G Anderson, M.P.P. for South Bruce, by R. Vanstene and Alex. McLaughlin, John T. Currie, ol.' East Wawanosh, by Donald Murray and John Smith, John A. McLean, of Wingham, by Harry Johnston and W. J. Henderson. J. G. Murdoch, of Luck- now, by R. B. McGowan and Geo. Webb, Chas. Stewart, Deputy Reeve of Ash - field, by W. A. Wilson and D. 1V1cLean. R, D. Cameron, of Lucknow, by John Gillespie and Joseph Smith. and Lecknow, his borne town placed in West Brine, where the Liberals have a majority of upwards of 1000, Mr. Anderson is living in a towu Viet is as much in North Huron as it is in West Bruce. He was born and lived foi many years in the Township of Ash- field and is more at hOrne is North Huron than he would be in Bruce coun- ty and being forced out of his own rid - ing the Liberals of North Huron have taken the right course in placing him in the field in the strong hope of defeat - ing the Government member, Mr, Mus- grove, who voted for the carving of Bruce county. The Duos feels that in Mr. Anderson the Liberals have a sure winner. The candidate will do his part and judging from the enthusiasm on . , Friday we feel that the i era s will L'b I 11 rally to a man in support of their pope- ar candidate. Mr. Anderson has al- ready started on the work of the cam- paign and be the elections held early or late, North Huron will give a good majority for Liberalism. Let eyery Liberal do his part and the riding can be redeemed. . • 11 , 7 Iflwe# evr w e submit the question to 1 , . . , all discriminating womenas to which is the best woman's shoe a in Canada.
