Conservatives Nanneate East H uroc at -
M. P. to Oppose Liberal Candidate.
6 The North; Huron Conservatives at
their adjourned convention at Wingham
on Tuesday of this week rejected the jn-
vitation of the Liberals to co-operate in t
support o(, Mr. Arch. Hf slop in the com-
ing election, and not3inated Mr. James
Huron, as their candidate.
THE LADS IN KHAKI.
Registrar and Mrs. Coats received word
on :Monday that their nephew, Capt.
Charles Macpherson, had been killed in
action on Thursday last. He joined the
Hurons as a lieutenant. and afterwards
ook his captain's course with high honors.
Going overseas with his battalion, he
transfetred to the 42nd Highlanders in
order to get more quickly to the front.
lie went into the trenches in August and
t is supposed he was killed in the fighting
near Lens. He was in his twenty-seventh
year and was born at Clinton, the young-
est son of the late D. F. Macpherson.
His mother after living for some years in
Goderich went to Boston about a .year
ago to stay with her daughter, Mrs.
Morse, and is at present visiting at
Ottawa. There are two brothers. Stewart
of New Liskeard and R. C. of Ottawa,
and one sister. Mrs, -Morse, of Boston.
Bowman, the forme member for East
The action of the convention goes far
to justify those who believed that the pro-
posal made at the former meeting of the
Conservatives fur a joint convention was
simply a scheme to secure an election by
acclamation for Mr. Bowman. At any
rate. the proposal was made in such terms
that it could not possibly be accepted by
the Liberals. It was not a fifty-fifty con-
vention, with an equal number of Liber-
als and Conservatives. that our 'Conserva-
tive friends proposed. Here are the
words of their resolution on this point:
"A Union Government convention to be
held Tuesday. October 30, to which will
be invited ALL Liberals and Conserva-
tives," etc. Especially if held at Wing -
ham. it would be an easy matter for the
Conservatives to see that the convention
hall should be pretty well filled by those
of their own party stripe before the pro-
ceedings commenced. Such a meeting
could end only in a wrangle, with party
bitterness increased rather than moder-
aFed. The lfllpracticability of the pro-
posal was pointed out at once when it was
submitted to the president of the Liberal
Association, but of course the committee
from the Conservative, Association could
not alter Its terms.
It is to be noted. too, that no other
name than that of Mr. Bowman was pro-
posed by the Conservatives from first to
last. The Liberals of North Huron would
never for a moment agree to any proposal
by which he might -become their represen-
tative, and the Conservatives knew this
quite well.
The
P
maea
1 for ajoint conventionum
submitted in the terms above stated -the
only proposal made by the Conservatives
-was therefore necessarily rejected by
the Liberal executive.
Over two years ago a Liberal convention
had nominated Mr. Arch. Hislop, and
until Tuesday of this week he was the
only candidate in the field in North
Huron. Mr. Hislop is pledged to vote
for any measure submitted by any Gov-
ernment for the winning of the war. If
our Conservative (rierita really believed
that the war is the only issue before the
country. and if they were sincerely anxi-
ous to avoid an election contest in North
Huron. here was their opportunity. Mr. •
isbp is a man of , the people; with no
axes to grind. and with sufficient ability
and independence of ',character to be
something mors than a nitre echo in Par-
liament. Our Conservative -.friends. how-
ever. are not willing to join with the Lib-
erals in supporting his candidature, and
upon them must rest the responsibility for
the bringing on of an election contest.
The report in The Goderich Star 'last
week of the meeting of the Liberal execs i
tive was quite an effort of the imagina
lion. The statement that Mr. Hislop was
selected in 1914 by a convention at which
only twenty persons were present is tow
silly to call for contradiction.
