Reciprocity will not be approved greatly at the September polls, but it will be most notably approved by the popular vote of Ontario.

Mackenzie King. He was nomi- nated by a gathering of delegates that crowded the Town Hall, and the manner in which the four hundred delegates gave vent to their enthusiasm promised a great Liberal victory on September 21. Enthusiastic Nomination Durham.—South Grey Liberals nomineted Mr. H.H. Miller, M. P., amid great enthusiasm here. Suc- cess wes written all over the convention, The Toronto News (Tory) is doing good work for reciprocity.

HOW THE CAMPAIGN GOES — ALL OVER THE DOMINION nd Opinion from the Other Side of the Rockies — People Everywhere Clamor for Removal of Taxes from Food By Unanimous Vote Montreal, Aug. 30.— Hon. Syd- ney Fisher, Minisicr of Agriculture, has been chosen again by unani- mous vote, as the Liberal standard- bearer in Brome county. From early morning until late today farmers drove in from the outlying districts in order to en- dorse the urarimous choice of the convention. Mr. Fisher will be opposed by Major G. H. Baker, a young lawyer from Montreal. The men who are raising the annexation cry seem to have for- gotten that Abraham Lincoln said: “You can foo! some of the people all the time ard all the people some of the time, but you can’t fool all the people ail the time.” Tory Had Cold Feet Montreal, Aug. 29.—As the re- sult of a Conservative meeting at Thetford Mines, Dr. James Beauudet, the Conservative can- didate, today announced that he would not contest the constituency. Whether arother cendidate will be chosen has not yet developed, but it is assured that Mr. L. N Pacaud, the Liberal candidate, will be returned by a large majority.

BUT ONE LONE ALDERMAN __ MADE TRIP TO WOODWORTH It Was Not the Redoubtable Douglas This Time But The Little Lake is Only one out of all ihe noted nine city fathers of Prince Rupert at present advocating the Hydro- Electric Bylaw, has ever seen Lake Woodworth since the Hydro-Elec- tric idea was first mooted, if at,all. The indefatigable alderman in this case is Alderman Hilditch, the same Hilditch who had such a bad attack of cold feet the day Alderman Dougles did his record tramp round the Morse end Hays Creek watershed. Alderman Hil- ditch along with City McLennan and Licence Commis- sioner Joe Merryfield with other friends visited Woodworth ago, Pretty Stiff Trail Though not a steep one, the trail to Woodworth is pretty tough travelling in many places. It leads up alongside the creek throu- | Assessor not so long the Chairman of the Public Works Committee— But Rarely Visited Lovely Cascade To tempt more citizens to make this really picturesque and mildly adventurous excursion mention should be made of the magnificent waterfall which will be found at point some half. a mile from the outflow of Lake Woodworth.
