Fraser, Liberal, a farmer of Morris township was elected in Monday's bye -election for the Legislature by a majority of 1,203. The total vote polled by Mr. Fraser was 3.090, only 139 less than the combined votes of his two oppon- ents. Dr. T. E. Case, who had the Government ersdorsation, came second with 1,887, and Mr. George Spotton, the Independent Conservative, was third with 1,342. The election wag peculiat in the fact that none of the candidates had a platform, and that the successful contestant, Mr. Fraser, held no meeting, whatever, during the en- tire campaign., and all -his efforts were concentrated on personal canvassing. The election of Mr. Fraser was large- ly due to the farmers, who compose a large part of the electorate in the riding, although even in Wingham, the , principal town in. the constituency he polled a very conSiderable vote. With the exception of the west- ern end of the riding, the farmers almoet solidly supported Mr. Fraser. He polled a larger vote in the six • townships than t*Dr. Case and Mr. Spotton together. In his own town- ship of Morris, where, as a member of the Council for seven years, he bad become afvorably known. he received hearty endersation, polling 520 votes. West Wawanosh, in which Dungannon, Dr, eased home town, is located, and Ashfield, the adjoining township, polled large votes for the Government candidate. -Many Liberals in those two town- ships supported Dr. Case on per- sonal grounds. The Independent Conservative candidate, Mr. Spotton, polled .his largest vote in Wingliam. This was ae expected, as he had lived there for the last fifteen years, has been Mayor twice, and at present owns a business college. Mr. Spotton stumped the riding from one end to the other many times in the last few years for the Conservatives, and he was depending to a large extent on this acquaintanceship to elect him. At two pulls in Ashfield town- ship Mr. Spotton failed to get a sin- gle vote. Mr. Fraser, who is Reeve of the Mortis Council, has been active in farmers work for a number of years. His appeal during the contest ha' • been to the agricultural section of the • community. For the last four years he has been engaged in Farmers' In- stitute work. Mr. Fraser is a quiet, - reserved roan. He, was born on the farm on which he now resides. In 'his canvassing appeals the one thing which Mr. Fraser laid stress on was that if elected. he would do all in his wer to bring pressure te bear on V.e.• Govertinient to eecure a greater eeeelity in the rate e of the Hydro fearer Co:emission in the Bruce Peninsula, as conipared with thiae lenee in the Niagara district. ,Mr. Fraser interprete the :support the farmers lieve en him he eampaign aa en evidence that eta. ere dissatisfied with the eta - I' the Go% ez ailiente, both Pro-- a-a:al and l-tderal, to the fanners • the htat six Or ae‘ en years.

In fact the ordinary cus- tomer is very liable to demand that a light color he dyed over a darker one and to be somewhat skeptical of the particular dyer's abil- ity when she is told that it can't be done. ,, "The following information win be of some help to you in deciding what color to have your garments dyed, "Goods containing yellow, such is brown, tan or orange should be dyed dark brown, dark green, plum or black. 'They do not dye good •bine. "Blue, gray, and taupe, take dark blue, red, burgundy, plum, green or;black. Faded gray or taupe does not cover well in darker shade of same color and should be made one of the above colors, or a dark brown. Blue will not dye brown, nor brown blue. 14 "Corduroys do not, as a rule, make nice black, but do make nice coif*. Checked garments should never be dyed black, but can be made dark blue, green or brown. 'Hard woven goods that are faded do not cover well in any color but: black, Soft- materials such as, velours, when not too badly faded, can be covered in one of the darker shade's. "Made over garxnents, that have contained pleats, if faded, must always be dyed black. White serges that are sunburned can- only be dyed black. "Buttons,buckles and fancy trimmings should always be removed. It is also advisable to let out hems of sleeves and skirts to provide for shrinkage, which sometimes occurs. No dyer can keep goods from shrinking, if they .are inclined to do so, no matter how careful he is in dyeing. "Don't have cottons, shoddy or loaded silk dyed -they are not worth it: All goods taken for dyeing are accepted only at owner's risk. We are as careful as it is possible to be and when goods break or tear from cause beyond our control, we canna accept responsibility."
