W. W. Parry in the field.. After spirited balloting the office was declared won by the latter. "Tom" Griffiths was again elected to the office of treasurer for the 25th year without opposition, and Charles E. Webster and W. H. Jeeves were elected as auditors. He concluded ‘his address with a strong appeal to the followers of Conservatism to "rest all their aims in Conservative ideals, which are Britâ€" ish ideals, which we are striving to and the countmg done by several members selected from the meeting. The result of the balloting was proâ€" ductive of several surprises, with the following elected to office: President, Charles King, with a plurality over all others, these being J. R. Findlay, of Swansea; W. H. Jeeves, of Oakâ€" wood, and "Bob" Marshall, of Islingâ€" ton, who fell out in the order named, J. R. Findlay being eventually electâ€" ed to the office of viceâ€"president, with Mrs. A. E. Baker being eventually elected to the office of viceâ€"presiâ€" dent, with Mrs. A. E. Baker elected as second viceâ€"president. : j Amongst the ladies on the platform were Mrs. Leopold Macaulay, Mrs. W. M. Graham, Mrs. Margaret Scott, Mrs, Jarvis, Mrs. A. E. Baker, Mrs. Pauley, Mrs. Butterworth, and many others, who were called to the platâ€" form as they were recognized appearâ€" ing in the room in the course of the early ‘proceedings. Soon after the opening of the proceedings Sir Henâ€" ry Drayton entered the hall and was accorded a rousing reception, which was indicative of the wholeâ€"hearted pleasure that was evinced on his reâ€" turn to activity. Some Surprises Created in the Election Results In a short and inspiring address the retiring president, Charles King, reviewed the work of the officers of the association during the past sesâ€" sion of their office. He lauded. the work of all the associate officers, makâ€" ing particular and telling reference to the work of the secretary, J. Earl Lawson, "who, I understand, has inâ€" timated his desire to retire," he said. sponded to the tune of $70.16. He then called on Mr. R. J. Flynn to conâ€" duct the meeting and election of ofâ€" ficers. f The ballot was proceeded with unâ€" der strictly parliamentary. principles, with the casting of ballots in boxes R. J. Flynn, of Weston; Warden W. M. Graham, of York County; Reeve J. Ray Price, of Etobicoke township; Deputyâ€"Reeve E. G.

However, this did not debar reference to the seâ€" lection of candidates for the leaderâ€" ship of the party, who should be seâ€" lected at the Winnipeg Convention. And in this regard the gathering were quite serious when Charlie Street, of Silverthorn, suggested that "the deleâ€" gates should go down empowered to put forth the name of Sir Henry Drayâ€" ton as a candidate for the high honâ€" or of being our leader. To this reâ€" mark there were rousing cheers, and undoubtedly the sentiment had many supporters, for on making a motion to this effect, the question was passed without dissent. 34 Taken on the whole, the meeting was redolent of the old time gatherâ€" ings, just the supgestion of heat perâ€" meating the members, who were not afraid to express their feelings and were most assuredly not in sympathy with anyone who savored of the rubâ€" ber stamp variety.. Mr. Flynn declarâ€" ed after the session was over, that it was a good meeting, though a aittle difficult at times. But then I like to see folks taking a real interest in events, and that‘s what they did. f How True It Is! Motherâ€"Mary aren‘t you getting too big to play with the boys?" Maryâ€"Oh, no, mother; the bigger I get the better I like ‘em." Motions of sympathy were passed relative to several of the oldâ€"timers who had passed away since the last general meeting, and one of hope and trust that good health may be restorâ€" ed to "Bob" Bull, who has been long suffering from illness, for which reâ€" gret was extended. _ At times the meeting became quite heated with many from all parts of the hall taking part in cross arguâ€" ments relative to the possible virtues and powers of delegates of the reâ€" spective friends, and the like, Strong exception was taken over the fact that there would be no provision for the worker to attend the convention, but there did not appear to be any other course presented to follow than that those going should foot the bill themselves or through their own orâ€" ganization. Numerous Incidents of the Session _ â€" In the course of the afternoon there were several little incidents inâ€" terjected into the proceedings, such as the special invitation that we exâ€" tended to those who were believed to be the two oldest Conservatives in the room, to the platform, these being Messrs. Dan Rowntree and Alex. Johnston. Think What Adam Escaped "I wish I had lived three hundred years ago." "«Why ?" - "I shouldn‘t have had so much his~ tory to learn." for the various offices, . community singing was indulged in by the, vast gathering, and several items of more or less interesting business were disâ€" cussed. The chief matter before the meeting was the selection of delegates for the national convention, which is to be held in Winnipeg in October next. This left the selection of four alterâ€" nate delegates, and this was relegatâ€" ed to the work of the respective orâ€" ganizations at a future meeting to seâ€" lect their respective candidates for the consideration of the parent organâ€" ization. f Considerable fuss was created as to the disposition of the seat for the other delegate. Many ladies in , the audience stood behind the spirited claims of Mrs. Margaret Scott, that a lady should be selected. _ Eventually the gentlemen, who were still standâ€" ing as nominated delegates, retired, and Mrs. Scott was selected as the other delegate. ____ wl F Relative to this matter past Seereâ€" tary Lawson intimated that Mr. J. R. McNichol was to deliver a speech on this subject, but a wire received that morning had informed of his inabiliâ€" ty to be present as he was detained in Ottawa on matters pertaining to the convention. Mr. Lawson then went on to deâ€" scribe the conditions which were enâ€" tailed in the appointment of delegates, and declares that while rates were exâ€" pected to be obtained on both the railroads, it would be necessary that such as were elected delegates would have to finance the trip themselves or through the agency of their respecâ€" tive associations. "There will be no central fund to meet the necessary exâ€" penses," he declared. Meeting Became Uproarious in Selecting Delegates At this juncture the meeting beâ€" came somewhat uproarious, and in view of the fact that the hour was drawing late, there seemed be a spirâ€" it of unrest breaking out, that called forth the best efforts of Chairman Flynn to hold the meeting in order. Declarations against the policy of not making it possible for the working man to be present at the convention, in some manner was expressed. _ One member intimated that he was preparâ€" ed to go and pay his expenses, but that he demanded the privilege of half an hour on the platform at Winâ€" nipeg. ~"He was going to be no rubâ€" ber stamp for a parcel of lawyers", and was waiting word from Mr. Mcâ€" Nichol on this matter before deciding to go. His remarks elicited quite an uproar of boos and jeers. To these he spiritedly responded that "it was high time that the farmer and the worker were recognized as an essenâ€" tial to the party as the lawyers, who only made laws to suit themselves." The ultimate result of the ballotâ€" ing for the distinction of attending the convention was arrived at by the chair declaring that the two sitting members would have to be permitted as delegates and they were, therefore, nominated, these naturally being Sir Henry Drayton and Leopold Macauâ€" lay. The balloting proceeded with the result that Mr. F. H. Miller was the selected delegate.
