The meeting vvas called for the purpose of electing delegates lo attend Hie Liberal noniinutlug . onvention which will be held next Friday night. There were several brief speeches by prominent members of Hie Associa tion and the greatest of optimism in connection with the forthcoming election campaign was expressed. James MeNulty, president of the association, wasl in the chair. - The delegates chosen .to attend Ihe convention were as follows: J. MeNulty, J. Neville, Pert (ire-r. Col. S. P. MeMordie, II.

Delegates Unlnstructcd After tlie delegates bad been named, J. "0. Sleen and James Neville submitted, a resolution that the delegates be instructed to support the candidal ure ol Fred Stork at Ihe couvenliwi. A good deal of discussion for and against instructing the delygaleHV" followed. L. . I'almore felt Tv that the delegates should be .ent free and untrammelled to act as they saw fit. While he personally would be hi Support of Mr. Stork as the logical candidate and he felt thete was no doubt ho would be nominated, he thought there should be "a fa'r field and no favoriles" so I hat any other persons who might desire lo be candidates might have the chance. He wis murh opposed to Hie principle of mak ing "rubber stamps of the dele gates. O. W. Johnstone took a similar view to that of Mr. Pat-more. Harvey Fraser and Ceo. Kane were in favor of instructing the. delegates, and Ben Sir felt that they should at least have the voice of the association which they represented. Finally, Aid. W. M. Brown suggested that the resolution call-- ing for the instruction of Ihe delegates be withdrawn and that a vote of confidence in 1-red Stork take its place. The movers of the original resolution agreed to this, and the vote ol confidence, moved by Aid. Brown Hud seconded by Ueorge 'Kane, passed with a good deal of enthusiasm.
