interviewed by the Planet at the Gar-
ner this morning he willingly gave his
conclusions on the forthcoming con-
test.
"Yes, there is going to he a change,"
he sa.d in answer to the repnr•tel's
query. "My good Conservative friends
had a big laugh at my expense last
June when i told them they were go-

the Dominion election. My good Lib-
eral friends are having the Baume laugh
on me now. But I'(i) convinced that
the hist and best laugh will be mine in
this case as in the other."
"Then you think there will he a
change?"
"A complete sweep. Whitney will
have a big majority at his back after
the election. It is about, the quietest
campaign I have ever watched, hut

applies with considerable force to a
government whose frog lease of con-
trol has probably made them lax. In
fact the change in thought is so pro-
nounced, that it amazed cur." --Chat-
