REPUBLICAN SETBACK IN Ti FE CONSERVATIVES AIM T0 AVOID A THREE-CORNERED CONTEST Convention Adjourned a Week---One Speaker Made Some Very Strong Remarks the Action is be rt Aniar Used. MAYOR ANGROVE SOUGHT TO EXPLAIN POSITION No candidate was chosen at the convention of the Kingston Liberal- Conservative Association, which was held In Garden Hall on Tuesday night, and after a hot debate a -mo- tion was passed adjourning the ecan- vention until Tuesday evening, No- vember Sth. At one time there was & sharp division pf opinion as to the advisability of adjourning or pro- ceeding to the businéss of nominat- ink a candidate but finally all objec- tions were withdrawn and the dele gates decided to follow the sugges- tion of thelr campaign committee. The real object of the adjourn- ment was quite apparent and was in fact stated by President J F. Sowagds that it is to make an effort to prevent a three-cornered fight in Kingston. Mr. Sowards sald he did- n't think the Conservatives could win in a three-cornered fight. Other reasons were advanced but these were not accepted by a certain fae- tion of those present and finally the real reason was forced out. Some very strong language was used by a few of the speABers In connection with-the name of Hon. 'W. F. Nickle, former member of the legislature for Kingston, who was not present. Mr. Nickle is at this very moment { ceed at once to nominate a planning a campaign to wreck this association to which he gave twenty- five years of his life dullding up, as our informafion says he is, he is a traitor," declared Mr. ster. At another point in the meet- ing Mr. W. A. Twigg stated: "I say 'Billy' Nickle Is ao tin god. He can Heked Hike other man, I say 13 orgafisat! _ to him and I nominate Tommy Kidd" Other speeches of a milder char: ter Were also giveh and both Mr. rank Hoag and Mr. W. Waldron oh- ted to the remarks made regard- Idg Hon. W. F. Nickle. Mayor T. B. Angrove tried to speak and got so far as to ask if anyome in the hall charged him with being a traitor or ything but a straight Conservative suse of any action he took at the last eléction. President'). F. Sowards called Mr. Angrove fo ordér and as he continhed to speak along the same line he was ruled out of order and asked to sit down. A -- Thirty Minutes of Thynder, « There was a good attendance of both delegates and the general pub- lic but the meeting was not destined to last long. By 8.35 it was all over despite the great amount of oratory needed to convince the delegates that the campaign committee knew what It was doing. Mr. J. F. Sewards, presifient of the association, was in the chair and in opening the meeting explained that in view of the change made by Mr. Ferguson in his liquor policy on Monday cutting out the le of beer by the glass, he had call- $ the local campaign committee to. ther. The committee, he sald, was of the opinion that there were miliny strong men in the Conservative party In Kingston who would have offered themselves for the candidacy but they had objected to the sale of beer by the glass. Now that this objec- tion had béen taken away the com- felt that the nomination ht to be adjourned for a week these men the opportunity of ot Into the contest. is one of the most auspic- fous iohs on which this associa- © tion. ever been called together," _ said Mr. C.

Mr. Web- ster moved that the convention be adjourned for one week and his mo- tion was reconded by Mr. T. 8. Mon- erieff. Mr. Twigg Names "Tommy" Kidd. Mr. W.

W. F. Nickle that he did not relish. "I think he might well have left unsaid some of the things he did say," he concluded. Mr. Charles Dalton said he thought it ought to be known that Mr. Nickle had not played the game. He had only notified the local asso- ciation that day that he had resign- ed. "What abdut the letter he wrote to Ottdwa?" someone called out. Mr. Webster said that Mr. Hoag has misunderstood him tor if he opposed his own party. Deprecated Personal Abuse.

Waldron declared that per- sonalities wouldn't get them far. with the views expressed by the pre- ceeding speaker "I never saw a picnic or anything of that kind ar-| ranged for a certain day and post- poned that was ever a success," he sald. He remarked that he under- stood the party was ready to put in| the field as a candidate one of the | heaviest and best men in Kingston. Mr. Twigg linked the name of Mr. | T. A. Kidd with Wis remarks and said that he nominated "Tommy" Kidd. The nomination was seconded but | was ruled out of order and Mr. | Twigg and his seconder moved an! candidate. | Mr. Kidd was asked if he wished | { to speak and he took the opportun- ity, "It puts me in rather an em- barrassing position," he said. 'I was present at the campaign committee meeting this afternoon and Mr. Web- ster has carried out the wishes of the campaign committed in present- ing the a poe. further at this time which a _ pre- | judice the position of any ¢andidate | who might be named. This meeting is yours and what you say goes," he declared, addressing the peopel. Mr, Frank Hoag expressed himself | as opposed to adjournment. "If you want the ladies and gentlemen hers | to acquiesce in your opinion," he said, addressing the chair, "you| should give them fuller and more accurate information than you have | up to the present)' i Mayor Angrove. Mayor Angrove sald that he had | been very much surprised to get an invitation to attend convention | but as a delegate he feved he had | a right to speak. He said that | he had been more or less ma- ligned during the past few weeks and | thought he should hgve an oppor- | tunity of explaining his action at the | last election. The chair called him to order and | asked that he confine his remarks | to the motion before the meeting. Mr. Angrove sald that he thought he should be given a chance to ex- plain his position. "Is there anyone | here who accuses me of being a! traitor or anything but a straight Conservative?" he asked. Mr. Sowards interrupted and ask- od that he confine himself to the motion. "If you are nominated you! will be given a chance to speak." A man in the audience called out "Will you give us more informa- tion?" Mr: Sowards replied "Mr. Webster made the explanation." Mr. Hoag warned the chair that if it was taking the attitude of leading the meeting into a blind 'alley it might find a considerable adverse vote against its proposal, "May Know More Next Week. campaign committees felt that ¢ from now we would Know . mi4 Mr. ina more than we do. now," Sowards. Dr. Waugh remarked that as yet he hadn't heard a single reason ad- vanced as to why the naming of a candidate should be postponed. He said that they gidn't want a three cornered tight but he didn't believe all that Mr. Webster had said. "Mr. A. E.

Mr. | Nickle, he sald, had been a good friend of the Conservative party, not to say what the Conservative party had been to him, and he had been a { good friend to Kingston. Mr' Wal- dron expressed the fear that person- alities would do far more harm than good. * Finally Mr. Twigg was persuaded to withdraw his amendment and the "If , amendment that the meeting pro- | original motion that the convention adjourn for one week was put to | the meeting and carried. ONTARIO CAN PREVENT LIQUOR IMPORTATION tw in Proposed, "ik ai5Tng i Gomrol Law Forbidaing Section. Ottawa, Nov. 3--Inquiry here res- pecting the statement of Hon. W. B Raney, at Winchester, that liquor | could be imported into Ontario by any resident once government con- is said by Federal officials here to be based on a guess as to what the law may be that the Conservative Government will draw. Control of the importation of li- quor into the province comes strictly under the regula¥ion of the pro- vince. British Columbia permits impor- tation, but issues permits for it on | certain grounds, Quebec does not al- low any one other than the Liquor | Commission to fmport.
