The Federal Nomination was held in Clinton on Monday from 12 to 2 p m, At that hour the returning officer de- clared J, J, Merrier of Hay Township and Thomas Me1VLilian of Hullet as the candidates. He thou prueeeded to oall upou the speakers. Mr. Brydone of Clinton tools the platform ford urged the need of taking up the Victory Loan He showed how all money was only good as such because the Government guaranteed it, 1f we lost this war, our property and money would he worthless to us. England could not buy our goods and pay cash for them. 1f wo are to sell our goods to Ilingland.-we must supply money to pay for those geode now and England will pay Ile back later, Mr J,J, Merrier said the times were critical, The Governrnent had done the best it could with the result that Canada stood higher to -day than ever More in the eyes of the nations. Ho regretted to say. that this election nes neueseary, We had it famed upon us He was glad to support to support the Union Government, He hoped all would eliminate politics from this *flee ton, The only question now was would we send help to the boys or leave them to fight alone:" Thos. McMillan said he etoo'd for the further prosecution of the war and if elected ho would reserve for himself the liberty of studying all questions on their merits and supporting what was for the good of the country. He said he would support Sir Wilfrid Laurier as his leader. In regard to the Milit- ary Service Act, It was now on the Statute book• The tribunals would have finished their work and the men would all be soldiers before the end of February, the earliest on which the new parliament could meet. He said the Government had allowed the profiteers to fill their pockets and he claimed the income _ tax was not heavy enough on the inoomes of the rich; 11 they did right the whole in- come should be takeu, He said the Franchise Aot was the most infamous Act that was ever placed on the Statute Book It trampled underfoot the free- dom of the people. It disfranchised a large number of women and gave the vote -to those who happened to• have relatives at the front. Thou it took tbe vote from a large written of the people, simply because their parents had beau born in the enemy's country. The Government was afraid of these people and would not let them vote, It was only font weeks from polling clay and yet no ,one know who would have the vote as the enumerators had not done work, Mr. W, H. Benuett lately member. for Simons but now a senator wee the next speaker. He is a rattling fine speaker, full of his subject and ready in repartee and kept the audience in good humour, He said the only question of the election was whether our heroes would or would not be supported, There is at Ottawa a Union Govern- ment pledged to support our boys. Mr. McMillian was notwillin g to give up his political prejudices and support men like Mr, Rowell of his own party He asked if men could not forget party when their boys are shedding their blood. Borden and Rowell have been at the front, They saw how Conser- vative and Liberal boys fought shoulder to shoulder, and were willing to forget everything else and support them. Why couldn't Mr, McMillan and his friends join hands with theta? Mr McMillian in the face of the war could talk about tariffs, but he was not going to insult that audience by talking to r riff at this time of suffering, Votes had not been taken away from any woman in Canada because they never had them. He did not believe any of the women who sat and knit socks for the boys would wish to take the right to vote away from the women who were weeping for a son, a bueband or a brother who had died at the front. He believed these women would rejoice to see them voting. Then Mr, Mc- Millan was hard on the profiteers, Did he mean the farmers? They were making more money than ever before. Would Mr, McMillan take their hard earned money away? If consistent he would. He showed the large sumo the larger companies were (breed to pay un der the present system and asked the audience to vote intelligently on the vie It is your opportunity, as largely as your means TORY LOANS. your will priviledge and your imperative duty to invest How, in the forthcoming CANADIAN; 11IC- The more fervently we desire peace, a righteous peace that will endure, a peace that will safeguard the rights of all, the greater should be our re- sponse.'

He: held; ,that the Tory Party claimed alit ,the Loyalty; but there was no issue between the two parties about winning the war He said the Service Act was the law of the land now and no odds what party was in power they could not change it. If Sir Wilfred were opposed to coneoript- ion, that was his right. It was a froe country, It was quite time for an elect ion, The present Government had no mandate tromftholpeople.I,He told how the Government had taken up Bourassa and caused alllthe,tronble in Quebec, Bourassa did notjwant!hslp sent to the soldiers. He also• charged Sir Robert Bordeu with stopping enlistment last year, Mr Merrier, who only spoke for ten minutes attire start was given ten min- utes to reply. He said it was not fair to say that Sir Robert Borden had stop pod reorniting. SirlRobert had denied the charge on the tlonr of the House. He was heart and soul with the boys at the front and had offered to resign if anyoue wished to take hie place. Mr McMillan was still talking of tariff's, the Conservatives had made more re- dactions in six years than the Liberals did in sixteen, He said if elected Ile would do in the future as in the past, his best for the country.
