The building was well filled with people, among whom were sev- eral whose relatives had fallen or were wounded. A large Union Jack covered `the part of the wall` where the `tablet was placed,- and around it, adding a touch of beauty and im- pressiveness, were bouquets of chrys- anthemums, anemones, carnations, and other flowers, while along the ledge of the counter abeautiful vine clung as if the ledge were its natural home. ' 11 ,m, 02, ,y-i-,I_ LL- -___- led the audience in pra er, after which H. M. Lay, managr of-the f local branch, read the list of names, together with a short sketch of `-the service of those onethe tablet. `In 7 the first year of the war, Mr. Lay said, 460 men of the Bank of Com- merce throughout Canada enlisted, and 1701 were wearing the colors, or ` rather had worn the colors .before the conflict was .over. Of the 1701, 258 made the supreme sacrifice. ' Mayor Little Speaks In opening his brief address, His Worship said it was an honor to those present and to him to witness the unveiling of the tablet. Monu- ments to the dead, are useless unless: they bring homeito the minds of the people their real object, namely, to`, bring.back the dead to the memoryi of those left behind. No doubt, the; men had their little faults and short-' comings, but no one is perfect, and as tears `were shed over the memory of those who laid down their lives, their faults were wiped out, as the sacri-i fice they had made more than paid; for their faults. The speaker was! aware,-he said, that amonghis hear-I ers were somewho had lost their] dear ones in the war, and to those} he gave a few words of comfort. In the Good Book we are taught that _man is immortal and that Death is only a passing into a better world, where, he hoped, there would be a ilreunion of those separated now. _ rm... m'r..-.,... 1.1.-.. .'....c.........J 4... +1..` WIS-liortly after five o clock, the cere- I mony began. Rev. George A. Brown a Manley Chew, ex-M.P.,l (who de- feated W. H.

Harvie, president of the East Simcoe'Liberal Association, who presided `at the opening of_ the con- i vention, reviewed the circumstances which led up to the calling of the Convention. At the Liberal conven- tion, held in Midland on October 7,. a written request had been received from executives of the, Labor and` Soldier organizations, asking that a joint convention be held of all who A were opposed to the Meighen` govern- ment The Liberals agreed to this, and the result was the joint con- vention. Continuing, Dr. Harvie said it was a good thing for the forces -l to get together.` Separately, each :section could not hope to arrive any- ;where,_ but united they were strong. lHe admired the Meighen candidate,` iDr. Raikes, as a gentleman and for his War record, but regretted he was" on the wrong side politically. The i_' speaker said it would be hard to beat Ithe government, because they had) [all the forces of organization, plenty jof means, and the big interests be-'. ihind them, but he believed it couldi ibe done. 1 0 n vv -0!

Compromise Necessary `J Mr. Kennedy, upon taking the_'- chair, said that all had met together for the purpose of consolidating the anti-government forces in East Sim- coe.. It was unfortunate there had ` been a split between Labor and the U.F.O. There should have been com- promise, and one strong candidate put forward for all. Compromise was ithe. life of the nation, compromise Fbrings all together on an equal basi . M `The United Farmers 'hac been invite to attend this Convention on an equal I basis with other bodies. He asked was anyone present to speak for the farmers, as no reply to the invitation ihad been received? ` U.F.O. Declines I ' Walter,Powe1l, a member of the -United `Farmers executive, said that a meeting -had been .held in Cold- water the day previous, when the in- vitation had been considered. He then read the letter of reply sent by` the U.F.O., the main part; of which was a resolution declining to accept the invitation and asking your con- vention and all others of a like mind to join us in electing the Progressive nominee, Mr. Thomas-F. Swindle. The Light in the Window A. motion, signifying that the light would be in the window for the U.F. 0. if they changed their mind, was iintroduced by Fred W.

A very sad affair octaurred near Craighurst on Monday evening, when the little daughter of Andrew Cum- ming, con. 5, Medonte, was run over and instantly killed. Mr. Cumming was drawing in po- -tatoes and was proceeding home- wards with a heavy load when his daughter, Marion, aged 5, went to meet him, aswas her custom. He stopped to rest his horses and was standing on the ground beside the wagon. Looking around for his daughter, he saw that she had climb- ed up on the load on the opposite side. As the wheels were well down in the soft ground, the horses, in starting, gave a sharp pull, and the jolt was so hard that it shook the child off the wagon. The father saw her. fall in front of the wheel, and stopped the horses immediately, but not soon enough to prevent the wheel crushing in her skull. was instantaneous. Very deep sym- pathy is felt for the grief-stricken parents. ` fnL__ _p___1__ ______A ___ ,, 1 1 75 Death V icuu.
