long a start.

The actual hostilities consisted
of a remark that Germany would
probably have supported the pro-
posals of Sir Wilfrid Laurier of
two years ago more heartily than
they would the proposals of the
Borden government. The Premier
followed it up with a quotation
from a Hamburg = newspaper
which presumably knows as lit-
tle about Canadian politics as
German newspapers usually do.
At all events, it was a long way
to Tipperary, so to speak, but be-
ing determined to get the cat on
the jump the Premier naturally
didn’t allow the fact that the edi-
torial was two years old to stand

 

in the way.
All Sir Robert's arguments had

led up to this point. He per-
formed rather perfunctorily his
task of defending protection

when you talk of a blow to the

Wilfrid Laurier’s pro-
nouncement on the British Pref-
erence had given the lead to his
fighting men. His freer trade fol-
lowers might say what they liked
about a tariff which is now three
points higher than that of the
United States; but it was evident
that the chiet bone of contention
was to be the British Preference.
The pith of Sir Wilfrid's case was
in this sentence, “Four years ago

In other words, protection had us

dangerous argument and it had to

MAYOR AND MORRISSEY
REPORTED DISQUALIFIED

—_———

A special meeting of the City
Council was called for last night
but only one or two turned up. A
littte later a telephone message
to the police headquarters an-
nounced that the meeting had
been deferred.

Today, visitors to the City Hall
were told that the mayor would
not transact any city business to-
day. Reports are-current that
both the Mayor and Alderman
Morrissey have disquali-
fled. It is known that the city
solicitor has a nine-page report
on the subject for Monday night
and while nothing official has
been given out it is certain that
they have both been disqualitied.
In the case of Alderman Mor-
rissey, the matter is clear that he
was in the wrong. It is said that
the Mayor's case involves a tech-
nicality, but he has no
take any chances with the

According to information heard
on the street they are both liable
to a fine of $2,500 each for the
and $50 for time
they take their place in the Coun-
cil after being disqualified. The
fine, however, only goes into ef-
fect on the request of some citi-
zen.

An election for mayor and al-
derman will have to be held at
