The Progressive candidate, Mr. 3.. W. King, t said on the platform the Conservative party is bad but the Liberal party is worse;
yet he, now, wants the votes of all the Liberals an'If the Conservative U.F.O: s as well.
The Farmers' Sun, the official organ of the U F.i, in its last week's issue, absolutely repudiates all, Progressives who, are sailing
under false colors. `
The Conservative party is the only one united as t Leader and the only one agreed upon a definite businesslike policy.
