They are the "X"" in a com- plicated mathematical problem and mathematics, just now, are a most popular form of political diversion. For the crux of tomorrows polling lies not only in how far Lloyd vote but also in the relationship of the number of seats he wins the total Liberal vote polled. With three or more candidates in 470 of the 615 constituencies it is probable quite a number of candi- dates will be elected with. only a minority of the total vote cast. At the last general election 'the total labor vote increased 1,123.000, but they lost 41 seats. The Conserva- tive popular vote increased 2,000,- 000 and they gained 157 seats. The total-non-Conservative vote in 1924 exceeded the Conservative vote by 1,281,000 and yet the Conservatives took 415 out of the 615 seats al- most doubling the representation of all the others combined, So in this campaign which breaks all re- cords for triangular and quarrang- ular fights the political computer finds his problem complicated and difficult.

Ths fact was brought home strikingly to the members of the Order yesterday as they listeneu to the report presented by Miss Gordon of Toronto, National con- venor of the committee. After re- viewing the history of the war memorial scheme, the convenor noted that in the lean years of business depression which came as an aftermath of the war, the fund'had suffered somewhat owing to the scarcity of money. and to the natural desire in many quar- ters to raise local war memorials rather than to support a more or less intangible ideal, The result Was that a rigid economy had been 'necessary n the administration of the fund, but in spite of this econe omy it had proved an amazingly effective memorial, placing the gp- portunity for higher education within reach of a total of 1286 sons and daughters of disabled or deceased ex-service men or war veterans Prescott--Acting on the sugges- tion of the Board of Trade, the Council is inviting the Governor- General to visit the town during the summer. arquette" Car Given First Showing in Oshawa GENERAL MOTORS DEALERS OF EASTERN CANADA MEET T0 SEE NEW MODEL CARS * First Local Showings of the Marquette and Viking Cars Made at Convention Being Held in the G.M.C, -Auditorium a DEALERS DELIGHTED WITH THE NEW CARS Sale Department Is Flooded With Applications From Dealers Who Are Anxious to Handle the New Mar« quette Car i General Motors dealers from all of Eastern Canada gather in Oshawa during the last half of this week, starting today, for a dealers show- ing in the G.M.C. auditorium of the new Marquette and Viking which are being produced by G Genezal Mo-« tors of Canada. | A private showing to McLaughlin« Buick dealers of the Marquette line was made yesterday in the auditor« jum, The Marquette is being built by the McLaughlin Motor Car Come pany of Canada, and sold through the McLaughlin-Buick division of General Motors of Canada, of which George Ansley is general sales man= ager and H.
