THURSDAY, AuG. 10 Datty EDITION. agagD THE COMOX-ATLIN CANDIDATES Announcements of the party conventions to select the Liberal and Conservative candidates for the Comox-Atlin contest have already been made. Both are timed to take place in Nanaimo next week, the Conservative Convention on the 16th and the Liberal Convention on the 19th. Within a few days authoritative statements will be made indicating who are and who are not the official standard bearers in the contest. Not that the contest will be a straight party contest. Much less than usual will it be a party fight. The issue in the present campaign is not the conflict of the historic Conservative and Liberal policies, but the straight issue of whether the reciprocity agreement should be put into practice or not. In the present case it will be almost impossible to make the contest a straight party fight, because for over forty years reciprocity has been one of the chief tenets of Conservative doctrine in Canada. With the issue being fought out on the question of reciprocity and not on party lines it is to be expected that a large number of otherwise loyal Conservatives will vote for the reciprocity candidate, while it is known that Clifford Sifton, and a number of Liberal manufacturers who stand to profit by keeping the taxes on food, will desert the party and enlist under the banner of those interests who | are putting up large sums of money to defeat reciprocity. With a number of the plutocrats from the Liberal ranks joining | hands with Mr. Borden in his fight to keep the taxes on food, and a| large number of Conservative workingmen and tradesmen naturally | anxious to profit by the removal of the taxes from food products, it) will be almost impossible to make the issue a party one. Indeed nothing fell flatter than the ‘‘appeals to patriotism”’ and flag-waving | episodes which were indulged in by the anti-reciprocity interests | during Mr. Borden’s tour. Two decades of free education are making | themselves felt, and the electors of today are not so easily deceived | as were their fathers and grandfathers. Many large districts are | likely to follow the examples of Alberta and Saskatchewan where the | Liberal and Conservative members joined hands in the Legislature to express their unanimous support to the reciprocity agreement. Who the Conservative Convention will select as the anti-reciprocity candidate is not yet certain. Mr. Harry Smith of Stewart, Mr. James Bates of Cumberland, and Mr. S. M. Newton of Prince Rupert, are all declared aspirants for the nomination, while rumor says that several | others are willing to run if requested. On the Liberal side, the choice will almost certainly be Mr. Duncan | Ross. The names of Judge McInnes and Mr. William Sloan have | been mentioned, but they are not being seriously entertained. In| the case of Judge McInnes, some of his Vancouver admirers are probably | anxious to find a safe seat for him in the hope that he might be induced | to re-enter public life. In the case of Mr. Sloan, he has been out of | touch with the constituency for a long time, and meanwhile a new generation has grown up which ‘‘knew not Joseph.’’ Mr. Sloan is| in Great Britain at present, and not likely to return until after the| campaign is all settled. In the case of Mr. Duncan Ross however, he is well known in} the constituency, has business interests here, is an extensive employer of labor, and personally very popular. His past services in the House | as member for Yale Cariboo make him additionally desirable as being | an experienced Parliamentarian in the prime of life. His interest in| the reciprocity question—which is the real issue in the present campaign | —has been abundantly shown by his masterly addresses at Victoria | and Prince Rupert at a time when a general election and a vacancy in Comox-Atlin were not thought of. It may be assumed that both conventions are being held at Nanaimo owing to the coaling port being a good rallying point for delegates from all parts of this straggling district and that the can- didates who secure nomination will be representative of the general opinion of the electors of Comox-Atlin.

ALL PROMISED CABINET JOBS Politicians Laughing Over the Large Number of Conserva- tive Cabinet Prospects in the Running. Ottawa, Aug. 9.—Liberals are enjoying a hearty laugh over the size of the cabinet-to-be should R. L. Borden carry the country. At least thirty men are claiming that they have been promised a seat on the treasury benches, and as it is a repetition of the vote- catching methods of the 1908 campaign the politicians are smil- ing out loud. In addition to Hon. Robert Rogers, for the West, R. B. Bennett of Calgary, Premier Mc- Bride of British Columbia, Dr. Roche of Marquette, R. S. Lake of Saskatchewan, are all to be dangled as cabinet men. It would certainly be a case of more officers than privates. The East has also a plethora of cabinet men, all announcing themselves as having been assured of a portfolio. STATION GANG DISPUTE Judge Lampman Considering Action Affecting S. P. Mc- Mordie and Some Slavonians. Judge Lampman was this morn- ing engaged in the hearing of an action by a number of Slavonians of a station gang against S. P. McMordie, the dispute being over a claim for station work. At noon today the case was still proceeding evidence being taken through an interpreter. For Mr. McMordie L. W. Patmore appeared, and City Solicitor Fred Peters had charge of the case for the Sla- vonians who were represented by A. O. Morse, secretary of the P. R. I. A. Bank Inspector Here Mr. C. A. Crosby, supervisor of all branches of the Royal Bank in British Columbia, is here today on business bent. He arriv- ed on the S.S. Prince Rupert. Last Night's Lightning Lightning flashed brilliantly in Prince Rupert last night. All the audience in the Empress Theatre witnessed the display and lots of people remarked on the ecel- trical effects. The Parkin, Ward firm who wired the theatre, had charge of the juice last night. Long Trance Broken After sleeping almost continu- ously for 105 days, Miss Hazel Schmidt, the 18 year old girl whose | strange case has puzzled physi- cians for weeks, was awake for five hours and ate three meals. She said she felt no ill effects from her slumber. Attending physicians say the girl's trance is broken, and that she soon will be herself again. When a store bargain is in- teresting enough to advertise, it’s quite likely to be interesting enough to investigate.
