I believe they epent more money in Muskoka this time thav in any other riding in the Province io previous elections. Jo fact it is said that the contest cost them fully $25,000, Mr, Mahaffy him- self attended Mr. Stratton's meetin on Monday night at Bracebridge, and actually produced money which had been paid to a Conservative elector by e deputy are officer, Premier Ross, Hons. Davis and J. R. Stratton and 9 large. number of Lib- eral membeis of Parliament were all working in Muskoka, and the Liberal perfect. Duncan Marechal! had been in Bracebridge for months past, assisted by a number o well known Liberal operators and Government officials, The Crossin af- fidavit proved a boomerang, much the disappointnrent of our opponente, who hope it would redound to their advantage. I huve no doubt that the Liberals would rather have lost in Sault Ste. Marie than in Muskoka. The Liberal workers there declared re- peatedly that they would carry the riding at any cost. Muskoka is perhaps more susceptible to Government pat- ronage than any other riding in On- tario, and the Government supporters were profuse in their promises of new roads and bridges Mr, Gamey vail a high tribute to Mr. Mahaffy, saying that he was a splendid candidate. hoss 18 MUM.
