From other ridings in Ontario there are reports of the deadly work of the conventioncrookedlitis germ. The disease is not restricted to any party. It attacks in the most unexpected places. If democracy is to survive at its best, there must be discovered some antiâ€"toxin or inoculation to preâ€" vent the inroads of the germ. Certainly the "iron lung" used at conventions, and the "throat spray" used on some convention trains are not as effecâ€" tive for the public political health as equivalent devices at work in infantile paralysis cases at Toâ€" ronto, Sudbury and Kirkland Lake. _Anyone who knows anything about politics knows that a certain amount of organization is necessary to assure party nomination, just as it is lmperative for election. Perhaps, a certain @mount of ballyhoo and hysteria may also be alâ€" lowable in regard to conventions as well as to elections. There should be a limit. however, to these tactics. Were packed conventions closely restricted to members of the political party conâ€" carned no particular harm would be done. But when members of other political groups are draâ€" umned into service to force unwanted candidates _ on a party, the result is not for either the party‘s _ good or the public advantage. It is a hopeful sign, however, that in many places (such as Ottaâ€" a~vg Â¥a and Nipissing for example) the rank and file th _â€" :ntend to succumb without putting up a Members Canadian Weekly Newspaper Amociation; Ontarioâ€" Quebee Newspaper Association; Clase "A" Weekly Group Just as poliomyelitis ("infantile paralysis" to the wayfaring man) is epidemic in Ontario toâ€" day, so conventioncrookedlitis ("packed convenâ€" tions" to the honest voter) appear to be scourgâ€" ing the body politic in this province at the present time. Other election times have heard the odd word about the packed convention of this party or that, or both, but in these days the.. disease seems so virulent as to cause alarm among those who hold hope in democracy, and love for their country In Ottawa charges of the introduction of this vicious germ in the Conservative convenâ€" tion preoeedings has led leading Tories to take the case to the law courts in the hope.of quarantine and helpful treatment. In the riding of Nipissing it was the Liberal body that was attacked by the conventioncrookedlitis germ. After the first vote J to select a candidate the disease seemed to be so deep-seated that the convention ‘was: adjourned without choosing a candidate and hurry call was sent to headquarters at Toronto for serum to bring the patient back to some chance for life. In North Cochrane the charge has been made that the virus. had beenâ€"released in the Liberal ranks, though the hope was expressed that it would have no more serious result than to give the patient some meas-: ure of immunity from election germs. In South Cochrang tbe virus released at the Conservative convention threatens to leave the party crippled for many years. â€" Oanadaâ€"$2.00 Per Year United Statesâ€"$3.00 Per Year the way the block in which the mayor lives was oiled heretofore. To some people it may be a mystery why other streets were skimped on oil and the one block was soaked so generously.â€" To others the mystery is why Sixth avenue at long last is given parity with Crude Oil Boulevard. Is the hope for provincial votes more potent than the desire for municipal support? Perish the thought! It wouldn‘t be sporting to lavish municipal oil to buy provincial votes. And so the mystery of the oil on Sixth avenue remains! But further investigation showed that the mayor hadn‘t moved, so the mystery of the oil remains as great as ever. It is a fact that all the streets in town this year should have been oiled a shower of oil. And now here was a veritable flood! Passing cars splashed it on the fences! Children brought it onto the sidewalks on their boots, and into the houses! After the great oil drouth, here was oil by the inch, by the gallon, by the great horn spoon! Speaking of whiskey, an old Scotsman once said: "A little too much is just enough." ‘That was the oil situation on Sixth aveâ€" nue on Thursday last! For investigation showed that it was Sixth avenue still despite the oil. "Too bad!" saidâ€"everybody on Sixth avenue, "the mayor must have moved onto our street. How ‘else could any street in Timmins have so much oil?" Certainly Sixth avenue was never Jike this! All summer the dust had triumphed and flourished over the anaemic applications of sparse thin oil. Sixth avenue never before in its history had seen of his wellâ€"known legerdemain the mayor had transported all their houses onto his own street, just like he reduced electric light bills, brought down taxes upward, or decreased the. cost of theatre tickets without affecting the price. Thursday of last week honest residents of Sixth avenue were amazed, amused, astounded, astonâ€" ished, dumbfounded and flabbergasted "to see their street so flooded with oil that 1t 16oked like Crude Oil Boulevard. The first reaction was to wonder whether they had stepped out from their houses onto the wrong street, or whether by some Timmins, Ont., Monday, Sept. 13th, EPIDEMIC IN POLITICS war to themselves. Germany seems to be aching again for a gocod old war, and Soviet Russia seems to have been training for war for many years past. If everybody else woulid stand back and let them fight, the chances are that the world would feel better by the time they swere through. The trouâ€" ble, however is that so intricately are the interests of the various nations interwoven, that the big fight that all the nations.have on their hands at present is to avoid gett}n@‘ mto a war that will drag into combat the nations that are so anxious to mind their own. business and progress along peaceâ€" ful lines. Despatches from Europe suggest that there is serious danger of war between Germany and Rusâ€" sia. No one would worry much if these two naâ€" tions would go to war, if they would just keep their Geo. Brown preferred a name for his party that would be more immediately respectful, and he termed the party "the Reform Party." So it "was known for years, and while the members of the one group were called "Liberalâ€"Conservatives" the other group were usually classed as "Reformers," and not "Liberals." It was some years after Conâ€" federation before the "Reformers" reâ€"appropriatâ€" ed the name ‘"Liberals." The young lady in quesâ€" tion lives in Iroquois Falls and in reply to her rather scornful query, "How can a man be a Libâ€" eral and a Conservative at one time?" the approâ€" priate answer is "How would you like to live in South Cochrane and be a C.C.F.â€"Liberalâ€"Conserâ€" vative?" j the "Liberalâ€"Conservative" party. The new party was known commonly as "the Clear Grits " a term humorously applied to them from an expression used in one of Hon. Geo. Brown‘s speeches. There were some of the members of the party who would have adopted this term of intended derision as the nt\e of the new party, hoping to build it into a name of respect, just as the "Methodists" took the name given them in ridicule and made it a figrm that held the regard of all. However, Hon. A young lady asks The Advance why one poliâ€" tical party uses the name "Liberalâ€"Conservative." IThe young lady seems to think the Conservatives are not not entitled to use the name "Liberal," as it is used by another political party as a name. The fact of the matter is that the Liberalâ€"Conâ€" servative party seems to be more entitled to the use of the word "Liberal""‘ than the "Liberals‘"‘ are. The name "Liberalâ€"Conservative" goes back to the days when effort was being made to unite the provinces of Canada into a confederation. There were two parties then, "Liberals" and "Conservatives," as they were known, and they joined forces to achieve confederation. The union of parties for this patriotic purpose was known and recognized as the ‘"Liberalâ€"Conservaâ€" tive" party. After confederation, some former Liberals, led by Hon. Geo. Brown, broke away from ! Political ballyhoo would be amusing were it not Two Sudbury aviators are charged with breach of air regulations by flying too low and otherwise endangering public safety. Their names are given as Tony Sunday and Billy Bell. Shouldn‘t the names be Billy Sunday and Toney Bell? It may be said that infantile paralysis crippled the Toronto exhibition this year. a record of this sort covering a period of thirty years. In the Northern Ontario Associated Boards of Trade, in municipal service in the Township of Tisdale, in various public and semiâ€" â€"public offices, and during the years When he held no public ofâ€" fice, he has worked steadily, ably, publicâ€"spiritedâ€" ly for the progress of the North. He has always been trying to help the North and its people, and when elected as a member of the Legislature, it will mean that he will simply have the better portunity to do what he has been doing for a third of a century. be conducted as fairly and honestly at least as elections. In the meantime, however, the. public has its remedy. There are few constituencies in which there is not at least one outstanding candiâ€" dateâ€"a man who will serve the people, irrespecâ€" tive of party. If the public in general will support the best man available, the voters will find that they will not go far wrong. In this riding of South Cochrane, for example, the voters do not need to heed ballyhoo or impossible promises, or take anyâ€" thing for granted. They have one candidate whose record of long service for this district and the North is far more impressive than the endorâ€" sation of any convention. C. V. Gallagher has worked honestly and ably for the North as a private citizen, as well as a public man. He has Recent disclosures show that politicians have much to worry about in regard to conventions.

Tocmnmemunmmmotmmfw democracy, there must be fair and free choice of candidates for the parties, as well as intelligent choice between the respective candidates on elecâ€" tion day. As The Adv#@»Hcéhas noted on several recent occasions the ‘idéat condition would be the selection by each and every party of the most able and publicâ€"spirited candidate available. Under such a plan the public would have a real choice, with assurance that in :my event the interests of the constituency would be served. Under the preâ€" sent imperfect convention method, however, the will of a party is easily frustrated by mcthods that are far from desirable. Too often the man with the most money or the loudest ballyhoo defeats a better man at a convention.

The first and probably the only bh!ng accomplished by the present mayor was a general reductlon in the salaries of all in the employ»\ of the town.
