mum 30mm men. Poliec magistrate Graig, of Sea. We notice that our friend of The Review is worriedabout the expel» diture by Cabinet ministers who go about the country in private cars, and the advertisements \and posters that have been used during the campaign. It’s perfectly horrible! We notice, also, by the public press that Sir Wilfrid Laurier Spoke to large gatherings from an private car at difl'erent points. only a week or so ago, when‘ on his trip to Win- nipeg and the West. We think Sir Wilfrid did perfectly right in travâ€" elling as he ,did. The railroad com- panies would charge him naming for his transportation, and we fancy also that they would charge him nothing for hauling his car. Though not disposed to support Sir Wilfrid. we would hate to see 1 man in his position sleep every night in a strange bed, leave orders for an early call, to get an early breakfast and catch an early train. We hope we have larger ideas. We also notice that The Review had the same Union Government, ad- vertising that appeared in The Chronicle, and we expect he’ll get pay for it. We could have refused it, but we didn’t. We thought it was all right. We have refused li- quor advertising because . we thought it was wrong. The Review refused the same kind of advertisâ€" ing for the same reason. If he thought the Union Government ad- vertising was wrong, why did he take it? If he gets pay for it, will he use the filthy lucre for his own use, or will he give it to charitable purposes? Does he think it pays to advertise, or does he simply want to find fault? " We know it pays to advertise in The Chronicle. and we believe the Union Government thinks it pays to advertise in The Chroicle. If the Union Government thinks it pays to advertise in The Review, and the Editor of The Review thinks it pays to advertise in The Review, then The Review advertising must have influenced Laurier supporters and caused them to vote for Union Gov- ernment. If The Review supported the Lau- rier candidate ‘with his vote, 0n the one hand, and took away voters from the Laurier candidate through the drawing power of his, advertis- ing, what benefit has The Review been to Mr. Wright. and what bene- fit has The Review been to the Lau-o rier Liberal party? We must come to the conclusion that The Review advertising has injured Mr. Wright, or the Review advertising has no drawing power. The Review evi- dently did not want to injure Mr. Wright, and must have thought The Review advertising was‘ not going to be of any benefit to the Union The Editor of The Review is an honest man, and would not take money for something that is of no value. If the advertising were of value, it drew voters to _ the Union side; if it drew voters to the Union side, it drew voters from Mr. Wright. We believe that adver- tising pays, and we believe advertis- ing in The Review ought to pay. We believe The Review thinks that ad- vertising pays, and if approached by a representative of the Union Government he would express his belief in the value of Review adver- tising. Now. if the facts agree with his belief. and we are not going to ques- tion the truth of it, then the adverâ€" tising in The Review during the past weeks benefited Union Govern- ment. but injured Mr. Wright and the Laurier Liberals. We are not finding fault with The Review for taking the advertising, but we think he should have kept quiet about it if he didn‘t want an exposure of his inconsistencies We are not charging The Review with being knowingly inconsistent, and know he wouldn‘t like us to cheese him are weaning to get out at it? forth, has handed in his decision in the Queen‘s Hotel cases, which have been adjourned several times. Thos. Stephens, Sr, was flped 875 and costs, and the son $10 and costs, and were bound over to keep the peace by giving a bond to the court. The cases were the outcome of the re- cent raid made by county constables acting for the county temperance organization, when the 03 men Thursday, December m, 1917. AR ADVERTISING PROBLBI. W Immatuallm Owing to the recent disaster in Halifax, the election has been post- poned by an order-in-council to Monday, December 28th, the same date as polling in the Yukon. Sir George Foster, Minister «.l' Trade and Commerce, and Unionist candidate for North Toronto, was injured by a shunting locomotive on Friday night last, and sustained injuries that will confine him to the hospital for some time. He is suf- fering from a fractured collar bone and a scalp wound, but his condition is not considered serious. Major H. Cronyn, Unionist candi- date in London, had a majority of 1690. This is the home of the Lon- don Advertiser, the only English- speaking daily newsfiaper in Canada to use an undivided influence for Sir Wilfrid Laurier. Even The Ad- vertiser will have a ohancenow to learn of Canadian loyalty. Yon can‘t fool all the people all the time. Hon. N. W. Rowell, .leader of the Ontario Liberals, ran in the county of Durham as a straight Unionist, and was elected by a majority of over 4,000. That “leading Toronto lawyer” who spoke here a week ago in Sir Wilfrid’s praise, predicted Rowell’s defeat by a thousand ma- jority. That leading lawyer did nothing but abuse the old Borden Government and the members of the Union Cabinet. This is the 20th century and mud-slinging in this enlightened age is not the best me- thod if winning elections. When the returns are all in, the new Union Government will have a majority of 50, from present indi- cations. This is not bad when we consider the Opposition had an al- most solid Quebec with 65 members to start with. Add to this the Gerâ€" man vote and a large army of slack- ers, and they have a good showing. Kitchener has polled a heavy vote against Union Government, and to their own injury have spoken through the ballot box their anti- British sentiments. Hanover’s his vote against Ball shows the same sentiment, and the business men will suffer from its eflects. All Ger- man towns at present are under a suspicion of disloyalty, whether dc- serving it or not, and to live it down with a strenuous and conscientious support of British laws and British institutions is the quickest road to success. North Grey returned W. S. Mid- dlebro’, Unionist candidate, with a majority of 1,400. Sydenham town- ship gave a majority for Dr. Danard, but Middlebro led in all the others, and had a majority of 325 in Owen Sound. The Sun fought hard for Dr. Danard, but it didn‘t shine in the right place. North Wellington went for Union Government by electing Clarke by a majority of 1,000. Up to a few days before the‘ election,‘ Mr. Hazlewood was in the field as a Liberal Union- ist, but to prevent the possibility of electing McEwing, the Laurier candidate, he dropped out to unite the Unjo‘nist forces. Mr. Clarke was ‘member in the last parliament and claimed the preference. Mr. Haz- |lewood’s manly sacrifice is deserv- ing of recognition, and should he run at any future time he deserves a large support from those who were formerly Conservative in their political leanings. Toronto and the three Yorks went solid for Union. and the three can- didates-elect had overwhelming majorities. In Parkdale, Mowat, the Liberal Unionist, endorsed by Sir Robert Borden, had nearly 1,900 of a majority. He was slated for defeat by that “leading Toronto lawyer” who also predicted Mr. Bowen’s de- feat in the county of Durham. In South-East Grey, as expected, the big majorities for Mr. Wright were rolled up in Hanover and Nor-‘ manby, where there was a prepon-: derenoe of the German element. Hanover gave him 358 and Norman- hy 350 cf gf majority. DAI! AND POWER-HOUSE, ALSO THE GENERATOR OF THE. DURHAM FURNITURE. COMPANY’S PLANT ON THE ROCKY SAUGBBN RIVER. Photos by courtesy of the Electrical News, Toronto, Ont. The Hon. flush Guthrie, who ran ELECTION NOTES. in South Wellington as a Liberal Unionist, endorsed by Sir. Robert Borden, is pretty sqre of his elec- tion with a majority of 5,000. - We heard some say he has gone wro g in his head, but the wrong will lead him to Ottawa. We don’t know whether the pres, ent Union Government has more Liberals or Tories, according to the old standard of measurement, and we don’t care, so long as they are all win-the-war Unionists. North Essex, with 'a large French population, gave a majority of 1,500 to W. C. Kennedy, the Laurier Lib- eral. South Essex returned Atkin, another Laurier Liberal, by a ma- jority of 100, but the soldiers’ vote is to come yet and the Tommy Atâ€" kins in the trenches may. spoil the hopes of Atkins in South, Essex. The 99th Battalion was recruited largely from South Essex. and will yet he heard from. , Dr.-Michael Clark, of Red Deer, Alberta, has been re-elected by a majority of 900. We are glad of this, as he is one of Canada’s truest patriots. The Western provinces did nobiy. Manitoba and British Columbia give only one member each to Laurier, while Alberta and Saskatchewan made a clean sweep for Union. Our cotem, in reporting Mr. Slaght’s address says his closing ap- peal to women and men who valued the best war service to soldiers and dependents, who desired clennness in public life and honesty in public contracts will bear fruit Monday." Right you- are, brother. That lead- ing Toronto lawyer must he a prophet and the son of a prophet. It did' bear fruit on Monday 9y giving Mr. Ball, in‘ Durham alone, a major- ity of 228, the biggest majority ever given to any candidate at an elec- tion held here. Somebody signing himself ".l.A.1".” in The Review, in speaking of “I'm- ion Governmentâ€"What Kind?” says: “The great majority of the permle have been in favor of Union Govern- ment since shortly after the \var commenced. They are still in favor of Union Government. but they do not believe that the Government as formed by Mr. Borden is a real Union. The question that presents itself to the thinking public is: "is this Government formed by Mr. Borden and his advisors a legally- iformed Government and is it so 'constituted as to command the respect and confidence of the pmâ€" ple of Canada?” In answer to this perplexing question we’ll just refer our anxious enquirer to the election: returns that were published Threw; day in The London \dvertisvr, and} after a careful perusal he W111 comej to the conclusion. no doubt, thatf the thinking public are sadly in the! minority.

Earl Shoemaker, who lives on 16th Street, West, got the worse of li- quor on Tuesday and lay out all night in the snow, with the Insult that he had his feet badly frozen. He was found lying in the snow near the Galbraith factory by some of the men going to work in the morti- ing. The men at once telephoned to the police and Shoemaker was taken to the police station, where a charge of drunkenness was regis- tered against him. The magistrate was going to remand him to jail but a doctor advised that he he sent either to his home or' to a hospital, LAY OUT ALL NIGHT. u: want mamas. TORONTO MAN LAY IN MORGUB FOR TWO DAYS. One of the strangest stories in connection with the Halifax disasâ€" ter is being told by Mr. Harry Row- land, of the Department of Public Health, who returned last week from the stricken city, where he has been representing Toronto in relief work. According to Mr. Rowland, who states positively that his informa- tion is absolutely correct, a certain Toronto man who was employed as instructor in the Royal Military College at Halifax, was just about to summon the cadets, when the ex- plosion occurred. The gentleman in question stated that he felt “flatten- ed out” when the force of the ex- plosion struck him, and that all then became a blank to him. Some time later he awakened to consciâ€" ousness to find himself lying stret- ched out, with a sheet over him, face and all. He could not move hand or foot. Some time later, he could not say how long, he felt the sheet being drawn off his face, and was conSCi- o'us of someone looking at . him. Then a voice said, “No, that isn’t the one,” and the sheet was drawn over his face again. This occurred sev- eral times and still he was unable to move or indicate in any way that he was alive. After lying in this condition for two days, the ability to move his' arms and legs slowly returned, and the gentleman managed to stretch out his hand. He touched a cold face. He stretched out the other hand, and it, too, came in contact with a stifl‘, cold body. Then he realized that he was in the morgue. Struggling to his feet he staggered frdm the “dead-house” into an ad- joining room, where a nurse was caring for wOunded. A doctor was summoned and the gentleman was taken to the home of his brotherâ€" in-law and cared 'for. He has lost the use of one eye, but is slowly recovering from his other injuries. The Sault Ste. Marie Express, whose editor and publisher, C.‘ N. Smith, is the Independent-Liberal candidate endorsed by Sir Wilfrid Laurier in Algoma West, has been suppressed by the censor in conseâ€" quence of recent articles therein deâ€" clared to be of distinctly seditious character. On the platform Mr. Smith is also finding it impolitic to voice his un-Canadian sentiments, the disapproval of _ the audience with his remarks all but breaking up a meeting here which he was addressing last evening, says .a des- patch from Sault Ste.

HOME ON FURLOUGH. . Lieut. Frank Bolton is home visâ€" iting his mother, and“ this furlough will last until the last of the year. Frank was at the front 22 months, and was in many of the engage- ments through which the Canadian troops passed. When asked about the outlook, he replied that it was a stiff proposition, yet, but the Allies have the preponderance of guns and men. He inclines to the opinion that a revolution may hasten the end of the war. He contracted trench fever, and is slowly getting over it.â€"-â€"Wiarton Canadian Echo.
