FRIDAY, MARCH 8 Not only in Prince Rupert and in Stewart is the Conserva- live party split up into factions, but in other parts of the province they are beginning to split up, and we shall hear more of this from day to day as the campaign warms up. And the Liberal party of the province is recognized by the voters generally as a great fighting force whose vitality and virility is in close touch with the needs of the masses, their greatest need at the present ume being freedom from the thraldom of the Two-Man govern- ment. Liberalism is the greatest political-educational force there is in this province, and it can be hoped that by force of its own numbers and the aid of a quickened public opinion a great vic- tory will be won in this campaign. There will be aid from the Conservatives themselves, from those free to think for themselves and with sufficient manhood to act independently for the public good, scorning the bribes of extravagant patronage. C. M. Woodworth, who gave his name to our Woodworth Lake, is a leading bar- rister of Vancouver and at one time president of the Conservative Here is an instance: Contract rates | Platform of the Liberals of British Columbia =<===Adopted at the Vancouver Convention, March 1st, 1912-— 1.

Mr. Woodworth is a leading member of his party in such an important city as Vancouver, and yet he thus frankly and honestly expresses his independence; his desire to do something more calculated to meet public needs than can possibly be ex- pected: from the Two-Man government. Even the Vancouver Province, well known as the leading government organ, is undoubtedly listening to the call of duty rather than blindly following the whistle of its party leader.
