THE PROGRESSIVE PARTY May Ultimately Be Confined to West And Be Regional in Scope. Ottawa, June 28.--Federal mem- bers are busy canvassing the situa- tion arising out of the defeat of the Drury government in Ontario and the coming to power of a Conserva- tive ministry. The victory has heart- ened the official opposition exceed- ingly, and has brought sorely-need- ed encouragement to Mr. Meighen and his scant forces. Liberals also find comfort in the result, particular- ly those from Quebec, who welcome the overthrow of a Farmer govern- ment and profess to be satisfied that, [in Ontario at least, the two-party system has, to all intents and par- poses, been re-established. To the Progressives the result brings noth- ing but gloomy apprehension for the future. Some profess to believe, however, that the rock on which the Drury government came to grief was the liquor issue, and that the result Dr. Cody is not in a position to ac- cept this responsibility at the pres ent time. Official announcement of the ree sults of polling will be made to- morrow. In the meantime it is not definitely known whether Hon. H. C. Nixon, provincial secretary in the Drury government, or J. M.

Maxton and Wheatley denounced those favoring the reduction, notably George Banbury, a Labor member for Poplar, as "murderers" and refused to withdraw, despite the advice of J. Ramsay MacDonald, parliament- ary Labor leader. They also refused summons to leave, whereupon they were formally named by the speak- er and the home secretary moved their suspension, which was carried, 268 to 70. Then Rev.

Much ado is being made by the Standard over the action of the provincial police of this district in holding up automobiles on the main highways out of Kingston on Sat- urday and Sunday nights. "The shocking and uncalled for action taken by the provincial police" is how the Standard terms it. And yet in last Monday's issue of this same hypocritical Standard one reads on page two of a case tried by county magistrates in which a Kingston young man, arrested on the Fromt Road, was found guilty of having three bottles of whiskey in his auto- mobile while driving to Kingston and fined one thousand dollars and costs or six months in prison. Yet in the fate of that, the Standard dares to say that the action of the provin- cial police was "shocking and' un- called for." The Standard insults these police officers by referring to their actions as terrorizing. The officers knew who they were after and would not molest the innocent. I* was the bootlegger and the dis- penser of election booze that they sought. \ "The Whig of this city was ap- parently 'in the know' as to what was going on and as to what might be expected," says the Standard, "for on Saturday in a prominent place on the front page of its paper it published the following: 'The U, F. O. aders have been informed that some Conservatives intend to distribute liquor at several points in the county for Monday and are keeping a lookout. If the distribu- tion is made, there promises to be a lively time for those who violate the O.T.A.

Well, itéreached the ears of one of first but get it right." The Whig editors were not "in the know" at all, and the paragraph was published because it was guaranteed to be true, and there has been sufficient proof of it since. The intention of the authorities leaked out and some of the Tories should thank the Whig for tipping them off as to the dang. er they ran. We think It was a kind and charitable act to notify political 'opponents--but then we really like them all, every . mother's son of them, and did not want to see them touched up to the tune of one thous, and dollars and costs or six months in prison.

It {ll behooves the Oid Lady of Princess sireet, Boo-hoo's sob-sister, to rail at the enforcement of the O. T. A. by officers appointed for that. purpose. It is still fresh in the mem- ories of certain Tory leaders that the Standard proprietor (whom they have never forgiven) wrote a grand prohibition letter from Florida just before the importation referendum, against importation of liquor from Quebec province.
