A chief may he a silent man. Hu- man leadership is a power apart. This power Mr. Borden possesses in a large degree. His selection as leader of the opposition in parliament was not an accident, nor the result merely of clashing interests. He was a man and is a man! who commands confi- dence at sight. He has the calmness, the cool judgment, the constructive power which men of experience like "0n the platform he is not moving so much as argumentative. Audiences Joel at times as if he were paying them the high compliment of addressing himself to them under the impression that they are judges rather than jurors. There is a sense that what he is saying is important, and not merely ’artizan talk reeled out in machine (won. Impressiveness is. perhaps, to see. in those to whom they commit their interests. His lack of Pan-liej mentary experience they felt would be overcome: while he lacked the es- untiol qualities of leadership, no deft- “other tactics would have ever poved o substitute for them.” "Mr. Borden has made an excellent impression during his recent tour in the Eastern Townships. Though the elections are now delayed, this person- al canvass of an important district by theConservative leader has been by nomeans lost time. He is possessed of a personality which gains in im- pressiveness by closeness of contactâ€"â€" rather a rare quality in public menâ€"â€" and it would be impossible that he should come out of a series of meetings with a thoughtful and intelligent community like that of the manufacturing Eastern Town- ships without having greatly increased his prestige and strength.
