It is an unpleasant duty, but necessity compels us and we are glad so many friends have seen it that way and have done so handsomely and kindly. Our sincere thanks are due those who during the past two weeks have attendâ€" ed to the cireulars sent out, by remitting or making arrangements to do so.

Not only he woun‘t say. but preparation is in progress for an elecâ€" tion. It was threatened last fall, then one was forecasted In Juoe, and it may come in September, If chere is to be no election Wwhy is there legislaâ€" tion to give seldiers a vote? Why aro ballots printed and rushed to Britâ€" ain and Bermuda ? Why are goyernâ€" ment printing offices working night and day on Voters‘ Lists 2 Thess were signs of an election warranting «ctiyâ€" ity, The actions of British statesman where an election was deferred though due, aod where cu,operation of both parties stayed partizin clamor, was in marked contrast to what we had in Canada. He referred to the ctiticism of the He pointed out again the necessity for organization and believed the reâ€" eord of the government would alienate many of their friends and if Liberals were true to principle they would win. Mr Graham hoped the Liberals of the Riding woulu, in the coming conâ€" test, be possessed of the yigor shown in the remarks of the Secretary, Mr Miller was a v~vorthy man to fight for, He had sat with him in the house and knew him to be one of the most conâ€" scientious, capable and industrions men that ever represented a constituâ€" ency, He had shown a manly indeâ€" pendence and a grasp of public quesâ€" tions few possessed, and Sir Wilfrid would rejoxce to see him retnrned as well ae others of his colieagues, Actiivity along partizan lines was in evitable as long as election was uncerâ€" tiin. Liberals must be ever ready, when their opponents can fix the date» No charge of disloyalty could be leyâ€" elled at them for they had opposed no war grants oor war measures but he defended their right to criticize home expenditures, _ For instance it had been proyed that licorice costing 6§ cts a lb, had been sold to the goyernment for $22.80 a 1b., surely this was a transâ€" action justifying criticism, He was as willing as any man to lick a war stamp if it was really going for war purposes but ke hated to do it because if was makivg him pay the profits on the old horses foisted on the government by party friends, Mr Miller realized the honor done him by being the choice of the old ridâ€" ing in 1914 and again of the enlarged riding this year,. If he consulted his business interest and his former interâ€" ests only there would be reasons to decline the nomination but on the othâ€" er hand it was an honor, the coufidâ€" ence bestowed made it a duty and beâ€" sides he had a hankering to be on the job, so even with a majority of 600 against him it was not enough to disâ€" courage, He warned his friends though that it would be the work of every man. . A turnâ€"over of 20 or 25 in each munmicipality would bring yvietory especially as the next election was likely to be less partizan than usual, His opponent was likely to be Mc Ball aund electors now would be able to contrast the services rendered by the two candidates and judge for themâ€" selyes, He pointed out instances of his independence of party in his forâ€" mer service, even on occasions voling ag inst his leader, His prominent connection with the Lord‘s Day Act and the Antiâ€"Gambling bill had veen much commented upon by unbiassed men, The Durbam armoury which he had dealt with in a business way,~ a public building in Hanover and one to come in Durham, and other things was evidence of his efforts locally. We found it impos:ible last week to make use of our notes of the speeches of Mr BH. H. Miller and Hon, Geo. P. Graham at the Liberal Convention, but even though a week has elapsed their points are still good. Both men are intelligent observyers of current politics, and both have done much for their sountry.

McDonald, editor of the Toronto Globe, will speak at a big patriotic concertin Priceville on Tuesâ€" day, June 29, Make it a point to bear him. The annual meeting of the Red Cross Workers will be held in the Armories on Saturday, June 19th at 3 p. m. _ All ladies are invited to attend. A full meeting is desired. The townships of Bentinck and Glenelg as well as the town of Durâ€" ham are interested, but they will scarcely give a grant if Durham re. Inge. There are reasons why Durham should_refuse, so the alternative seems to be that some equitable system of support be devised, and that must come largely from plotâ€"holders. Sureâ€" ly public spirit will not allow the cemâ€" etery where rosts their dead to beâ€" come as a waste, for the reflection would fall heavily on all concerned. Jur columns are open for suggesâ€" tions, as attractive tree planting, caretakâ€" er‘s residence, tool house, water seryâ€" ice, &c., and more than all the salary of the caretaker. No other salary or emolument is given to any person. At present thke Hinances do not warâ€" rant engaging a caretaker, hence the search for funds, Mr Telford, more than any other, has given time and thoughe to this " @od‘s acre " and it would be a shame to let it fall into neglect. The only revenue at present comes from the sale of plots and as can easily be understood that becomes less and less a« the families of the community become supplied, From this reyenue in the past has come the many imâ€" provyements at present enjoyed, such The reques‘ for financial assistance so the Cemetery Co. having been mirned down by the Town Gouncil, the question of maintenance of that institution becomes of importance. Too few of the large number interestâ€" ed ever give a thought to maintenance after having once paid for their plot yet a little thought will convince any= one that maintenance is needed if the place is to be kept presentable. Fix the date in your mind, Friday, 25th June, and plan to be present. All young men especially from counâ€" try and town should be present. Though not a military man himself, he is of a militant family, _ Major General Sam Hughes, Minister of Militia, is a brother, Col. Wm. Hugkes another brother, is in England with the second contingent, while still anâ€" other brother John has charge of the military camp at Valcartier and this latter is further distinguished as the father of our own Sydney Hughes» Manager of the Royal Bank in Dur ham, Mr Hughes became known many years ago as the Inspector of Toronto schools, in which position he displayâ€" ed such marked ability and industry as to bring him widely into notice. For years he bore a burden now disâ€" tributed among seyeral men. His fame spread not only over the proyâ€" ince, but to the States and he has lecâ€" tured much in New York and in the great cities on and near the Canadian border . He has written several books on educational subjects. _A lecture from such a man will be a treat. He is giving his time absolutely free and as a close observer of the war situs tion cannot fail to be interesting. fee, but a voluntary collection will be taken up to defray expenses, the balâ€" ance to be applied to the patriotic fund. A musical program is also being preâ€" pared and the excellence of this, the abilitvy and renown of the lecturer, and the worthy motive underlying all, will no doubt tax the capacity of our town hall once more. No acmission The recently formed Patriotie League in Durham Ras secured for the first patriotic night under its auspices the presence of MrJ. L.
