Premier-elect Drury these days, has
so many pronouncements to stake to
the public that he may soon have to
be provided with wireless equipment.
That plan of Premier Drury to get
an extra seat in West Durham is enough
to stake the old politicians open their
eyes. There is nothing stow about n
shee.Od move like that.
Premier Drpry seems to take •t de-
light in cr'itizutg Conservative 'policies
of the past and present—particularly
as regards Dominion politics. Last
week he took occasion to critize the
National Policy and also the Conser-
vative campaign of u91.41 against Re-
ciprocity. The Old National Policy of
Sir John Macdonald has stood the test
of time under both of the old parites,
