The Conservative Association of ani-toba has decided upon dropping e Liberal section of its hyphen- ted designation and coming` out under the simple and honored party name. The hyphen has been there a long time, but there was never any real justicatiion for it. The `Con- servative parrty i.n Czmada has no reason to be ashamed of its record or its name, and no reason to adul- rate either with a pretense of a. 1'bera1l mixture.

The I experience of the past is that we can scamcely develop power fast enough to keep pace with rthe demand.
