EDITORAL NOTES. Vote for Kerr, the Liberal candidate in North Huron. Help strengthen the Opposition in the Legislature by voting for W. H. Kerr. W. H. Kerr will make a good repre- sentative for North Huron, Vote for him on the llth of December. Sitting snugly in his office in the Parliament buildings, Sir James Whit- ney may think a campaign in Novem- ber quite the proper thing, but the party workers who have to travel through disagreeable weather have a somewhat different view. It is worth noting that in seven years the Whitney Government has utterly failed to disclose any act of maladministration on the part of the former Liberal Government. "Just Iet us in," they said in 1905, "and we will go through the records and show up the wicked things the Grits hare been doing in the last thirty rears." They got in, they have the records, but not a single scandal have they dis- covered, Some of the old Liberal Gov- ernment's supporters cut things loose at election times; but the Government itself was straight.—Goderich Signal. THE LIBERAL PLATFORM. N. W. Rowell, the new Liberal lead= eer, has laid down a platform upon which all progressive men may stand, no matter what party they have fol- lowed hitherto. The principal planks are: Publie ownership and operation of public utilities, including telephenes and water powers.

The Seaforth Expositor in referring to Mr. W. H. Kerr, the Liberal eandi- date in North Huron says: —Mr. Kerr and Mr, Musgrove will make a strong team, but we have no hesitation in saying that both politically and person- ally kir. Kerr is the better man of the tyro. Aside from his natural ability as a speaker and his personal qualities, his long municipal experience eminent- ly qualifies him for a useful member of the Ontario Legislature. He is a man! built a good deal after the pattern of the new Liberalleader. Notwithstand- ing the fact, therefore, that North Huron has been gerrrymandered in the Conservative interests, if the lovers of good and progressive Government rally around Mr. Kerr and work for him as they should do there are very good prospects for his election. The Goderich Signal says:—The Libe- rals of North Huron have nominated Mr. W, H, Kerr, proprietor of The Brussels Post, as their candidate for the Legislature. It is a good selection. Mr. Kerr has worked hard in the in- terests of the public in various capaci- ties for many years, and has well earn- ed the honor of a seat in parliament. He is a man of progressive tendencies and will be an able exponent ,of the Liberal policies. There is another reason why he should receive the suffrages of the peo- ple of North Huron. It will be remem- bered that before the redistribution of the Huron seats by the Whitney Gov- ernment, Mr. Kerr was named as the Liberal candidate for East Huron, Mr. Proudfoot was the nominee for West Huron. The Whitney Govern- ment carved the constituencies in limb way as to plate the two candidates in ne riding (Centre Huron), and Mr. roudfoat being selected for the new onstituency Mr. Kerr stepped aside, the victim of a most unjustifiable gerry ander. But for that gerrymander it altogether likely that Mr. Kerr, aid ot Mr. Musgrove, would have sat in he Legislature during the term that is osing. Mr. Kerr, therefore, should ot suffer in his candidature in North uron because he is not a resident of e riding. On the contrary, he should ave the active support of every inde- ndent voter in the constituency as a buke to the tattles by which he Was 1908 den ^out of an opportunity of presenting his fellow -electors in the gislature. Mr. Kerr is well known and highly teemed in the eastern portion of the ing of North Huron. The western rtion also should rally strongly to his e with the staunch support which e Liberals of Ashfield and the Wawa- she s are capable of giving. The Liberals North Huron are to congratulated upon having so worthy andidate, and if he secures the sup-. t which he deserves the riding will fortunate in having hire as its re- sentative. a 0 P c is n t n th h pe re in re Le e3 rid po sid th no be ac per be pre Perhaps Sir ,fames Whitney is the nearest approach to a genuine example of old-fashioned Toryism to be found in the whole country to -day. In saying this there is no desire to reflect in any way either upon his character or abil- ity as a party leader. Onto accept Mr... Whitney's Y,s oint of it is enough to accept Mr. Whitney. He ss consistent in his Toryism, he is coura gcous, he ie frank and plain -spoken. --- i Woodstock Sentinel -Review, • TUE WINGIIAN TIM t..tvtn wrooxc 1♦fi $.101CHYrS.
