Pardee, of Duluth, representing the St Lawrence- (reat Lakes Tidewater Association, held a conference with Mr F. H. Kee- fer in regard to matters affectin the scheme. ; At the St. Catharines convention Mr Keefer was elected a member of the executive in recognition of the Carsistent and effective work he haz accomplished in connection with the 'vlan for deeper waterway. Some of | the things accomplished by Mr Keefer was to induce the Government to pass 'an order-in-¢ouncil appointing mem- SCRE {CURT RE SRR OAR SEED §-@NIR-0)- SAN OEE) END 0 GED OGD () Gall vim rreton to bers of the Joint Waterway Commis- ion; and an order-in-council appoint- rg of Maitrooaes 'ing engineers to the joint engineers': 'board to report on the deep waterways cvertisey nen. | scheme; to appropriate the sum of | $15,000 for the purpose of conducting a party of United States and Canadian legislators over the route of the pro- posed deeper waterway. : Mr Keefer's work in forwarding the jand is of a character that will go far towards assisting in a realization of the enterprize. While splendid pro- {gress has been made in the United : States and along the waterway itself, it is apparent there is much work to be yet accomplished before our west is ready to get back of the scheme with strong conviction of its necessity. Universality of the World Dead New York, November, 3.--The New York Sun Says: "Canada's announcement that she intends to send her oldest Victoria Cross bearer to place a floral tribute on the bier of the Unknown American helps to bring to mind the universality of the world dead, English, American, French or other. "The friendship that the stress of battle instilled among the allied na- tions have survived their origin. The ex-Dough Boy, who keeps his French fresh in" correspondence with peas- ants 'over there' and the French states man who places a wreath on the tomb of our unknown hero have alike recognized that certain memories of the war should not be permitted to die. Both are determined to retain the friendship that served so well in days of suffering. And both are splendidly right."

A. McCom- ber, the Liberal candidate, addressed the electors. The crowd was a little slow in gathering, but eventually the body of the hall was pretty well filled. Mi J. T. Brett was the chairman, and in a short address got the audience in good humour. He then called upon Messrs Andrews and Kinney of Port Arthur, who accompanied Mr McCom- ber to address the meeting. Tthey both: confined their remarks to com- plimentary references to Mr MeCom- ber, whom they felt was not generally known here. In Port Arthur they re- gard him as one of their outstanding citizens, fair and square in 'all his dealings, and a good fighter. Mr McComber was given a good re- ception when he arose to address the meeting. He is of pleasant address, has a quiet manner of speaking, anr created a good impression. He dealt with the various questions before the electors and stated that he had sup- ported Mr Keefer at the last elections. T. A. CRERAR, Progressive Leader. I urge upon Canadian men and wo- men that they study public issues with an unbaised, fair judgment. We sub- mit the principiles of the Progressive movement to your judgment with con- fAdence. We believe they provide a sure and safe basis upon which we can build a united Canadad, a Canada that may well become an example to a i distressed world in all that makes for ' a tolerant spirit--in all that makes for just and wise laws, justly and wisely { administered. ; Drury Flays Manufacturers Port Perry, Ont., Nov. 3.--Speaking ! here last night in th interest of Frank . Chapman, the Progressive Candidate by unloading their stocks. Recently, Mr Drury said, he was in Brantford and was later visited by the lief for the unemployed. The manu- facturer there were hard hit and could not sell their wares. "They did not try very hard," siad Mr Drury. "You and I produced wares last year. I roduce cattle and wheat on my farm and as many of you did, when we found we could not sell our cattle at fifteen cents a pound, we took seven. The implement manufacturers, how. ever, did not take seven. They keg their stuff in their warehouses, anq their men were unemployed "walking the streets." Mr Drury made some jibs at Pre. mier Meighen for what he described as the bill board stuff and other forms of 'advertising which the Tories are using in the present campaign. "I wouldn't be cheapened as Arthur Meighen is being cheapened for the life of me."
