James Halliday, the can- didate, is|the retiring president, and dufing his term of office, he ably filled the duties falling upon his shoulders Mr. Halliday served as warden of the county last year, and is at pre- sent cerving his fourth year, as reeve of Portsmouth. He is very popular throughout the rougls: has given much of his time to pub vice, and on all sides, is regarded as a strong man. For many years, he lias been a close follower of things political, and in every way is well fitted to represent the county in the parliament at Ottawa His many friends 'are hoping that he will allow his name to go before the county electors, . Fn. Hon, Mr. Graham's Address. In his opening remarks, Hon. Mr Graham pald a warm tribute to Major Jack" Mowat, who made the -«upreme sacrifice, on the field of battle, and who 'was a life-long sup- porter of the cause of Liberalism. "He was a real man all the way through," said the speaker. ° "He was fearless," and at this stage, the speaker referred to the manner in S whitch Mi Mowat met his death, while gallantly leading his men in a charge, after he had been wounded in the leg. "That was just the kind of stuff 'Jack' Mowat was made of" he con- tinued. "In his death 1 have lost a warm personal friend, and the Lib- %srals of Canada have also suffered a great loss." ! 'Hon. Mr. Graham, in continuing his. address, said that the one great issue of today, was the winning ot 'the war, and what he had to say would be largely in the way of erit- jeism of the government, for wha: they had dome, and what they had not done, in regard to the war Everything depended on the result of the war.

In war times, we were apt to forght many things for which the government might be cfticised. It was all right for Sir Thomas White, the finance. minister, for tell Jot the glowing reports abo¥¥ the Increase in trade, Canada was doing a great business, but the money received was being soaked in blood. The trade ®anada was doing was great because there was a war on. Goods were ving turned out for the de- struction of human beings. Just look at the trade situation in (Canada before the war. The gov< ment could not ghow big reeeipts. Trade was at a standstill. If there liad been no war, the country would have been on the verge of a great disaster. Sir Themas White blamed the approaching calamity on the war. A much sadder day was coming to Canada when the war was over. According te the finance inister, the lor the war, the better it would be for Canada, Large sums of money had been borrowed. The people of Canada had lots pf money and were gladly loaning it to the government, but the government niust be held responsible, It should not be expended at the rate of $250 pes month for men on the National Service Board, and a sum of $2, 600,000 for rifles which could not be used. We could have got along wily about seventy-five per cent of the money expended on métor trucks, éte, Millions of dollars had been ex- pended on equipment which was still in England. Sir Sam had been much 'money hag been spent om equipment that could not be used, and his only reply was that he did not know; that he had been too husy swearing over the matter, Some- thing would have to be done to right matters, asked why so Recruiting Problem Hon, Mr. Graham then took up the question of recruiting. "You have Heard a great deal about the recruiting in Quebec not being satisfactory," he said. "Your county member, Dr. J. W. Edwards is at this question with all his might, all the time, (Laughter) I want to say that the government has never made an serious effort to help on the recruiting in Quebec. In the first place, General Lessard, who is re- garded as one of the best soldiers in Canada, should have been sent in among his own people, and given charge of the recruiting. Imstead, ne is reduced, and minor officers are put in charge, who do not get along well, Premier Borden should have asked his three Nationalists to re- Bign from their portfolios in the cab-1 inet. 1 want to call a spade a spade, and I have spoken. on the subject in the house. 1 spend two days week in Moptre copversations there with™"the young French-Canadians.
