"Every 'man and woman within the sound of my voice knows wheth- er I am for temperance or not," said Mr. R. N. F. McFarlane.

Mayor Angrove Withdraws. Mayor T. B. Angrove remarked that he would Itke to clear the atmo- sphere in regard to §is actions at the last election. Many underhand at- tacks had been made on him, he sald, but he would like to ask any man present if he had anything against him. He had always been a Conservative and he had supported Dr. Ross in the last election. He felt that he had been treated very badly and for that reason would not place himself in the hands of the convéntion.

The candidate was chosen dy sec- ret ballot and Mr. BE. Smythe and Mr. A. BE. Day acted as scrutinears. When they had completed counting the votes the chairman announced the result by saying "Mr. Kidd fs your next member for Kingston." The announcement was greeted with hearty applause and Mr. Kidd ex- pressed his thanks to the delegates for the honor conferred on him. On motion of Messrs. Hoag and McFar- lane the choice was made unani- mous. Mr. Rigney Not Mentioned. It was a surprise to many that Mr. T. J.
