One of the reasons that canadians were enough to Wear fore Well e n visit Nir Manitoba politician whose methods of making party capital Are notoriously unscrupulous.

There Are 328 persons on the special train and of these not More than a dozen Are ladies. Various committees were in session during the Day and the papers which have been prepared by individual representatives for presentation at Ott Awa were read.
