THURSDAY, JUNE 22. mm csnmm L The British, as Well as the Ger- rmans, have wrongs that should be set right, and in this connection he referred to the attitude of Lloyd George, who struck the kev- note in denouncing drink as Brit- ain’s greatest enemy, greater even than Germany and her associates in the struggle. Mr. H. H. Miller, the Federal candidate for the Liberals, spoke at some length, his remarks being based largely on extracts from {the Hansards for some time past. lHe favors Sir Wilfrid’s attitude on ithe bilingual question. He found fault with the fuse and other questions relating to muni- tions. In speaking of Sir Sam Hughes he said, “He has been a live Wire; he has been doing things; but when he stood by Al- lison and. upheld his actions, it loyered him_ in his opinions.” _7 He was proud of the response Canada made in answer to the call for men to uphold the honor {of the Empire. Though the war is not ended yet he had every as- surance that the final result would be~a victory for the Allies and the downfall of the Prussian mili- tary spirit, .now trying to domin- ate the World. He referred with considerable pleasure to the united action of the parties in bringing about the adyanced :cemperapce _1eg_islation and was delighted to thih‘k the question was now out of politlcs anfi: in the 113an of thg people. . Mr. Scott Davidson, M.P.P., was 'the first speaker, and charged the Liberals with being dead here, as in many other places. The loss of some of the constituencies was attributable to their own neglect, and. he advised them to be up and doing. It is a mistake, he said, to leave off the selection of a candidate to the last minute, and then look for victory at the polls. He advised them to get ready, to keep their fences up, to look well after the lists and. to see that no Liberals were left off. He advised them to elect Dr. Jamieson if they are bound to elect a Conserva- tive. If not, defeat him and put a, Liberal in his place. 1 The annual convention of the Liberals of South-East Grey was held here yesterday afternoon The Weather Was fine, and as the farmers were. anxious to make the best of it, the attendance was not large. _f ___ ““v a; * We made it our business, too., to call for a few minutes at the comfortable home of Mr. and Mrs. Chas. McKinnon, where we met with a most hearty reception. The young peOple, Everett and Anna, were out at the time, but early next morning they hunted us over the two cities, and found us at last just as we returned from a motor trip through Fort Wil- liam. The next two hours was a genuine pleasure, as they took us on another run through Fort Wil- liam, and then hastened on to Port Arthur, where we had a most delightful time in viewing the magnificent buildings and paved streets, and at every turn; feasting our eyes on the beauties of Thunder Bay and the beautiful scenery that lay everywhere be fore us. The trip through Port Ar~ thur in Mr. McKinnon’s fine car was a real pleasure, and gave a far better conception and a far better opinion of the city than we otherwise would have had. We thank the young people sincerely for their kindness and courtesy, which will long be remembered , We had the pleasure, also, of meeting Miss Emma Edwards, for-- merly of Zion, but now a resi- dent of Port Arthur. She was well, and as cheery as ever, but retains a lingering liking for Durham and the scenes of her earlier days. While in the twin cities of Fort William and Port Arthur lately we had’the pleasure of meeting Mr. Sutherland and his daughter, Miss (."rertrude. Mr. Sutherland has not been Well for some time and, though physically feeble, he is mentally bright for a man who has passed the four-score mark. They were pleased to have us call, and lost no time in making enquiries about their Durham friends, to Whom they ‘Wished to be kindly remembered.
