ister after the but a staunch Friend and supporter of the govern ment and one in an excellent position to know the real admits that this is All sir John who is in touch with the inner circles of the government admits in an article in the november Issue of the nineteenth Century that the Meighen government has Tio Hope whatever of carrying the it is generally he that the Only Renja ining strongholds of the Liberal conservative party Are Ontario and British he recalls that the conservatives won Only 26 out of the 131 Ontario at the last provincial and he intimates while whole thirteen constituencies in Brit ish Columbia were represented by government supporters before Disso support for the party to that extent cannot be expected after the unfortunately there Are a Good Many face a much More hopeful the chances arc that at least three fourths of the 43 constituencies in Saskatchewan and Alberta will be carried by the and that the will havea solid Western Block in parliament Only less Power Ful than the solid Liberal Block from no one who has followed the poli tical situation at had any other View of the general prospects of the government than that expressed by sir John but it is a Little surprising to see such a Frank admission from one who is in close touch with the government there Are constituencies n Manitoba in which it is easily understandable that an elector

that and the Mere fact of the gentlemen being sent to Ottawa would not mean that those who sent them there had become converts to their absurd and doctrinaire what labor is getting is a couple of
