Perhaps the chief point of difference between the Bartleman candidate, Mr. Bartleman, and The Adâ€" vance, lies in thisâ€"that The Advance would prefer There is little doubt but that The Advance and Mr. Bartleman are not congenial friends so far as public life is concerned, yet "personal hatred" is perhaps too harsh a word. Hostility might be a better name for the feeling, though it is difficultâ€" to hold down personal animosity in some cases. For instance, The Advance has fought all through its existence for a fair chance for everyâ€"young man and young woman. If a young man has struggled against adverse circumstances and conditions and amade a real man of himself, a credit to his home town, no less than to himselfâ€"then in the idea of The Advance and the readers it represents, such a young man deserves the good will and support of all. When Mr. Bartleman appeared to hold a conâ€" trary opinion, even a newspaper may be pardoned for a feeling of bitterness. When what appeared to be wanton attacks upon tried and trusted public servants have been made without any apparent fair foundation, then, however much such tactics may appeal to the thoughtless or the malicious, they rouse only resentinent in The Advance. Criâ€" ticism has naturally been made of his efforts to use the Conservative party, the CCF., his municipal office, for personal advantage, always trying to cloud the issue by vicious attackâ€"on somebody or something else. The fire chief, the police, the town clerk, the assessor, the power company, the public works department, the mines, the merâ€" chants, The Advance.â€"all these have had to surâ€" vive the public illâ€"will of Mr. Bartleman. Just at present he is as furious against the Hepburn gov= ernment as he was at the last election aginst the Conservatives. If occasionally he ‘Wwould say a good word for somebody (except Mr. Bartleman himself) he might be taken into the company of human and friendly folks. â€"However, if the Bartleman party newspaper confined itself to the form of humour indicated, no one would pay any attention to it. _But thetée is a note of malice injected into the funny stuff. The suggestion is made that The Advance is opâ€" posing Mr. Bartieman because of "personal hatred". Following its usual custom, t.he Bartle- man party newspaper attempts to sfip‘port its inâ€" nuendo by peddled rumours spread on street by mouth. The street talk is bolder and goes the length of saying that Mr. Bartleman is Qpposed because he is connected with the Bartleman party newspaper. Such a statement might be termed an Irish reverse. The truth is that Mr. Bartleman is connected with the Bartleman party newspaper because in the years that are passed Mr. Bartleâ€" man‘s destructiveness and unfortunate attitude to material things and to human affairs have been consistently and persistently opposed by The Adâ€" vance. The Advance has found it necessary to oppose Mr. Bartleman in his attitude toward life as he showed it in the board of trade, the Conserâ€" vative party, the C.C.F., the ratepayers‘ associaâ€" tions, and in the municipal activities that he urged at various times. In every capacity that he has appeared he seems to be determined to tear down, suffers the constructive only when it means desâ€" troying something else. In brief, The Advance has always found that Mr. Bartleman was always just a little too strong for Mr. Bartleman, while The Advance was always trying to be all for the North. The personal newspaper of the Bartleman part: candidate, Mr. Bartleman, has a fashion of slavishâ€" ly copying the enterprises of The Advance, though usually spoiling the effect by becoming hysterical about its own progressiveness. An example of this was called to the attention of The Advance last week. For months The Advance featured on its front page a neat one column item of humour, heading it the "Semiâ€"Weekly Smile." Along comes the Bartleman party newspaper with the same apâ€" parent idea, only, however, succumbing to the usuâ€" al hysteria and making it a twoâ€"column blurb, with a big blackâ€"face heading, "We Charge." But there is a laugh in every lineâ€"indeed, in nearly every word. The Bartleman party newspaper refers to itself as, "active," "progressive," ‘"independent," "nonâ€"partizan," "fair," ‘"impartial," andâ€"richest gem of allâ€"as having "avoided slavish alliance with any one faction." In all the annals of newsâ€" paperdom there has never been a newspaper that has shown such slavish devotion to party as the newspaper of the Bartleman candidaté, Mr. Barâ€" tleman, has shown to the Bartleman party. Hon. Sir Wilfrid Laurier, at the height of his wonderful popularity, never received as many headlines, as many pictures, and none of the fulsome flattery from any of the newspapers devoted to him, that have been almost daily showered upon the Bartleâ€" man party candidate, Mr. Bartleman, by the Barâ€" tleman party newspaper. When there isn‘t a Bartleman headline in the Bartleman party newsâ€" paper the most of the good citizens of this town are ready to bet that the Bartleman party. candiâ€" date, Mr. Bartleman, is out of town. ._â€"** Clanadaâ€"â€"$2.00 Per Year TIMMINX®, ONTAR1O.

With the two IFS it is a safe enough promise. But it seems rather mean (though typical) that such a promise should be made after the promises made to the beer parlours with the idea of securing contribuâ€" tions for political purposes. Further it is worthy of note that Hon. Mr. Rowe implied no such proâ€" mise when he spoke in the North. The Toronto Telegramâ€"a newspaper that has beenâ€"and stili is â€"a traditional supporter of Conservative policiesâ€" fairly â€"begged Mr. Rowe to take definite stand on The better plan, however, would be for all to vote for the North, irrespective of party. In this riding at this time that is the loyal thing to do. The record shows that Charles V. Gallagher will be the best representative for the North at this time. As the advertisements say:â€""Vote for the North!t Vote Gallagherl {tGRAVEL AND SANDâ€"AND PLACER Loyalty to the party may be as strong in the C.C. F. as in the Conservative party, and if so the party workers may claim that it is more loyal to vote for a man who was once a member of the party, rather than to vote for one who never made confession.of the C.C.F. creed. Against that idea is the thought that a man who pretends to have forgotten his recent political loveâ€"just walked away leaving the youngsters and everything as it wereâ€"â€"not even pausing for a divorce or a legal separationâ€"but kidnapping his former flame, again as it were, in broad daylight saving time in Iroquois Fallsâ€"such a man surely is not worthy of confidence. Then what to do? If loyal C.C.F. folks do not intend to be played for goofs, and still feel a conâ€" genital objection to voting for an older party, then the only advice to them would be to vote for Tommy Church. He doesn‘t seem to be a bad sort, and at least there is no doubt about what he is. Certainly he is not a Liberal party man or a Conservative party man. F. member to the town council. Again the C.C.F. gentleman asks whether even if they did vote for a C.C.F. candidate in this election whether he would be a C.C.F. candidate by the time the elecâ€" tion was over. In other words the whole difficulty seems to be to know just where a candidate is if he is not there. A member of the C.C.F. party complains about the editorial in The Advance last week suggesting advice as to how young Conservatives should vote in this riding. The C.C.F. gentleman says that the young Conservative has no problem of party loyalty like that of the loyal C.C.F. In this riding accordâ€" ing to our friend, the C.C.F. gentleman, the Conâ€" servatives haven‘t any candidate, and so they don‘t need to vote at all. ‘And that settles that, he says. But the CC.F. are in worse plight. They don‘t know whether they have a candidate or not. They know they have been urged to allow their organization to be used to elect a candidate they didn‘t name, but that did not seem to be reasonâ€" able, when they recalled that similar hopes were entertained of them helping the election of a C.C. The Advance has no apologies to offer for opposâ€" ing the Bartleman candidate, Mr. Bartleman. Inâ€" stead, it is proud to stand for courtesy, fair usage, friendliness, constructive and not destructive ideas. Even in the present case it would prefer to be constructive rather than merely critical, to say the good word rather than the ill one. Setting the good of the North first, The Advance urges the election of Charles V. Gallagherâ€"a man who has been a friendly, helpful, constructive public man all his adult days. Any criticsm of the Bartleman candidate, Mr. Bartleman, is done only because it is necessary in the public interests. The Advance believes it would be a serious blow to this part of the North to have the Bartleman candidate in any position of authority. If he were on the governâ€" ment side at the outset, his history suggests he would be in opposition almost any time. If he were in opposition to start, the riding would have to content itself with nothing but useless attacks on a government that would soon be unfriendly.‘® To return to the brighter side, however, the election of Mr. Gallagher would place in authority a man who has worked all the years he has lived here for the‘advantage of the countryâ€"a genial man who can get along with people and has a fine record of things accomplishedâ€"a fairminded man, free from imaginary grievances, friendly to all and ready to coâ€"operate with all for the good of the North. to say a good word, advocate something construcâ€" tive, give praise where due, or help along a worthy cause, than feature the ill or the unfriendly. The record proves this. Even in the present campaign Mr. Bartleman shows his unfortunate tendency to condemnation and abuse, rather than to the upâ€" building of the country or the word of praise where deserved. Wild talk about the "utter callousness" of those in authority in regard â€"to the victims of silicosis, is not only untrue, ridiculous, but it is unfair and has made it harder to get full justice for the unfortunate ones. The truth is that the mines, the docfors and the governmentâ€"speaking broadlyâ€"have shown an honest desire to do their to remedy the situation. It is a distressing ‘act that since Mr. Bartieman has been in a posiâ€" ion of some authority, his "help" has seemed to make it more difficult to secure the same assistance that seemed to be given to miners contracting silicosis. Friendly coâ€"operation is essential in such cases and this is never secured by untrue and unfair accusations. THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TTMMINS, ONTARIO ® | Mr. and Mrs. O. J. Thorpe, formerly | of Haileybury, but now resident in the lSouth were visitors to Timmins last week the liquor question. Hon. Mr. Rowe, in the rural sections, and in local option areas, has said things that might mean that he Wilffsweep away the beer parlours, though they might mean almost anyâ€" thing else as well. .« It has to be admitted that Preâ€" mier Hepburn is the only one who has . made any definite promise to either the temperance people, the liquor interests or the people. He has definiteâ€" ly promised a nonâ€"partizan commission to take full charge of the administration of the Liquor Control Act. This commission would consist of a judge, a Liberal member of the Legfs}ature and a Conserâ€" vative member of the L_eg'islw ure. Such a commisâ€" sion would take the liquor question out of politics if anything can. iIt should prove a distinct adâ€" vance for true temperance and so prove accéptable to all who are sincere in theit professions for the furtherance of social betterment.

A large number of names have been added to the voters‘ lists in this riding for the coming provincial election. There has been considerable complaint in regard to names said to have been left off the lists, but it would seem that the authorities concerned have tried to be as fair as possible. For one thing when the revising court called to adjust the list had been held it was found that still a number of names had been left from the list, a second revising ccurt was arranged so that no one need be deprived of their vote. The erumerators should not be blamed either for the fact that so many names were left off the lists. No doubt the enumerators made an earnest and anxious effort to have the lists as comâ€" plete as possible, but they were sadly handicapped by the shortness of time allowed and the general hurry in conâ€" nection with the whole election busiâ€" ness. In polls 1 to 15 in the town of Timmns 692 names were added to the lists by the revising courts sitting to receive complaints. This appears to be a large number of names to be missed from the lists, but may be charged to the hurry necessary under present cirâ€" cumstances. The remedy would seem to rest with a plan that would allow more time for the compiling of lists. The same trouble seems to feature every election and it would appear a good plan to take steps to avoid it in future elections. A longer time to carry through the necessary formalities seems to be essential unless a number of voters are to be missed in the making up of the lists.
