THURSDAY. DEC 5, 1111,
NORTH HURON.
The North Huron election on Monday
last gave unmistakable evidence that the
Liberal party in that ridit,g is awake and
alert 1t showed, too, as did the Mani
toulin election a few weeks ago. that the
people are in a protesting mood and are
not satisfied with the existing political
'conditions. Government journals en-
deavor to soften the blow by pointing out
that Mr. Fraser did not poll a majority of
the votes. On the other hand, it may
with equal truth be said that the sup-
porters of the Government candidate
were greatly in the minority. polling Tess
than one-third of the total vote cast. Mr.
Spotton attacked the Government more
vehemently than dtd_the Liberal candi-
date.
There are some indications that the
farmers are learning what they can do
when they stick together, but in Mon-
day's election the towns and villages also
gave Mr. Fraser a surprisingly large vote.
Dr. Case, though defeated. stands as
high as ever in:the estimation of his fel-
low -cit tens.. _ The..people of his own
neighborhood gave him a vote of which
he may well be proud. and though the
Conservative political machine in North
Huron received a severe jolt it is fully and
frankly recognized that Dr. Case took an
honorable part throughout. Indeed, it
was with difficulty that he was induced to
become a candidate at all.
Besides declaring his, adhesion to the
platform of the united Farmers of On-
tario. Mr. Fraser in his campaign took a
stand in favor of a more equitable schedule
of Hydro power rates than that now in
effect. This question is bound to come to
the front. as the municipalities in this
part of the Province are awakening to a
sense of the handicap under which they I
labor with respect to power rates wder
present conditions.

similar gatherings in other parts of the

quet to Hon. Robert Rogers gave old-
line Tories an opportunity to get together.
Mr Rogers appears to pose as the leader
of, the Conservative part;, as distin-
guished from the Conservative Unionists.
His speech was a glorification of the old
"N. P." of Sir John Macdonald. which is

EDITORIAL NOTES.
Perhaps sone people, after looking
over the returns from North Huron this
week, will begin to rea'ize that the
Federal election of a year ago was not a
true test of public opinion. The election
of December. 1917. was decided on a
"loaded" voters' list. When a fair
i voters' hat is used the results are vastly
The full measure of honest market quality
and value is put into every genuine packet,
with the selling price on each.

UNLESS you are an expert; you cannot judge t::e quzzlit}' cf a shoe
by looking at it. It is possible to take most of the wearing quali-
ties out without changing its appearance. Shoes are bought
largely upon faith in the integrity of dealer and manufacturer.
In these clays of high -price levels, your confidence should be well
placed. Go to a reliable dealer, whose judgment you can trust. Get his
candid advice as to values. Buy for the best service at the price which
you wish.to pay.
Look for the Manufacturer's trade -mark on the shoes you buy. It
is a sign that the manufacturer himself has confidence in the shoes, and
that they are worthy of your confidence. A responsible manufacturer
will not jeopardize his reputation by placing his business signature
upon an unworthy product.
Buy shoes of a brand you know, from a dealer whom you know.
Buy for service rather than merely for appearance. Thus you may be
assured of Quality Shoes at Fair Prices.
A.H.M. War -ride Selections offer Slpsolal .Senesce V.tne
