EDITORIAL COMMENTS
if there is to be an acclamation in the
North Perth by-election, it will be a
Liberal who will he accorded the vacant
seat in the Legislature. The Liberals
of North Perth left no room for doubt
when in convention at Milverton they
settled this question at the very outset.
The Chairman's query as to whether
they should allow an acclamation was
greeted with an unanimous "no", and
the choice of the delegates was just
as pronounced in the nomination of
Mr. F. Wellington Hay of Listowel.
The election will be held on Monday,
July 10th. The Conservative candidate
is Reeve John A. Makins, of North
Easthope.
The result of the elections in Nova
Scotia on Tuesday of last week was the
return to power by an increased majority
of the Liberal Government of Hon. G.
H. Murray, who has been Premier for
twenty years, and in the House for
twenty-six, while the leader of the
Opposition, Mr. C. E. Tanner, suffered
personal defeat. The Liberal party has
now been thirty-four years in power in
that Province and must have given
pretty good Government. The electors
are well satisfied. In fact the principal
reason urged against it was that it was
too long in office.
