Indecd, there was practically no argument; nothing but rather wildâ€"sounding stat< ments. About the only direct appeai was not of the highest patriolie type. 1t was Mrs. Prenter‘s appeal :â€"‘‘ V ote for your class!‘‘ With the memory of Hon. Mr. Guthrie‘s reasoned, logtâ€" cal, courteous and fair address so fresh in memory, Friday evening‘s meeting sounded perhaps worse than it might have otherwise. lt is only fair to state thai Messrs. ! Wm. DeFeu and Len Newton did keep within genmilemanly bounds. Mr. 1)n§ Feu, as (hau'man confined his opening remarks to a contradiction of the sugâ€" gestion that Mr. Roebuck was not the| recognized Labor candidate. He mlld‘ Mr. Roehuck was endorsed by the | National Labor Party and brou(r’ht ont’ by the locals of the Party in lemhk.l-! ming. â€" His campaign was financed the workingmen, £1,000 being raised in Cobalt, $400 of this being from the Miners‘ Union. Mr. Newton saifd the Union Governâ€" ment was not really a Union Governâ€" ment. Tt is only 1'el»r(-sented with aâ€" bout 20 per cent. of the people of Canada. _ He thought it impossible for the right change to have cccurred in the past fivre or six weeks.

F. B. Carvell was a produce dealer. All t {aiberâ€" als in the Union Government ~e sugâ€" gested were corrugated or worse.

Harriet Pronter by her humorâ€". ous introduction won the audience for the start. The election was a battle between Democracy and Special Priâ€" vilege, she said, and she made the apâ€" peal ‘‘Vote for your Class!‘*‘ â€"War time was <the hunting season for the predatory interests, though they had no elose season, according to Mrs. Harriet Prenter. She said the minds af the people were confused by the war, and also by the ‘flagâ€" waving.‘‘ The working people, she thought, were the only ‘‘winâ€"theâ€"war‘‘ part: To wmake a Union Government onl of the ~present Cabinet she considercd akin to trying to revive a corpse y transâ€" fusion of blood.
