Election is Over y AGNES C. MagcPHAIL Sincerel ECIATION M ~OwW NBz "OPICS: Health authori _ Mr Edwards himself, conducted a | clean campaign but has reason to ithlnk "save me from my friends" in |a number of cases. His friends in ( Durham were enthusiastic to a deâ€" gree, cars were running all day in his interest, and a majority of 467 in the town for Mr Edwards, while a compliment to him, compels the thought that there is shown a lack of gratitude to the lady who fought and won a grant for Durham Post Office. A year ago Miss MacPhull‘ got 208 votes in Durham, this time 246 : Edwards in Hanover had 100 votes fewer than Dr Campbell. There were small decreases in a few plac es but increase was the rule. Figâ€" ures elsewhere will tell the story. | Great interest was shown as re‘ turns came in. The Conservatve Committee rooms was a busy spot,| so was the telephone office ,till at‘ last the Town Hall was secured and‘ there the winners of the day aasembl led filling the hall even to standing | room. Miss MacPhail was sent for and until she came an impromptu program was conducted, Mr W. H'i Hunter of Egremont as chairman. Messrs Stewart McArthur and Wm. Ramage conducted some community singing, Arch Clark, Dromore, gave a couple of good recitations and at intervals returns from the Country were received. Mr John Whiteford, brimful of gratitude and thankful, ness, made a brief address. I al supporters throughout the Riding. At last the well known figure of Miss MacPbail appeared in the doorâ€" way and as she with some difficulty made her way to the front, tremenâ€" dous applause greeted her, continued as she stood before them, the victor of the day. She _ acknowledged in â€" happiest phraseology their warm â€"reception, and congratulated them on the vicâ€" tory, stressing the point that it was their victory, and disclaiming her own personality. _ Between few canâ€" didates and their supporters are such telepathic feelings as exist beâ€" tween S. Grey‘s member and her friends. The huge assembly were waiting to hear Miss MacPhail again when the chairman announced she had gone by request to speak to a crowd before the Hahn House balcony. She had intended to come back to the Hall but the announcement had the effect of sending everybody outdoors to swell the already crowded street to listen to the heroine of the day. Miss MacPhail stated it was not her victory but that of her many loyâ€" Mr Farquhar Oliver was calod up on for a speech and responded briefly, congratulating everybody on the success of the day. As is well known he was Miss MacPhail‘s chief platform ally in the campaign and is becoming a speaker of note. _ The election on Tuesday was one _of the keenest in many years. The Conservatve leaders made a strenuâ€" ous effort to defeat Miss MacPhail, they brought Meighen into the Ridâ€" ing, sent Hon. Hugh Gt}thrle to Hanâ€" over and Feversham, and some parâ€" ty hangersâ€"on with unwise zeal tried a whispering campaign, that recoilâ€" ed on their own heads. Miss Macâ€" Phall will, we think, consider this her greatest victory, considering the odds against her. She has won the hearts as well as the heads of the people of South East Grey. | 1722 Majority for Miss Agnes C. MacPhail ; Liberals will Form New Government Who for the third time has been the successful â€" candidate in South.â€" East Grey. AGNES C. MacPHAIL, ‘ She could not have achieved victory : herself. They could not pay for _ cars to carry voters to the polls, but _ relied on â€" democratic organization â€" and it was excellent organization and active assistance which won the day. She hoped to see a Parliament more democratic, and that no party would . gain a clear majorty as better legâ€" islation was then obtainable. Again warmly thanking all for the magnifâ€" icent victory, she promised with more experience, to give better ner-‘ vice to her constituents if possible, | than in the past. During the htter| ‘part of her address, some empty headed individual on Main St. atâ€" tempted to mar the speaking by conâ€" tinued blowing of an auto horn. The large crowd next called for Ollver. but the Provincial candidate spoke‘ only a moment, as the hour was late, and street traffic being held up.! f NOTES ‘ _ There will be still only one lady member in the House of Commons. , The verdict of the country for Mcâ€" Kenzie King, will cause Lord Byng to wonder if his action in refusing dissclution to King was the popular cpinion of the people. HON. J. A. ROBB Minister of Finance Whose famous "Robb" budget of this year, had much to do with the return of the King Government. Seven of the nine townsh.,s inâ€" creased their majority for Miss Macâ€" Phail and the other two, Artemesia and Osprey slightly decreased. Chatsâ€" worth gave her her first majority, while Dundalk, Hanover and Markâ€" dale reduced adverse majorities. Cameron Mcintosh of Battleford, Sask., has again been returned with a handsome majority. The Conservative camp at Ottawa, will think Grey and Bruce Co. as unâ€" feeling to their cause, as these counâ€" ties have returned three Liberal â€"and one U. F.O member. Egremont Township went over the top in their majority for Miss Macâ€" Phail. / We will not be able to say until the official count, which is the banner poll in the riding as to maâ€" jority for the lady member.
