THE FIGHT IS ON IN REAL EARNEST Splendid Conservative Meetings are Being Held in Both If the swing of victory ever mark- ed any campaign '1: is a chief char- atteristic oi the present fight. for a. conservativ; success in these ridings. Passing into the third week the bontest bears the signals of triumph for the grand old party. Behind the smoke and din of battle they are 'borne aloiti and thrill with hope and enthusiasm every heart to whom this great cause is dear. The same union, the same dauntless spirit and vigorous action for two weeks more and. beyond a doubt, the fight is The committee rooms are increas- inglv a cent re of keen strategV, grow- ing enthusiasm and persistent work for Dr. Vrooman. Last week the registration of new voters was carefully looked after and the re- sult appears to have been in the conservative interests. Music, sing- At Yalentia. When we went to press last week Dr. Yroomar. was holding a meeting at Valenti-a. It was a great success. The electors of that district listened with the closest attention While the doctor, Mr. A. F. Campbell, and Mr. John MeSweyn discussed the issues of the day. The former speaker de- livered a vigorous criticism of the govermnent's broken pledges and bungle of the preferential tariff. Mr. McSweyn showed its insincerity in dealing wifli the liquor traffic. Ramsay‘s Hall. On Thursday night a good meeting was held at, Ramsay's. Dr. Vrooman Mr. J. D. Flavelle and Mr. Jas. Box- all were the speakers. The people of that section evidently understand the case against the government and are waiting to mark their ballots ac- cordingly. Won. The Meeting at Gertley's. On Friday night the candidate. Mr. Iioxail and Mr. Flavelle, held a meet- ing in the. old church at Gertley‘s. It was the test of the campaign. The houSc was crowded with adherents of each party. )Ir. Flavclle made a. capital speech. In his telling fash- jcz. he showed that the alterations rhade by the Liberals in the tariff is working against the Canadian farm- Dealing with the preferential tariff Mr. Flavelle declared that, when his firm buys goods in England, the sel- ler puts the price up so that the pre- ference of 33 1-3 per cent. really give the consumer no advantage. All he has to do Is to compete with the hmerican or other dealer. The dif- ference in tarifi simply goes into the pocket of the Englishman. Mr. Flavelle‘s spceL‘h made a. decid- ed impression. On Thursday night a strong meetâ€" ing was held at McGee’s. Messrs. A. F. Campbell, W. Switzer, S. J. Fox, M.P.I’., and Dr. Cameron Were the speakers. Mr. Hooper was chair-1 Jnan. The able array of speakers were heard attentively and applauded vigorously by the audience while they laid bare the inability and ini- quity of the Liberals. Frank Hill (Emily.) On Friday night Messrs. Campbell, )eo. Blackwell and S. J. Fox, M.P.P. spoke at Frank Hill. The coal oil and binder twine grievances of the pee-pie against the government were handled without gloves. It was clearly showed that by removing the duty on American oil coming in in tanks the government had enabled the Standard Oil (‘0. to close out the l‘anadian owners and put the price up on Canadian consumers. By sell- ing the twine output of Kingston penitentiary to one of its favorites, It. Hobbs... for-less than cost the government had enabled him to make IN THE SOUTH RIDING At McGee’s. a. fortune and pay American compet- itors to stay out. As a result farm- ers pay half as much more for twine than when the Conservatives were in power. Although late in beginning Col. S. Hughes has gone into the North and with his oldtime vigor is hurrying from point to point rallying the varâ€" ious columns for action. While he was fighting the Queen's enemies in Africa Dr. McKay was busy looking after his own interests in the riding; but the colonel 9:; back and the Northmen see ‘the situation.

On Friday- night the colonel held a rousing meeting at Hartley. The hall was crowded. The colonel after expressing his pleasure at seeing such an overflowing meeting. and so many of the fair sex present. hrielly reviewâ€" At Lamb’s Schoolhouse On Monday night the rain and the darkness did not prevent Dr. Vroo- man and Mr. Campbell from going to Lamb's schco,house in Verulam. Nor did it keep the crowd away. Mr. Campbell spoke vigorously for nearly two hours. Mr. Charles Fairbairn ed his COLII‘St: during the last parlia- ment, and casually unmasked some of the whispering and pro- mises of o; gonont.

The colonel's propo- to have the road start or some other good sition was from Kitimai. harbor in Canada and run via Glen- ora to Klondyke. On the guarantee that the government scheme would be so modified it. was supported. Mr. Baylor alsobrought up a question regarding the Crow's Nest Pass Ry., but Col. Hughes corrected him.

Many of these papers are really choice. won: of the highest type of beautiful literature and altoâ€" gether are good, excellent, moral reading. Mr. Hughes, however, a. the debate asked the father of the bill to so amend it as to prevent Sunday labor all over Canada on the Monday morning papers, which are nearly entirely worked on Sunday. Thepromoter of the. measure did not object so much to that violation of the Sabbath. His opposition to forcing some road away in the west to be allowed to charge. only 20. per mile ‘was also referred to. When the Saturday ex- cursion tickets were formerly issued, the rate in Victoria county was only; 30.. viz., 11/2c. per mile each way. Excursion and holiday rates were ins. finitely cheaper than 2c.
