McKay held a meeting at North on Monday evening Mr McKay had his little speech prepared about school booksin fact that- was all he referred to during his speech Any loyal citizen knows we have the best educational system in the Dominion and from the attention be got it was plain the people were not thinking much of his yarns Mr the flowery speaker dwelt at some length on Mr Lloyds speech had his and not mention hardly anything in reference to what are the political is sues Mr Marshall representing Hon J Davis gave a good 30 minute speech and was enthusiastically re ceived He referred to the charges made by Mr Lennox in the afternoon Mr Lennox stated at Baldwin that Mr Marshal always had the same old story in reply to that statement Mr Marshall was compelled to con- the many false statements made by Mr Lennox who always tells the same story at bis meetings- Mr Marshall also bad to contradict Mr in reference to the Manhood Bill- claimed that the Conservative Government had passed such a Bill Such Absurdity The Conservative Government at Ot tawa did not pass any such law and as tiie Conservatives have not had chance in Ontario how could it be passed except by the Liberals to whom every voting man should feet indebted for their determination to give the boys a vote During Mr Lennoxs speech which was nothing else but slander ridicule and faultfinding he stated emphatic- ally how he would like to meet the Hon J Davis on any platform Mr Marshall asked the privilege to ask one question to which Mr Len nox consented The question was Will you agree tonight to hold four joint meetings with Hon J Davis in different parts of the riding each to take charge of meetings alternately To this Mr Lennox emphatically refused stating that he had some arranged and would invite Mr Davis to them Such coward- ice I He has been blowing how Mr Davis would cot come to meet him after Mr Davis had arranged to hold meetings somewhere else and when fairness only is desired he wants to sneak away and hide himself as he will in any event have to do on the of May This should show the electors of North York what kind of a man is asking r their support How he manage to do anything in Parlia ment when called upon to defend Province At Baldwin on Monday afternoon he held a meeting and was to hold it in a barn nearby to find room for the many Grits who gathered to hear the political issues of the day but were com pelled to listen to slander from the Whitney candidate he referring more especially to Mr Duncan Marshall and the ones who were assisting Mr Davis in the campaign which shows what a gentleman the Whitney candi- date is Mr John M- of Sutton West asked Mr Lennox some questions in reference to his temperance habits and to whom Mr Lennox shamefully used the words If you vote for me will have you arrested and I dont want you to vote for when in a few sentences pre ceding he had been soliciting the Tern- voles on the ground that the Hon J Davis was not a temper ance man every elector of North York who knows lion J knows he is- Mr Duncan Marshall was most heartily received at this meeting and srokc at some length on Prohibition and the development of the pulp In dustry The meeting cloned with cheers for the Whitney candidate candidate did not turn upside down for the Whitney cause Will the Whitney candidate hold a joint meeting at
