Association

 

There are 341 Conservatives on
the association roll according to the
announcement of the secretary at
last night’s meeting It was Dr
Clayton who wanted to know last
night why only some 250 votes had
been recorded for Mr, Ciements at
last Dominion election “There is
something wrong somewhere,"’ said
Dr. Claytom ‘“‘and the executive is
to blame for it Those missing votes

ought to be accounted for.’
J. A. Kirkpatrick, chairman,
upon his shoulders the whole

took

blame

of the lack of organization amongs
the Conservatives before last elec-
| tion

Joseph Swift said it was very noble
of the president to take all the
blame, but there were others on the
executive more cuipable He said
it was a shame that a ring should
run the affairs without consulting
the association at large

Mr Lanni vigorously endorsed
