There is absolutely no foundation for such a report. Mr. McMillan was the unanimous choice of the Liberal convention held at Hensel' on September 13Th last, and he is in the contest to stay- There is nu manner of doubt but that both the other candidates would like to see him adopt smelt a course, but with prospects of victory becoming brighter every day, why should he? Moreover, he is not the quitting kind. Parliament has been dissolved, but beyond the statement of Mr. Meighen that the elections would be held the first week in December, no definite date has been aet for the elections. The sooner the date is selected the beater it will be for the business of • the country. This, however, will have very little weight with Mr. Meighen. tilt sell leave alettar of rein* for' vi0tory for the Liberal ddeftain. At any rate. the seat is not boat nlrt?l aB the votes are counted on election vlay, and with a determined trent being put up by the Liberal organisation inthe constituency there are very good pro- spects tar a Liberal viletory. Prince County (P. E. I.) Liberals were also anxious to have Mr. King as their candidate and • promised a walkover if the Leader ould consent to be the candidate there. Mr. King, however, consulted with the' National Liberal Committee and it was decid- ed to have the Leader stand io North York where he had announced his candidature. A strong and influen- tial deputation from Prince •County, had come to Ottawa at their own expense to ask Mr. King to ]un there but when his decision to run in North York was announced, they were the first to send a telegram of congratula- tions. .Another story which the govern- ment propagandists have bad to swallow was that of the split among Quebec Liberate. According to their views, freely expressed through the Government organs, there was to be a wholesale breach among the Que- bec Liberals, with Sir Loaner Gouin, lion. R. Lemeeux and a number of ethers breaking away from the pres- ent party. The absurdity of such reports was shown when at the Lemieux anniversary banquet in Mon- treal, both Sir Lerner Gouin and Mr. Lemieux announced, without any hes- itation esitation or equivocation that they were members of the Liberal party, proud to inchide themselves as such under the leadership of the roan who had shown himself so capable of con- ducting the affairs of the country. And then, to make the cup of the eovernuxmt organs more bitter still, the Deputy Speaker of the House, George Boivin, announced at Sher- brrrfCe Oil. all the reports of his ininine or considering joining the 'leighen government, had been so much poppycock. The fact that he eels deputy speaker of the ifauae, had of course, prevented Mr. Boivin from making any annoumements until the prime Minister announced dissolu- tion and re -organized his cabinet in preparation for an election, but as sem as Mr. Boivin could speak he made it abundantly clear that he was a Mackenzie Ring Liberal, as are all Liberals to -day, and that he 'was in the fight to victory under Mr. King's i adership. At the Conservative convention, held in Hensall on Saturday last, Mr. J. J. Merner was unanimously elected to represent that party at the } corning elections. Mr, Merner has represented the South Riding of Huron for the past two terms. Mr. ti. George Spotten, of Wingham, will be the Conservative candidate in North ' Huron. PARLIAMENTARY LEITER If there was any doubt as to the reception awaiting Hon. W. L. Mac- kenzie King and his Liberal candi- dates throughout the Dominion, that dembt nmst have been dispelled by the splenoid spontaneous we0.rome given to Mr. King and accompany- ing spealkers in all the cities which he has visited since firing the open- ing gun of his campaign in tire To- ronto mee%tng which was held in the constituency of West York. At To- - ro to the Ravine Rink was crowded pdi'h persons anxious to hear Mr. king and Mr. Fielding discuss the iinportant questions of the day. Again at Montreal, two days later, an immense crowd gathered in the Arena rink to hear Mr. King, Sir Lower Gouin, Hon. R. Lomioux, Premier Taschereau and others up- held the principles of Liberalism. At Sherbrooke, the next evening, thous- ands of citizens stood on the side- walks to cheer the Liberal leader as he drove in an automobile at the head of a long parade, from the sta- tion to His Majesty's theatre which was packed to the doors by electors who were anxious to hear Mr. King, Dr. Boland, George Boivin and other speakers. Perhaps the finest demonstrations of public interest in Liberalism were given when the Liberal Leader reach- ed Amherst, N. S., and Truro on Saturday evening. Although only notified at noon that Mr. King would pass through the city, the citizens of both cities had arranged a demonstra- tion in his honor. Headed by a brass band, nearly two thousand persons had gathered at the stations and on the arrival of the train they demand- ed that Mr. King use the few mom- ents available, while the train stood in the station, to address them. In each city Mr. King delivered a splen- did fighting speech, being cheered to the echo at its conclusion. 'Phe Liberal Leader was loudly cheered as he told of the fight made by the Liberal Opposition in the House ' and out of it to secure for the peo- ple their rights from an autocratic , government. Not satisfied with hold- ing off the election until a tune suit- , able to its own ends, the government took a new step in autocracy by an - bouncing through the Prime Minister that there world be clissolution and then refusing to give the people in- formation as to the date of the elec- tion until it was perfectly ready ta leo so. That the people had a right to that information mattered not to the. Prime Minister, who paid no at- tention to the fact that business was being held up while he made hie trio to the West. Until dissolution was announced and the merchants and Millers knew the date of the election, there would inevitably be restricted business, Mr. King showed his audi- ence, but such things as that made .-t no difference to Mr. Meighen. The Government Propaganda artist :•- who assured his readers that the lead- er of the Liberal party had made up bis mind to run away from a cam- paign in North York has had a hard time squaring his arguments this week. Mr. King announced in Mon- treal that he was a candidate in North Yor9c and Was in the fight to win.

In the suc- ceeding epeeelies, J• J: Caldwell, Mrs.t Gleam, John Levert, G. W. L.ytofl and Ed. Wolper announced with- drawal., The first ballot was taken on the names of Mr. Black, F. Cough- lin, E. Hktrdan.an, W. G. Medd, Robt, J. McMillan, Ed. Pooley, J. N. Rat- cliffe, W. D, Sanders, J, • H. Scott, William Turnbull and George Turn- bull. The secmd contained the names of Means. Black, Medd, Ratcliffe, Scott and Turnbull. After which Ratcliffe and Turnbull dropped out. A curious feature of the five minute addresses was the introduction by several speakers of references to prohibition as an issue. Ed. Wainer of Ray, the final speaker, used his five minutes to protest. "The temperance question was dis- cussed when we voted on it," he said, "and no man has a right to come and make any such statements here to- day. (Applause). I bel ievaas that man is ag office seeker and fleshing else" (Applause). Mr. Walper added: "Have an hon- est man to start off with, and we don't need any recall." William Turnbull reported that "half the fine farms that used to be around Henaall and Exeter are now in grass, and half the remainder are hotbeds of noxious weeds." The cause of this being "that when the Na- tional Policy was introduced forty- three years ago, some slick men came tc our fathers and mothers and told them that this country needed in- dustries, and that we had to support them for a while." Robert J. McMillan, of Seaforth, who said that "Mr. Morrison gener- ally always sent me to the by-elec- tions all over the country," declared that he would pass a law that would not allow a lobbyist around Parlia- ment in any shape or form. Several speakers criticized the increase of Parliamentary indemnity, and George Turnbull expressed the opinion that a farmer member should bring back part of his earnings and distribute it among the clubs. A resolution from Varna club vig- crously championed by Frank Welsh, between taking of the ballots, called for a weekly report by the federal member -elect direct to all the clubs of his constituency reviewing legisla- tion passed and proposed and stating how he voted, Johnston, M.P.+P., Norfolk, who later delivered an ad- dress, was asked for an opinion on this proposal, and after describing the routine of a conscientious M. P., which he said required him to rise at 6 and retire at 3 o'clock next morn ing, declared the extra work involved by such a report to be impossible. A committee was appointed and brought in an amendment calling for 'a report from the member to the riding exe- tive 'from time to time," but eventu- ally the motion was tabled until the annual meeting of the South 'Herron IS. F. 0. on November 1st. -London Free Press. Mr. Boivin, in bis Sherbrodke speech, showed the folly of the Prime Minister's tariff claims. The. Pieru- ier said Mr. Boivin had tried to make the people believe that the Liberals were Free Traders. in the next breath he claimed that the Conserva- tive party, when it took office in 1911, had reduced the tariff as it was left by the Liberals. "If the Liberals are Free Traders, as the Prime Minister claims. how on earth could the Con- servatives make reductions in a Lib- eral tariff, when Free Trade mean,, no tariff?" Mr. Boivin ;eked. The Liberal Leader this week con- tinues his tour of the Maiitime Prov- inces, addressing meetings in all the principle cities and having the as- sistance of such speakers as Premier G. H. Murray, D. D. McKenzie, Hare H. S. Beland, Ernest Lapointe, Wil- liam Duff, Dr. W. Chisholm and others. The liberal party ,are being given splendid receptions in all cities and overflow meetings seem likely to be the order of the day or evening. One thing has become increasingly apparent as Mr. King's tour con- tinues, and that is that the people of Canada are heartily sick of the Meighen autocratic despotism and de- mand a change to Liberal govern- ment, in order to reduce the national debt, ^ensure economy, and bring down the cost of living, which affects every man, woman and child in the Do- minion. THE U. F. O. CONVENTION The United Farmers of South Huron selected a federal candidate at Hensel' on Thursday afternoon of last week from a list which in the preliminary state numbered twenty- five names. The final vote was be- tween William Black, of Seaforth, U. F. 0. Director and president of the political association, and 3. H. Scott, of Hallett Township. Mr. Scott fav- ors "broadening out." Mr. Black in- clines to the Morrison school, Mr. Scott got 126 votes, Mr. Black 128, and the latter was therefore declar- ed the choice of the convention. Mr. Black's views on the federal situation were expressed thus: - "Premier Meighen has thrown down the gauntlet and gone to the country on the tariff issue, but in my humble opinion the tariff has nothing to do with the election. The issue is the record of the government during the past ten years. The only classes not protected by the tariff are the pro- ducers end consumers, and we must have tariff revision." Mr. Scott, in a vigorous address, pointed out that while the U. F. 0. was confined to farmers, "the lwlit- ical association is of somewhat big- ger nature. An invitation has been issued to all our citizens to become members of our association. Our motto being to give 'equal opportun- ity to all and special privileges to none: There is no reason why any c;tizen, whether he has worked in the interest of the association before or not, should not be eligible for nomina- tion." As a matter of fact all municipal- ities of the riding were represented in 258 deiegates present, and from urban sub -divisions carne a number who are not members of the U. F- 0. Several who are not farriers went to the ballot for candidate- W. G. Medd, dairyman of Flxeter, was third in the voting.

The deceased had gradtated from the Seaforth Collegiate and was waiting until she was old enough to 'enter Normal.etchool, when she was taken ill with Bright's disease. She had been taking, treatment with Dr. Ward, of London, for some time and was, apparently, much improved in health, when err Wednesday last she was taken suddenly worse and passed away the following day, She was of a quiet, but loving disposition and her death will be a sad loss to the father, .brother and sister. The funeral was held from ler late home on Saturday, interment being made in Union cem- etery, Hensel'. HIBBERT The School Fair. -On .Monday af- ternoon of last week the scholars of the schools in Hibbert held their an- r.ual school fair at Staffs. The weather was all that could be desired and the attendance this year 'was larger than any previous year, there being about one thousand spectators present. The exhibit of calves, do•1ts, pigs and chickens was splendid. The animals were all in first class condi- tion and at times it was difficult to pick out the best animal to award the prize. Mr. C. McPhail, the dis- trict representative, assisted by Mr. A. B. Cockbourne and the president, Mr. Robert Norgis, judged the live stock and Mr. MoPbail gave reasons for their choice of the prize winning animal. The judging of roots and vegetables was nb small job, the entries for .the roots being the larg- est in the history of the school fair. Mr- McPhail' told the boys and girls how to select roots for exhibition pur- poses and reminded them that it was not always the largest root that took the ptiee, The judging of the live stock and poultryroots and vege- tables folibwedl 'by 1:he ahiert talk given 'by Mr. McPhail was instruc- tive 'and edu'catlonal to both young and old: Sonne mengolds and turnips that took first prize at local fairs could get only third prize at the school fair. The only thing to mar the afternoon's enjoyment was the poor building in which to exhibit the products of the boys and girls and proper grounds for the sports. A splendid prograrmme of sports, drills, addresses, etc., were carried out and are as follows: Boys' and girls' race 8 years and under, Norman Park, Clarence Looby, Mary O'rconnor; boys' race, 12 years and under, G. McKtlig, J. Campbell, H. Hlarburn; Girls' race 12 years and under, Annie Delaney, A. Bunce, V. Feeney; bays' race 15 years and under, Wilson Brint- nell, G. McKaies, P.

F. 0., Mr. Scott, of Hullett, com- ing very close in the final ballot. Mr. Black, who resides near Seaforth, was made the unanimous choice of the convention. The town hall was liter- ally packed on Thursday. On Sat- urday last, at the Conservative con- vention, Mr. J. J.

At both of these conventions, as we have said, the attendance was very large and a number pf addresses were 'given by these proposed as members, the num- ber of names in the U. F. 0. being over fifteen and nearly as many ih the Conservative convention, but there was this difference, that at the Conservative one, no balloting. was done, Mr. Merner being the choice of the convention.
