WHY LAURIER WILL WAIT
As you sit in the gallery and gaze
on his Majesty's loyal Opposition there
eome to you some of the reasons why
It might be called "The- Silent Min-
ority.' For the tidal waves that
washed the Unioa Government into
power left a number of mighty voices
stranded on the reefs and, shoals with

t's
some of his early political astiteness
to his friend Archie McCoig of Kent.
Archie does not pretend to states-
manship but he knows 'Kent County,
what Kent County wants, and how to
get votes of the Kent County electors.
He had a tough proposition on his
hands at the last election for in his
riding are a sizable French vote that
hated conscription, -a worth -while ne-
gro vote that feared conscription and
a big Scotch -vote that wanted ite win
the war and didn't care how. Archie's
job was to retain all three if he Was
to be elected. He did it. For he talk-
ed Kent County, and down with the
profiteers, and did not hang Laurier's
picture in his committee room win-
dows till after the endorsations had
been handed out without the Borden
brand appearing on either himself or
hfl opponent. As he had previously
voted against the referendum and for
the M.S.A. he was armored at all
points and came through with dying
colors. Archie's \friends tell him he
wears a horseshoe- on every corner
but privately they admit he has the
ability to take advantage of every
lucky turn of the wheel. Also his
speeches in the House contain a lot of
hard cornmen sense. He "neer belong
to the clase called rural politiciaes
but he is at the head of his . cities
and a "'inch more valuable man to his
country than many of our near -states-
men,
Of another very distinct clime is.
Lucien Cannon of Dorchester -that
pale, dark, slight, rather clevealoek-
ing young *hap. He is the most strike
ing of a group of young Freach-Can-
adians who replaced 'he Nationalists
at the last election. Others of the
group who give promise are leathers"-
bault of Chambly-Vereheres and Vien
of Lothiniere. Cannon is a fiery ora-
tor, though he stumbles as yet whezt

Vien is a lawyer and a major of mi-
litia, who twice volunteeced to go over -
`seas. That qualifies him for military
fidence anent. the good qualities of
those island potatoes one night and
not a member but went home hungry.
Also he talks with much earnestness
as well as considerable humor -oh

Then there is Turgeon of Glouces-

an Acadian -not a French-Canadian
mark tou-and his speciality is a
Speech . of , more than average
length tricked into every debate and
,in which his hands do a large pert of
the talking.
That rather, ponderous looking per-
son' too is Davy Lafontaine of Mon-
treal, who holds the long distance
talking championship of the House. He
won it in the nevi' debate when he
kept going' anywhere from 5 to. 12
hours according to the memory of:the
man who bells. you the story. Yes,
that sour -visaged man is Frank Mc -
Rea of Sherbrooke. His specialty is

tier as to how many more Millions
he -could make if publishers amt. -Gov-
ernment did not combine to tob the
poor struggling owners. of pulp limits.
And that young fellow with the crip-
pled arai is "Chubby" Powers, the
crack Quebec hockey player. He got
a German bullet in that arm - while
'fignting in Picardy and his face weal*
a curious gtin when Rome Saperheeked

as chief Opposition whip and is doing
quite nicely in both capacities., Both
parties say that James Robb is a de-
cent fellow slid, as hot)* have consid-

Moreover he -carries some ability ha a
• quiet and enassurning, way, and if he
does not prove 'too :valuable in his pre-
sent position, may go further up in
the fat days every Liberal feels in his
heart are close at hand.
There you have seine of the out-
standing- personalities in that rather,
mixed assemblage known as the La,ur-
ier Oppoeibion. Can Sir Wilfrid con-
trol them ? He can, for the incentive
• is great. When he finally paves up
