The solid opposition of Que- bec—on,1y three Unionists were elect- ed in the whole province, and these in English-speaking constituencies --- the vote of the French elements in, several Ontario ridings, backed up by the votes of all those whom the call of patriotism has left cold, were snowed under by the union of Con- servatives and Liberals all over the country. Sir Robert Borden will go back to Ottawa with a majority of at least 51 members, which will be increased when the four deferred .elections are held. Ontario did its share by returning Union supporters in, all but ten rid- ings, and in, at least two of these the men elected as Laurierites—McCoig, of Kent, and Duncan Ross, of West Middlesex, voted against their leader on conscription. But if Ontario did. well, the West rallied to the stand- ard of Unionism in a manner that was remarkable.

SIR ROBERT BORDEN katchewan returned 16 Unionists, Al- berta 12, and British Columbia 10 or 11. The sweep was accompanied by tremendous majorities for the Unionist candidates. In, the Western cities Laurier candidates fell thou- sands of votes short, Centre Winni- peg supported Union to the tune of a 13,000 majority, a record that, in view of the size of the constituencies compares well with North Toronto's 14,00 majority to Sir George Foster. Only in the Maritime Provinces did Laurier candidates make anything like a showing. In Prince Edward Island they carried three seats and in Nova Scotia won eight, compared with six won by Unionists. The Nova Scotia final return will prob- ably the two be an even break, since t Halifax seats for which the election has been deferred are conceded to the Unionists. In New Brunswick the Unionists have a margin of two ".o throe seats. Quebec did all that Sir Wilfrid ,aurier expected of it. In fact, the Unionists won a seat less than they expected, but the two English-speak- ing Ministers, Hon. J. C. Doherty and Hon. C. C. Ballantyne, got hrough, as did Sir Herbert Ames. )utside of Montreal, however, not a iionist was elected, both lion. Mr. Nordin and 'Hon. Albert Sevigny b.e- zkg defeated. It was a significant fact that with :re or two exceptions, the ridings tat Laurer carried hi Ontario had ither a strong German or French lenient, After the organized insult o Sir Robert Borden at Kitchener it 'aa evident where the pro -firman ie meat in North Waterloo ileo st «nd the big majority rolled up for tiler, the Laurier candidate, was no urpriso.

The deceased was a native of Scotland and emigrated to this country when a boy and has resided in Culross continuously for over sixty years, enduring all the hardships of early pioneer life, Over forty years a go he was united in marriage to his now bereft partner. They raised a large family of eleven all of whom are living but one and were around his bedside to the last, His family are Mrs Roth, Andrew, Mrs. McKenzie, Mrs. Young, John, Mrs. Fitzpatrick, Mrs. Cronin, Genevieve, Frank and Sadie at home. The funeral was held on Saturday to Teeswater Roman Catholic cemetery where the last tribute of respect was paid. The deceased was held in high esteem by all who knew him and a very large funer- al marked the sympathy that is extended to the bereaved family.

Mr, James Bowman, Unionist Candi- date in North Huron, went "over the top" when he defeated his opponent Mr. Archie Hislop by the overwhelming majority of 1,429. North Huron electors stated in no uncertain manner that they stood loyal to the boys in the trenches and would not vote for Laurier or anyone who would riot send reinforcements to the boys at the front. The following are the majorities in the different parts of the riding: Bowman Hislop Brussels 45 Wingham 226 Blyth 92 Wroxeter 34 East Wawanosh 8 West Wawanosh 88 Goderich 420 Ashfield 103 Turnberry 56 275 ANN WELSH Red Cross that their son, Walter E is Grey getting better and will soon be going to Colborne Convalescent home Their son, Robert, Morris is also getting along very well, and is up again.

There passed away in Toronto on Tuesday morning, a former very highly re. , spected resident of this district in the person of Ann Welsh, relict of the late Wm. Kew, in her 81st year. The family resided in Whitechurch where Mr. Kew • was G. T R. station agent for thirty-five, years, and where they were among the most respected of families, Deceased was born in Yarmouth, Eng- land and is survived by six daughters and three sons viz; Mrs. Bahl, of Wooster, Ohio; Mrs. Skelding, Shelborne; Mrs. Cadwallader, Toronto; Mrs. Walkom, Sault Ste. Marie; Mrs Wm. Fields, Wing - ham and Mrs. Fleming, Fergus; William of Niagara Falls; Dr. Arthur, of Pittsburg, and Thomas of Wingham. In religion she was a devout christian and member of the Methodist church Rev E. F Arm- strong, will conduct the funeral services which will be held on Thursday afternoon from the residence of her daughter, Mrs. William Fields. Interment will take place in Wingham cemetery. Memorial Services at Mitchell Mr. H. A. Mutton spent the week -end with relatives in Mitchell. He attended the memorial services, held in the Metho- dist church in honor of his brother, Sergt. A. R. Mutton, who paid the supreme sac- rifice at Passion Dale. The services were very impressive and were conducted by Rev. Mr. Langford. Lieut Fuller a form- er pal of Roy, gave a brief account of their comradeship in the trenches. Lieut. Col. Young also assisted in the services. . Shoulder Dislocated Friends of Pte. Frank Galbraith will regret to learn that he is in a Hospital in Birmingham, England, suffering from a dislocated shoulder. While letting down the tail -board of his lorry, the man at the top loosened the last chain, and with- out warning the heavy back fell on Frank, We all hope to hear of his speedy recov- ery. Hura.a Skating Rink The opening of the Huron Skating Rink was postponed from Tuesday, December 18th, to Tuesday evening, December 25th (Christmas) if the weather is favorable. The ice was not in condition to use this week owing to the fact that a new rink with as large an area as the Huron Rink, isa little difficult to put into proper con dition. Hot drinks, candy, etc., can be had at the refreshment booth in the rink which will be under the direction of Mr. W. A. Miller. General admission 15 cents. Band in attendance. nd. Mr. German supported con ,;ription, but he was nevertheless trong Laurier partisan. He was re ;arded as unbeatable, but he fell over 500 votes short. The four deferred elections—two 'n Halifax, one in Nelson, Manitooa, and the other in the Yukon—will in- crease [he majority by four, all be- ing regarded as safe Government con- stituencies. The returns from Brit- ish Columbia were, indefinite, but it appeared that only one Laurierite had been elected. In a number of constituencies the vote will be affected by the soldiers' ballots. This is the ease chiefly in Ontario constituencies, where the successful supporters of Sir 'Wilfrid Laurier had small majorities in al- most every case. The khaki vote will probably 'swing several of these to the Government side of the House. One of the surpr'ses of the election was the defeat of Sir Wilfrid in Ot- tawa, where Mr. A. Pl. Fripp won the seat from the apposition leader by a safe majority, Of course Sir Wilfrid also has a seat In Quebec City, but he has usually carried several con- stituencies for his party in former contests. Zion, W. L. M. King was also among the slain, being defeated in North York by J. A. M. Armstrong by 557 ,otos. VOTE BY PROi'IX('I?S. 4 For ONTARIO.. , .. • .. L'r,inn.

A, held' in the parish hall, Lucan, on Mon- day evening, 10th inst. the Rev. Wm. Lowe, formerly rector of St. Paul's church "l 'Ingham, was presented with a purse, containing $120 and the following address: Dear 11,1r Lowe: We, the members of Holy Trinity con- gregation, Lucan, desire to show you in a the sev- 'b wayour appreciation of tan 1 le g en'years of your devoted and successful ministry amongst us.

The ladies were well organized and overlooked no steps to get out the women votes. The men can take many lessons from the enthusiasm and zeal with which they worked. They even had their work so well organized that in a couple of cases they claim that unionist voters were driv- en to the polls by Hislop canvassers. Mr. Dave Lougheed was the first Wing - ham man to poll his vote, and although he had to be pushed into the polling booth on his wheel chair at great inconvenience to himself, he said he would not have a clear conscience if he did not vote to send his 'pals' reinforcements. Mr. H. A. Mutton missed the train at Clinton, but drove to Wingham in order to vote Union. One of his brothers has paid the supreme sacrifice, and another has just returned to the front after leaving the Hospital. Was he bought? Could money buy such men? The returns were received in the Town Hall and Mr. Bowman, the member elect. arrived on the late train from Brussels and thanked the electors for their con- fidence in hien. He said no such majority could have been rolled up in a party fight. The people rose to the height of an issue that transcended partyism. Mr. Morton acted as chairman of the /fleeting. Mr. George Spotton, Mr J. F. Groves and Mr. H B. Elliott spoke briefly. From now on election feuds should be forgotten, Canada is at War. MONO CARD OF THANKS Most of our goods are at pre war prices.

Pulman, No 65437 Sunday morning Dear Mother and all: • — Here I am away down in Indiana beat- ing it as fast as a fast Express can carry me from cold wintry Canada. (Nothing, like being optomistic.) When I wrote you last I was somewhere between Lon- don and Windsor, was I not. Well, we crossed theSt. Clair on the ferry, and I went to sleep during the process, you wouldn't know but that the train was standing still except for a few odd quivers. By the way we left Windsor at 10.30 a.m. and got into Detroit at 9.45 that is going some, eh, you see thetime changes at Detroit. When I woke up this morn- ing we were pulling into La Fayette in Indiana, down among the corn fields, but must go to breakfast now. We have been travelling now all forenoon and have seen, absolutely nothing except corn fields, frozen of course. The order has just carne that we are 'to go out on a route march, so bye bye again. DicatGr, Indiana—Here I am back again feeling much fresher, a little' fresh air does one good. We marched through several of the main streets of this little City and gave the rather dark colored population something real interesting to see, and managed to stir up a little en- thusiam. A few mothers who no doubt have sons overseas shed some tears, fairly large crowds quickly gathered and cheered us, a Salvation Army played some music and the aviator on the corner threw "his hat in the air" and said we looked good to him. So much for Dicator. We are now sailing along at a 40 mile clip between acres, acres and acres of corn studded here and there with mules and very small farm houses. I haven't seen a decent house since it got dark yesterday in Old Ontario. Every second thing you see is a nigger and the rest are mules. We eat like kings in a swell diner, and feel tough from over- eating. eating. Just now we are pulling into St, Louis, over about a anile of sidings, etc. Sometimes we are going right over top of houses or rather habitations, the wildest looking shacks I ever saw, coons. coons and coons living in houses, so far as size is concerned would scarcely hold a coon, but 1 guess we have'nt come to the city yet. Here is the Mississippi just ahead, it looks like a big sewer, a regular mud hole but we are going over a swell long bridge, must be a mile at least. Be- low us are the old fiat bottomed river boats which we read about in Uncle Tom's Cabin. On one we read "Pleasure Boat, cee dance floor."As far as I can „e by a very close passing inspection there are no two boards the same height. The buildings are awfully blackened with smoke, far worse than Toronto many times. We have now left St Louis and art go- ing south besice the Mississippi. The houses are splendrous, you see the Mis- sissippi is a very slow river with extol) lb, lb. tionally low banks, so it floods very easily, the result is the natives build their houses so they will float, they are about 8 feet by 10 feet set upon four posts with a bottom like a flat boat. The roofs are made of reeds and grass and are as green tie a cabbage patch. Every house is sur- rounded by about 15 children all black by nature growing up more like beasts than children. It is getting dark again SO our 4i htsceing is about over.
