WILSON, Pronfleton- As will be seen by our report on ' another page, the Liberal convention on Saturday afternoon selected Dr. Wilson of Fenelon Falls as its can- didate in the pending elections for the House of Commons, and the nom- ination is being received eyerywhere .by the most unbounded enthusiasm. Dr. Wilson is an ideal candidate. Bright, brainy and upâ€"to-date, he has a large acquaintance throughout the ridingâ€"both north and southâ€"and is everywhere held in the highest re- spect, and is a candidate to fight for and to cheeer for. He is a man of large sympathies and much exper- ience in public aflairs and is in every way qualified for the onerous and re- sponsible duties of a member oi the House of Commons, which are now quite indiflerently discharged. Dr. Wilson was born at Liflord in the Township of Manvers on the 26th of October, 1852, so that in electing him the people of the riding will be also celebrating his birthday. He grad- uated from Trinity University in 1878 having been a student of Trinity Med- ical School, Toronto, which was ai- tiliated with both universities. He obtained his M.C.P.S.O., and settled in June of the same year at Fonelon Falls. where he has practised contin- unlly ever since. He is president of L‘LNDSAY FRIDAY, l ( the board of trade 0! the cataract Village, chairman of the school board and medical health officer for Penel- on Falls, associate coroner for Vic- toria county, local surgeon tor the Grand Trunk Railway, from all 01 which it will be seen that he is a pretty busy man, and that a good deal oi his time has been given up to the public interest. And in adâ€" dition to these he holds several im- portant positions in connection with the Methodist Church. As an instance of Dr. Wilson's pub- lic-spiritedness and large-heartedness, it may be noted that last winter, when so much distress prevailed in Toronto’s Shacktown, he took the lead in stirring up the Fenelon Falls people to their relief, and succeeded in obtaining a considerable sum of money, which was forwarded to the people in want, together with about .a ton of clothing. On other occas- ions, too, he has been active in as- sisting the needy and relieving the distressed as well as being ever ready to do anything to advance the inter- ests oi the people generally. . It goes without saying that such a ,man'aenr. Wneoniemuehneededih DRUG-GIST Opposite Postomce, Lindsay DR.

The more reckless of the Conservative news- papers aflect to believe the words they p‘nblish about the decline 0: the Prime Minister's power and the as- cendancy of Mr. Borden and Mr. Geo. E. Foster, but the men who write the words smile cynically at their own bravado. Each new day of the campaign adds to the triumphs to! Sir Wilirid Laurier, and he stands invincible against all the slander and calumny of his enemies. “The fact is now being made plain even to the dullest wit in the Con- servative party that when Mr. Bor- den gave rein to the Foster-Fowler- Bennett clique of obstructionists and scandal-mongers he lost prestige as a leader and blundered as a tactician. The Opposition shot its bolt, and now it comes back as a boomerang. The reaction against scandal talk has set in. Independent opinion, both within and withOut the ranks of Lib- eralism, that might have thought faâ€" vorably of Mr. Borden and his party has been disgusted at the campaign, that is being conducted on his be-l, half, a campaign barren of construct- ive ideas, and rich only in insinua- tion and personal abuse.

Men of the older generation do not forget the similar campaign of slander made against Alexander Mackenzie, whom now the. same traducers of Wilfrid Laurier are ready to glorify. Had" moderation and decency been main- tained in Parliament last session and on the platform during the present campaign there might have been some falling away in the sweeping support given to the 7 Government (our years ago. But the Foster brigade over- shot the mark, and Mr. Borden. by allowing himself to be dragooned into adopting their scandal-tactics, will have to take the consequences. The reaction has set in. Laurier is now invincible." AMES AND HIS MOVING PICTURES The Ottawa Free Press remarks that Mr. H. B. Ames, M.P., and his lantern slides have returned to Mont- real, and we' are told by him that he has addressed 100,000 people from the Atlantic to the Pacific in his “ ex- pose of the timber lands scandal. " He may have done so ; but the prin-i Fcipal point of interest is as to the amount of acceptance which his statements received at the hands of his hearers, especially in the West. And from all the evidence that comes to hand it must be admitted even by the friends of Mr. Ames him- self, that the people of the West were not greatly impressed by his observa- tions. Those who live on the spot 7L- cannot be deceived as can those who live thousands of miles away. ' The people of the West know for themselves that the timber policy of the Lender Government has been beneficial to them and to the coun- try. They know that for the 6,500 square miles of timber lands leasedâ€" not sold â€"-â€" by the Government the public treasury received an average of $81 per square mile, as compared with an average of $81.16 received by the Government of the Province of Quebec. ’3 ‘L‘ ‘ ...... And they know that even if the system of leasing timber limits in the past was open to amendment, it was the same system which was handed down to the Liberals by their predecessors. and that it remained for the present Government, under Hon. Frank Oliver. to remodel that system so as to secure surveys oi limits before sale. to provide ior sales by public auction. and for the‘ compulsory establishment of saw mills. ‘ They know that the timber limits were of no value until the West had been developed, that it was first necessary to provide the consumers beiore capitalists would put their ‘money into the operation of timber {limits and that it was not until that point was reached that competi- tion became eflective. Just as soon as it did. the principle oi compe~ tition was adopted. and has now been the rule for over a‘ year. LAURIER INVINCIBLE Thus they are aware that the very reforms for which Mr. Ames is now clamoring so loudly were promulgat- ed by the Government last Decem- ber. And thus, it happens that the people of the West place little stock in Mr. Ames and his campaign. the above he the campaign Let Laurie:- flnish his work, send Dr. Wilson to help him.
