O. as a political force for generations hejpce. That opinion applies also to any part which may be designated as a. succes- sor ucces sor to the old Drury forces. With the third party eliminated from political donsideration in On- tario the Liberal party again looks as the single political bulwark against Conservatism as represented by Hon. G. Howard Ferguson, or any other party leader, The oetlook is for a general flocking to the Liberal ban- ner of former U. F. O. supporters who, honestly supported that organ- ization in the belief that it was in the best interests of the province that it should govern. W. E. N. Sinclair, K.C., Liberal leader, has stated at Oshawa and elsewhere that the door of the Lib- eral partyis wide open to receive all those who are opposed to Toryism. The Liberal party platform, he has said, is broad enough and big enough to contain all those, whcediffering to a degree on minor matters of policy, agree on the "general principles of Government as propounded by Liberal leaders sink:e Confederation. The Legislature itself is expecting a defection from U. F. O. ranks to the Liberals. A few of the present U. F. 0.'s or Progressives who were formerly Conservatives might con- ceivably return to their party fold. But the larger exodus is expected to be in the direction of Liberal benches, and so far as anyone can ay at the present time it is probable they will be welcomed behind the Liberal lead- er to present a united loyal opposi- tion to His Majesty's government. If there are no open defections from U.F.O. benches this session it will be interesting to watch the course of events at the heralded "Progressive" convention this summer. According to all pre -session appearances, Hon. E. C. Drury was then to resume the mantale of leadership. If the idea of a convention has not now been abandoned that will be a real teat of the political 3ituatiori in view of this session's startling developments. ?ECIAL SALE Mem's Suits Regular Value up to $2 To Clear at Just when a man is thinking of his New Spring Suit comes this wonderful opportunity.
