AN UPHEAVAL AT HAND

Almost every day something
happens which disturbs the eal-
culations of the — old-fashioned
politicians and astonishes the
public The latest cause .of
amazement is the announcement
of G, J, Doughty, Conservative
candidate, and president of the
Conservative Association of Ward
One, Toronto, that he advocates
the abolition of the bar, tax ve-
form, and votes for women, al!
in direet opposition to the poliey
of his own--or shall we say itis
late?—party. .Mr. Doughty weuld
also abolish the sale of intowxiéat-
ing liquors in shops,

What we are witnessing wuty
looks almost like a complete obli-
teration of the old party lines and

 

a direet popular vote upon the
issues raised by Mr. Rovwell,
