A. TEIRS PfiOPBIETOfi. H (O O CO DEEEHDE EEEEH‘EJ DEEEE'EDE A y S CD on 9 SD The. Fcnehm Falls ' Friday, May 2lst. 1909. Two Conservatives In the Field. Mr. W. H. Lockhart Gordon will oppose Dr. Mason for the honor of representing the riding cf East Victoria in the local House, in accordance with his previously announced intention of so doing. Mr. Gordon and Dr. Mason were both nomi- nated at the olllcial proceedings on Tues- day last. _._Mr.Gordon, who is a Conser- vative, in his address following his nomination, stated that he had nothing against Dr. Mason, who was without . doubt a very worthy gentleman, but that what he objected to was the machine methods of a clique of professional poli- ticians. with Col. Sam. Hughes as the chief offender, who have been manipu- lating things to suit themselves, and who are responsible for Dr. Mason’s nomination, although the Dr. himself might be innocent. It is in opposition to those alleged machine tactics that Mr. Gordon is in the field. He also con- siders that he could be of great service to the constituency if elected, as he is familiar with parliamentary procedure and is personally acquainted with mem- bers of the Government. He mentioned railway extension to the north and development of idle water power as matters in which he thought he could be helpful. Mr. Gordon claims that the convention which chose Dr. Mason was not properly called, and that there were a number who did not even know there was a convention to be held on the date on which it had been held. .Dr. Mason, in replying to Mr. Gordon, denied having any knowledge of any pro-arranged movement to nominate him. When he went to the hall on the 11th inst. he did not know who were to be his mover and seconder. As for the convention not being properly called, everybody was notilied as far as he knew, and the few delegates from the north end of the riding who did. not attend could not have made any difier- once in the result. He had not sought the position at all. He would not make any promises, only that he.would look after the interests of the constituency to the best of his ability if elected, as he had every confidence he would be. He would be content to rely on his record in the municipal offices which he had held. ' Warden Geo. A. Jordan of Lindsay made a stirring speech on behalf of Dr. Mason. He scouted the idea of there having been any interference by Col. Sam Hughes or any one else. Dr. Mason had received the nomination in a per- fectly open and legitimate manner, and because he was considered to be the most desirable of the proposed candii dates. He said that when Dr. Mason was head of the county council, the opinion was unanimous that he was the best man who ever occupied the war- den’s chair. Dr. Mason had plenty of push, and push was better than pull any day. If elected, he would prove as popular a representative as Mr. Carnegie had been. Mr. Jordan said that although he himself had been nominated, and had not been the- choice, he was not feeling put out about it, and he would heartily support Dr. Mason as the choice of the convention, and hopedeverybody else would do the same. When Tories disagree who shall de-. eide ? is a question that might be asked if the disagreement were a serious one, but it does not appear to be of that nature. If the Conservatives them- selves are not capable of settling it, we have long since learned that it is positively no use giving them advice. Judging from general expressions of opinion, Dr. Mason will be elected by a handsome majority. Being the choice of the convention, a resident ofthe riding, and a capable man, it is difficult to see how the result can be otherwise. Mr. Gordon is known as the President of the Canadian Land and Immigration Com- pany, which held under crown patents 360,000 acres of well timbered lands in Dysart and eight adjoining townships. The company, in 1881, obtained by legal enactment a release from the bond re- quiring them to put settlers on these lands, build roads, etc., and since that time have, after expensive legal. con- tests, forced outrageously unfair agree- , ments upon the settlers and compelled them to pay nearly one half of the entire taxation of the 360,000 acres. The com- pany has recently attempted to force another agreement upon the municipali- ties for the term of 25 years. It is clear enough that Mr. Gordon has a good sized axe to. grind in connection with these lands, and his desire to become member for the local House is easily ex- plainnble. The election takes place on Tuesday, May 25th. ' Village council. _ Fenclon Falls, May 17th, 1909. Connerl met pursuant to adjournment. All members present. ' _ - Tenders received from J. H.
