. THE Donott($TiR CAMPAKin.
Hon. Alpert Sevigny, Minister of
Iulaud Revenue in thrtBlydenUovern-
ment. was iv -elected in Dorchester.
Quebec, on Saturday, with a majority
roruewhat smaller than that which he
received at the general election of 1911,
Mr. Sevigny it a Nationalist, one of
those elected in 1911 with the approv-
• of of Mr. Bourassa, and he has not re-
canted the v:ewa which he ezprereed
at that dine. In the bye -election
campaign which has lint beat: con-
cluded, his utterances were not of it
character to inspire the confidence of
loyal' Canadieps. He and his cam-
paigners endeavored W arouse preju-
dice agaiert Sir Wilfrid Lienar by
pointing out that Hit tWilfrid bad
taken a thoroughly British attitude in
connectioe with the war. The follow-
ing is frOw a Moil and Empire des-

MulRsty that if blame fur the
accident is to be attached to anyone it
would he either to those who allowed
the m litary officer and hiscompwoions
to get into the place of danger or to
the victims themselves for being there.
At any rate, the trainmen had no
criminal intent, but were doing their
work and so tar as is known at present
were doing it properly, and they prob-
ably felt worms over the accident than
anybody else.
At one of the campaign meetings,
in a town' near the United States bor-
der, Hon. P. E. Blondin, another of_
the NAtionsllet members of the Borden
Government, sought to cairn the feel-
ing against cnomcriptioa by declaring
that, "evert if eeaseription were put in
foroe, it would ruean little to the
people of St. Mee. because th.j would
only have to' cross the frontier to
escape it."
L'Bveneuoent, a newspaper con-
trolled by Hon Mr. Blondin, came
out before the election with Haring
headlines anmruoeing that if L/urier
were returned to power .his first act
would be to pit conscription in force.
Tbousands of copies of the paper were
eirculared in the constituency of Dor-
chester by Mr. Hevigny's workers -
the Idea being, of course, to arouse
pre udioe against the Liberal candi-
dal e.
When Mr. 8rvigny wax elected in
1911 he and his fellow-Natir,nwlists
waged a hitter csmpeigo against Sir
Wilfrid Leurirr's proposals for the

that it would he used in fighting "Kng-
