ARE WE TO KEEP OUR PROMISE? If your bay is at the front, you should vote in his best interests, not in support of a party leader or a party candidate, .but in support of the boy. Which party, if elected, will do the best for the boy? The Unionists will send reinforcemets. “Bourassa and the Nationalists in Eastern and Northern Ontario and Nev'v Brunswick. as well as in Que- bec, are voting the Laurier ticket because they are 0})[_mst"(l to pat-.- ticipation in the war. There is. 11.) party in their minds. They do not love Laurier, but they hate Britain, and by voting for the Laurier can- didates they 'believe they will make the despatch of further reinforce- ments to the front impassihle ft,“ mam months, perhaps altogethel." Further, it says: "Bourassa has not changed his ground since 1899, when he began his long: fight against Canadian par- ticipation in the defence of the Em- pire. He has been consistently anti-British all the way through. He is behind Laurier because Lau- rier‘s devotion to the voluntary ser- vice idea and his policy of delay in providing reinforcements are more likely to hurt the Allied cause than the Union Government policy of immediate action. The Laurier party counsels delay, the suspension of the Military Ser- vice Act, and the taking of a pleb- iscite. Have the boys who are fighting for us time to wait for all this? Have they not been waiting too long already? Do we want to save the boys, or do we wat their blood to rise from the fields of Flanders and condemn us for no- glect of duty? WHAT BOURASSA STANDS FOR Yesterday’s Globe in an editorial on “W hat Bnuras sa Stands For" says in part: This is no ordinary politi'cal contest. This is not a time to sub-- ordinate principle to party. We must help to save the boys, and the only way open is to support the Ifnion Government or let the boys be slaughtered. We promised to help them tn the last man and the last dollar. Are we going to keep our promise? “By Voting with Bourassa and the solid National support he brings into the Laurier camp, everV En- glish- speaking Liberal who fails to) put eo'untIV before party is in ef- fect Voting to make pOVV erful in the Gmernment of the Dominion the anti-British principles for which Bourassa stands. "Sir Wilfrid says he wants to win the war, and The Globe accepts his statement as that of an honest man. But how can he aid in win- ning the war if he should attain power and be compelled to retain it by the support of a solid delegation of Quebec members. many of whom are outspokenly hostile to any fur-‘ ther contribution of Canada’s man- power to the Allied cause? English- speaking Liberals cannot afford to vote and WOrk for a party in which they can be no more than a tail to the Quebec Nationalist kite.“ THE VICTORY LOAN. The Victory Loan campaign has resulted in the raising of four hund- red and one million dollars. Of this vast sum the PI‘OVince of Ontario has subscribed over two hundred millions. or practically half the t0tal amount. The loan to the gov- ernment is a good investment. it brings in a little better than 5% per cent interest to the investor, di-l 1. verts an amount of the private! 4 funds of the country into the pub-1 iic treasury and renders it availableE for immediate use in the manufac- ture of munitions and other mili- tary requirements. The investments go towards the winning of the war and are to. be used for \var purposes only. In view of this. every purâ€" chaser ot' a Victory Bond is helping in the great issue that. more than any other, is the public concern of the times. The investor not only helps in the war. but hoids a safe security and increases his own in- come from the receipt. of increased dividends. ‘ " IRWIN, war and Wu The citizens of D11rh:1m,whose in- 3 Patrick Wm.

There are only two divisions in politics in this election: the Union Government party and the Laurier party. The address closed with a feeling appeal to all women to use their franchise in the interest of the Union candiâ€" .date. Mr. J. O. McCarthy, ex-Controller of Toronto. was the next speaker, and on rising expressed his regret at the absence of ex-Mayor Urquâ€" hart, who was unable to be pres- ent. lie-congratulated Mrs. Mal-- colmson for the excellence of her address, and congratulated the County of Grey, and Durham Distâ€" rict in rolling up such a magnificent sum for the Victory Loan. He announced himself as a Grit from away back, and pictured the joys of boyhood days when The Globe would reach his country home on Friday nights. He had '1.) apologies to make for attending :1 Union meeting. He had no- apolo- gies for' taking a different course from his former leader. If he did wmmg, there were many others of the party who did likewise, but he felt himself in good company. He was in company'with such old- time Liberals as Fielding, Row e11. Pardee Carx ell. Guthrie, and many others of the Old Party. Further than that, he w as still in company w 1th the ‘ Scotchmans Bible”, The Globe, and new 13* all the Liberal press. furnâ€" ing to the chairman, he said they had no reason to thinkihey were severing their connection with the Liberal party, but on the other hand the Union. Government would be the strongest Liberal Government the country over had. Reierring to the Kaiser, who claimed possessions in British Columbia, he felt assured the Kaiser, if allowed a vote in this election. would not cast it in favor of Union Government. He referred also to the alliance of Laurier and Bourassa to defeat the Union party. He made comparisons between ' enâ€" listments in Ontario and Quebec, and concluded his address with a strong,r appeal for united action and the putting away of party politics. Hon. W. D. McPherson was the last speaker, and on' rising expressâ€" ed pleasure in visiting the town and the town industries. He would en- deavor to supplement the able adâ€" dresses already given, and add some facts to clinch the arguments in favor of showing which side to support.
