Facing Both Ways
On the Saturday night before election,
11r. Hislop, or better his workers. sent
out a "roorback" to the lady voter: in
some parts of North Huron The letter
which is over the name of A. Hislop, con-
tradicts many statements which 1:e him-
self advocated. While this letter was
being distributed in Blyth and which has
as one of its first statements, "I am in
favour of sending reinforcements to the
front at the earliest possible moment", a
meeting was being addressed in Wingham
by that same Mr. Hislop and electors
were being asked to vote for him and not
have their sons drafted to the front.
Further in his circular he says that he has
pledged himself to send reinforcements
in a letter addressed to the soldiers
Wouldn't it be interesting for some of
Archie's German supporters to have the
reading of one of those letters sent to the
soldier boys. Before the end of the cir
cuter, addressed to the lady voters, Ye
notice that he has not forgotten to hit Mr.
Bowman a slap by the worn-out election
cry that his son received exemption. Yes.
he did, but was he not the only man on a
large farm? If Mr. Hislop had been
elected would he have stayed home on his
farm instead of attending to his duties at
Ottawa?

A Victory for Better Govern-

Without the necessity of tallying up a
single vote from the men overseas, Union
Government won a magnificent victory
Thus
over its reactionary adversaries. Tlt t
once and for all time have Canadians put
themselves on record in respect to this
war. We were in at the start We will
ba in it at the finish. The note which
came out of the West is both loud and
clear: Old line Liberals and old line Con-
servatives throughout Ontario and beyond
the lakes got behind Union Government
almost to a man, with The result that
Quebec's solid front has been rendered
impotent Both Sir Wilfrid Laurier and
Sir Loner Gouin have again and again
made the statement that they would stand
behind the Military Service Act provided
there was a mandate from the people.
The mandate has been given with no un-
certain sound. It now remains far the
Quebec leaders to make good their word.
In no manner can this Union victory be
