South Grey has the best man in the riding for the Legislature, and a man whose personal popularity, coupled as it is with the three years’ good government of the province by his party, will add greatly to his majoritv over Mr. McCannel, the Liberal candidate.

Mr. MacKay suits his language to his audience. In one part of the coun- try the ear of the miner and the settler must be tickled. In another a. special story is provided for the benefit of the agriculturist. In still a. “11111 district the supporters of the public school receive attention. But the trouble is that each of the Liberal Leader’s statements here quoted is incorrect. Under the present Administration the Provincial revenues grew from $6,128,000 in 1904 to $8,320,000 in 1907, or 26 per cent. The expenditure on North Country roads has grown from $175,620 to $351,000 in 1907. or 100 per cent., and this year the sum set aside for this purpose is $488,000, besides $180,000 for bridges. In 1901: the North Country schools received $47,912., and last year they got $85,000. In 1904 the Ross Government 'devot- ed $462,903 to agriculture, and this year the grant is $778,390, an increase of 41 per cent. The grant. to rural schools is $381,843 this year. as compared with $123,033 three years ago, an increase of no less than 200 per cent. This is aside from the larger appro- priations for continuation schools, high schools and school inspectors. Mr. MacKay does not take sufficient pains to prepare his case. His statis- tics are almost always glaringly incor- rect. They are often so far astray as to be ludicrous in the extreme. A CAMPAIGN 0F MISREPRESEN- TATION. (Christian Guardian.) There are times when our secular press can be, and is. notoriously parti-, san and unfair. And such a time isl now upon us in the fair Province of Ontario. As an illustrationâ€"and re- member we take it only as an illustra- tion, for there are many others that can quite match itâ€"we might mention the leading Liberal organ in this City and Province. It has long been re-; garded by many as the best among our daily papers, decently fair and honorable in its treatment even of political issues, and aiming to make its leadership not only a party, but a national one as well. And yet its campaign at the present time in pro- ‘rincial politics is marked by over- statement. Misrepresentation, and unfairness that, to us at least, seems to have almost over-stepped the limit of decency. Mr. Whitney and his government should be made to face their responsi- bility relentlessiy. and the Opposition press will fail in its duty if it does not make them so face it, in sight of the whole province they were elected to serve, but that is no excuse for a campaign of misrepresentation and false emphasis. And yet that is the kind of campaign that too often we are treated to by the organs of both parties indiscriminate- 1y. And it is considered the best and most effective kind of campaigning too. But to consider it such is surely to put a poor estimate upon the fair. ness and discernment of the people. And the question comes, “Is there not a better, a. more honorable, and a more Christian way?” ’ NOT GOOD AT FIGURES. a some of the temperange hard e? 'I 873 10 Reasons Why Voter's Should Vote for Neil McCannel. 1. Because he is inclination and the 111g duties, render all the elecun 2. Because as .a farmer. knowing farming conditions, he condemns the extravagance that has in 3 years in- creased the eXpenditure per capita as much as in the preceeding 33 years, this increase being large y in depart- ments that do not benefit, the farmer. 3. Becaare Mr. \Vhitney, through receiving an enormous majority yield- ed to the spoilsmen, almost a clean sweep being made of the License In- spectors and in the last days of the session gave grants and guarantees in- to the millions. 4. Because Mr. “'biti'iey broke his promises as to giving a. measure of Law reform, ending the session with another promise, which may also be kroken. 0. Because of the maddling thev made of School legislation almost tak- ing all power out of Trustees’ hands, until the indignation of the public and pressure of the opposition compelled them to withdraw it. Besides, their vacillating policy as to Model Schools is not in the interest of the poor man. 6. Because the Conservative treat- ment of Northern Ontario has led to a danger Jus secession movement. 7. Because the government bung- ling and procrastination on the power question resulted in losing for the Province the valuable asset of Niagara power. 8. Because of 'the government’s lack of trust in the people that gave them their big majority. as shown by the unnecessary Redistribution Act and the manifest intention snown therein to increase the Conservative chances, especially in Toronto. 9. Because Dr. Jamieson when in opposition. wanted the number of members reduced to 60, wanted the bounderies of constituencies to be fixed by judges, the redistribution only after a census, yet. a few weeks ago he voted to increrse the members to 110, to have a redistribution, even when there was no census, and that a com- mittee of5 Conservatives and 3 Lib- erals should change the Constit- uencies. ' 10. Because Dr. Jamieson owing to his many cement and other inter- ests cannot give and has not given the efficient service South Grrey deserves and requires. The "Ten Reasons Why Voters Should Vote for Neil McCannel” are given in this issue at the request of the Editor of the Review and the de- sire of the Liberal Candidate. \V e undertook in a recent issue to show the fallacy of the reasons, and did not expect to refer to then; again. The whole series consists of weak state- ments that will deceive no one who understands the political situation and has kept in touch with the work- ings of the Whitney Government for its three and a half years of office. The farmer is the only class in whom the Review and Mr. NcCannel are apparently interested, and neither the Editor nor the candidate is in re- ality a farmer. The farmers have rights and interests that should be respected, but no such (try was put up for Dr. Landerkin, Mr. Miller or for Mr. McKechnie, They must have something to say and it seems to suit them at this particular juncture to put up a bid for the farm vote. Nearly all of these ten reasons were taken up in a recent issue and to again review there would be a needless waste of energy. The farmers are quite well aware of the fact that the Govern- ment of the past three years has con- tributed more to reduce taxation than the previous Government ever did in the same length of time. The increas- ed expenditure is to some extent ac- counted for by the fact that increased grants to agriculture and education are included in the outlay. It will be noticed too that the Globe and other Liberal papers have been favorable to the \Vhituey administra- tion till the election was almost an- nounced. It woul never do to let that event go by without some sort of criticism. W hen the present Conservative candidate favored a reduction of mem- bers in the Legislature, the Liberal party was in power. and his efforts in the way of renuction were voted down, neither party being in favor, of it. He is of the same opinion still re- garding a decrease of membership and will support such such measure when the time comes for Legislation. The Review, and we presume Mr. McCannel also, evidently regret that Dr. Jamieson has brains enough to under 'ake any business outside of his paaliamentary duties, and in Reason No. 10 he is charged with taking a. part in the cement business and ne- glectng his work in Toronto. The ten reasons why Mr. McCannel should be elected will be easily offset byalack of votes on Monday next, and may be xiv an as one rsason why he was not elected.

His oldest colts are now four years old and all have changed hands at good prices, which should convince anyone wanting to raise colts that this is the horse to use. His colts are all good- tempered and easily broken to harness. The Commissioners sent out by the Provincial Government in January of last year to inspect all stallions kept tor service, reported this horse as scor- ing 85 points which they say was the nearest perfection of any stallion they had inspected in their whole rounds. â€"Thamesville Herald. Mr. Geo. Peal-t had a new Sherlock- Manning parlor organ placed in his home last, week for his daughter Mary. ’Twas purchased from Mr. John Mur- doch, 01 your town. Myrtle McClocklin has shown quite amusical gift, so her dad ordered a handsome Bell organ from Messrs. McLellan McQueen, of Durham. It came to hand on Saturday evening. Master Percy Hunt and his sister, Miss Myrtle, graduated from the Strat ford Commercial College last week. Percy arrived home on Saturday even- ing and Miss Myrtle is to arrive this \Vednesday. We welcome these bright young spirits to the old neighborhood. Mr. and Mrs. John McKechnie, of the Rocky, spent; the first of the week with Mr. and Mrs. ‘Vill Jack. What proved a most serious accident happened on Tuesday of last week, when Mr. \Vill Hewitt began to move his household effects from lot 2 on the 8th con. out to near town on the 2nd con. He had two loads ready to start, one to be drawn by a spirited team of Mr. Dan McArthur’s, the other by Albert McNally. Mrs. Hewitt and two children were on the top of the first load and Miss Mamie Hurly on the second. J ustas Will picked up the lines, the horses became frightened at the high load and bolted, throwing the driver and Jerking the lines out of his hands. They soon upset the load on top of Mrs. Hewitt and the child- ren, the former getting badly bruised. Albert sprang to stop them, when his team took fright at the racket and away they went, running astride a telephone pole, smashing the tongue land Miss Hurly was thrown violently in among the horses feet and was badly trampled upon. On Thursday night of last week to Mr. and Mrs. Abel \Vright was born boy N o. '7. Both are doing well. This is aileighbm hood noted for boys. Mr. \Vm. Bailey tendered his resig- nation to the Trustee Board of No. 5 on Saturday. ‘ The section regrets parting with Mr. Bailey as he is in good favor with his pupils; but the mystic spell of the \Vest is upon him. There was a political pow-Wow in! the Tp. Hall on Friday night in the1 interest of Dr. Jamieson. Quite a crowd present. Mr. W. H. Arrow- smith made a good chairman. Mr. Frank McFarland was the first speaker ‘ and a most clever one too. Givesi promise of being a speaker of high standing. The genial Dr. followed and gave an account of his steward- ship and the many beneficial Acts of legislation passed by the 'VVhitney government. Mr. Geo. Binnie assailed both speeches; but was tumbled head- ; over-heels by the Dr. and his statute ibooks. The crowd enjoyed the fun. Candidly speaking, it appears to us, asif there wasn’t much enthusiasm among the electoxs of this vicinity over the matter. Farmers are doing a good deal of independent thinking and taking very little stock in the howlings of the Party press, or the pledges and promises of Party can- didates.
