A. Byam ! Temiskaming yesterday en-| dorsed Angus Kennedy's record! in the service of the riding by! returning him to the Provincial Legislature by a majority of more than 1200 votes. While a few outlying polls still remained to be heard from at press time it is expected that these returns will only serve to enhance the com- manding lad polled by the Con- eral rival, Charles A. Byam. While it was generally expect- ed that Temiskaming, long Con- servative stronghold, would re- elect Mr. Kennedy, the decisive nature of his victory came as a surprise inasmuch as it was felt that Mr. Byam would make a stronger run. In only three lo- calities did the Liberal candidate secure a majority. Englehart, with a majority of 232 votes, went solidly for the Conservative member. Cobalt, with a majority of 175, and the Township of Coleman, with a ma- jority of 160, supported him very strongly. Haileybury gave Mr. Kennedy a majority of 113 and New Liskeard, home town of each candidate, returned a verdict of 46 in favor of Kennedy. Only in Montreal River, Mil- berta and Krugersdorf did Mr. Byam secure a majority, but these gains were slight and did nothing toward offsetting the tremendous advantage of his op- ponent. Montreal River gave the Liberal candidate a majority Significant of the trend of the riding was the return from Gow- ard, announced shortly after the polls were closed, which gave Kennedy a clean sweep of 27 votes, with not a ballot cast for the Liberal candidate. Mr. Kennedy's majorities in the main polling centres were as follows: Hatleybitry sprites... pi 113 New Wiskeard 2... 2.2% 46 (Cobalt; sexe ci es 173 Coleman: Sis ocicirscee ous 160 Pnglehant-sp-ck toe 232 Isatehtordi: oe... oes oe 46 SEM aganmiiecc tr ott: 57 Basltone: sete tsk ie + 45 MPOLESNEOVE ses ns O's 29 Gloyers Valley =: ..c8c-.:. 19 Flanbu nygeeotcia. «<b> 39 Beacham peer. nis!

Five out of six polls registered majorities for Angus Kennedy, Conservative member for Temis- kaming in the last House, and only in Lawlortown, which also ran true to form in being "agin the Government", did Charles Byam, Liberal candidate, secure a lead. A total of 973 votes cast in the municipality gave Mr. Kennendy a majority of 113. He received 543 votes in all, his opponent se- curing 430. By polls, the voting was as follows: Kennedy Byam Nos Wo Sssecp 0050 106 57 No. 94 81 No. 3 120 96 INO coerce cs 62 58 NO), 3) Sg ang a900s 79 46 INOS (5 S55 Sobp aia 6 82 92 Very little interest was mani- fested in the campaign locally, which was taken as a heartening indication by Tory stalwarts, as representing satisfaction with the administration. There was no excitement on election day and only moderate crowds ven- tured downtown at night to hear the returns. More activity than usual was apparent during vot- ing hours on the part of organ- izers undertaking to get the vote out and cars were busy through- out the day bringing electors to the polls. Probably foreseeing a painful climax, local officials ©f the Lib- eral party, at the last minute de- clined to co-operate with the Conservative organization in re- ceiving the provincial and local returns at the Knights of Colum- bus Hall. Arrangements had al- ready been made for the use of the hall but at the eleventh hour, according to a statement from Conservative committee rooms, the promised co-operation failed to materialize. Election returns were received at the Liberal- Conservative committee rooms on Ferguson Avenue, and in the brokerage office. When Angus Kennedy, re-elec- ted as member for the riding, ar- rived in Haileybury shortly be- fore eleven o'clock, he was given a noisy reception on calling at the party committee where a crowd had gathered 'a- waiting his arrival. Cheers, calls for a-speech, the singing of "For He's.a Jolly Good Fellow", and "See Him Smiling," greeted Tem- iskaming's member-elect when he finally ascended bury for the support accorded him.

It is demonstrated beyond question that the people of Ontario cannot be misled by hysteria and even by misrepresentation. There is a keen and_ intelligent interest taken in the-business affairs of the province by the general pub- lic. No man can make any prof gress and appeal for support uri, less he is absolutely straightfor- ward and candid. I am particu-! larly pleased because it is an un- mistakable evidence that the general public have confidence in the integrity and sincerity of pur- pose that has guided the govern- ment in all its work. We have given our best in the past and we will continue to cary on with the same high purpose as we _ have done. 'Tt is a great satisfaction to me personally that, as I near the end of my 25th year in public life, I should find the jeople o f Ontario expressing confidence and good will in such generous manner as they have done today. Iam sure every member of the government will regard this ver- dict as a mandate authorizing the immediate undertaking of the great program of expansion which we have mapped out 'to build a greater and more pros- perous Ontario." > -- The only meeting of the cam- paign in Femiskaming at which speakers of both parties were present was held at Earlton on Tuesday night.

The fire was discovered about 10; p-m. and at midnight the fire bri- gade of the mine itself, aided by the South Porcupine brigade, had | the flames under control and had, kept them from spreading to ad--- joining mine buildings. The men, had a hard fight to save the build-| ings at the shaft head, the ma-, chine shop and other equipment.' In a despatch from Toronto on| Tuesday, Alex Fasken, secretary | of the Dome Mines Limited, is quoted as stating officially that, restoration would be commenced, at once and that the loss was ful- y covered by insurance. The mine worlgings have been closed down twee rarily, but will pe resumed as soon as possible. The mill was one of the first to be erected in the Porcupine camp, but had been modernized and en- larged to keep up with the in- creasing output of the mine. It was constructed of corrugated iron on a framework of huge square timbers. The mine has been producing since 1912 and during the past year new ore bodies have been encountered and good results ob- tained. It is stated by mining men that the dividend require- ments for the year have already been earned twice over and that there is no doubt that the mill will-be speedily rebuilt and that current earnings will be sufficient for the financing. »°It is stated that liquid assets of Dome Mines total more than $6,000,000. --------Seseee David B.

Out of a total of 112 seats, in one of which there will be a deferred election owing to the death of the Liberal candi- date on the eve of polling day, Liberals were cerdited with but nine, a reduction of 11 seats un- der their representation in the last Legislature. Progressives, with four seats conceded, lost ground in seven ridings. The Conservative gain of 18 'seats exceeded the most sanguine hopes of party leaders. A solid Tory phalanx will face a riddled and demoralized Opposition in Ontario for the next four years. The voice of the people was heard in no uncertain tones. The ocmplete and unqualified endorse- ment of the administration record will have the beneficial effect of kicking the liquor issue out of Ontario politics for many years to come. Introduced by Opposi- tion candidates as an issue in the campaign just closed, the prov- ince-wide endorsement of Tory candidates may be taken as an expression of public opinion in favor of the Liquor Control Act introduced by the Ferguson gov- ernment.

Mr. Kenning's majority is estimated at 500. J. H. McDonald, former mayor of North Bay, failed to carry Nipissing for the Liberals and Harry Morel retained his seat by a majority of more than 1000. One of the biggest upsets oc- curred in Sturgeon Falls, tradi- tionally Liberal, where Theo. Legault, Liberal member in the last House, was ousted in favor of Albert Aubin, Conservative. Aubin polled more than 800 votes more than the former member. In Algoma, Dr. J. M. Robb se- cured a majority of more than 2500 in a straight two-party fight Fort William remained in the Conservative column, the elec- tion of Frank H. Spence being early conceded.

Louis Cote brought Ottawa East into the Conservative col- umn, defeating Albert Pinard, former Liberal member. A. E. Honeywell, Conservative, was el- ected in Ottawa North. Toronto sent a solid Tory rep- resentation, every Conservative candidate being elected. In Victoria South, Lincoln, Huron South, Kent East, On- tario North and Middlesex West, the Conservatives registered big gains from the Progressives. In Middlesex, J. G. Lethbridge, the Progressive party leader, was defeated in his own riding by Dr. L. W. Freele, Conservative, by a majority of 89.
