians, they expect to achieve the goal of their campaign within the next * two months. It has been conclusively proved that inocculation Will im. munize the child in 90 per cent. of the cases on first application, while the remaining 10 per cent. can be immunized by a second treatment. The past fifty years have seen a great reduction in diphtheria fatal. inthe, the rate having been reduced trom 113 per 100,000 in 1880, to 3 per 100,000 in 1924. 2 NANTTOBA LIBERAL PROGRE Autoist With Conservative's Winnipeg, Sept. 1--A, L.
