THOMAS McMILLAN
The Moles of West Huron Liberals
ex -Reeve Thotnas McMillan, of Hul-
lett township, was the uliaohnous
choice of West Fluent' Liberals at a
puttying convention held at Goderich
on Monday.
Mr. McMillan gave &splendid speech
dealing mainly with the navy issue
and emphatically denouncing the Bor-
den contribution expedient. He was
followed by Hugh Guthrie, K. 0., the
eloquent member for SouthWelling-
ton in the House of Commons, who
traced the Borden positiou on naval
defence in all its twietings and incon-
sistencies. So strong, said he, was
the feeling against the Borden propos-
als among the Liberals at Ottawa that
it was intended to oppose them
by every constitotional means and
perhaps in the course of a few weeks
Me. Borden might see the wisdom of
taking the Opposition's challenge and
submitting the question to the peo-
ple.
By a standing vote followed by
ringing sheers, the convention passed
a resolution calling upon Sit' Wilfrid
