individual agents on board steamships.Summing up one such trip, « wcman agent of the commission said :\u2014\u2018\u201cDuring 12 dave in the sieerage I lived in adis order and in surroundings that

friends from this province tu ces that the forty-five per cent.of the total vote given at the last election for the Conservative parly was increased next time to fifty-five and the nuriber of members accordingly.Nr.Rodolphe Forget, M.said that it was an impossibility to dream of carrying the Dominion without the voting assist ance of the provinee of Quebec and furthermore that Quebec would never

counted upon it largely for support and why whould a different policy so largely prevail at she prevent time.Mr.Forget stated that at the last clection eleven counties had been won and twelve more electoral divisions were lost by a total majority of only five hundred votes.Future success for the Congervatives required a thorough reorganir- ation of the party in this province.Mr.Campbell Lane gave his experience as regards the present political situation in this province.Mr.Lane paid tribute to the lasting fidelity of the French-Canadian Conservatives who election after elsction had gone to the polls and voted agsinst Sir Wilfrid Laurier and his candidates.He wanted to emphasise the Presi dent's remarke, who had declared very truthfully that cultivate the Wet as you will a good delegation must He secured from Quebec if the Conservative party wishes to get back to power.When examined at close range the Laurier cry was not, he said, so formidable as outsiders believed, Mr.Lane again taking the groued that a vigorovs organization would sucosss fully prevail against the cry in question.He did not hesitate to declare that if it were not for certain men like Mr.Forget, Mr.Monk, Mr.Ames, Mr.Price, Mr.Perley, and a few more whose persobality and not party atrength had hrought them through there would have been a clean sweep for the opporing forces, consequently the sooner men from the outside as well as those from within found a remedy for the existing state of affairs the The men will leave Toronte on for They Organization was the keynote of better it will be ior the (\u2018onservative party as a whole.| Dr.Daniel, M.P.fur St.Jobn N.Bthought that the lack of à perty was the main cause for \u201cdefeat\u201d in New Brunswich at the last election.This, however, had teeii reseed.and ie promised] hie hearts that a.majority would im returned next time to support the Couservative party.He said that the present delegation at Ottawa on thy Opposition side of the House was the best he had ever seen, and the men from Quebec were amongut the brightest and ablest iu Parliament, Mr.0.8.Crocket, MP.for York, N.B.did not believe any party could win without 8 vigorous press, and that should be the first care of the Conseryatives of this province.Nr.Crovket was firmly of the opinion that this was Sir Wilfrid Laurier's last term as Prime Minister, as his pres: tige had been greatly damaged during the few weeks Parliament had been in session.Mr.Taylor, M.P.from British Columbis, surprised his hearers by au- nouncing that he was a native of the county of Dorchester and wax cone sequently very much interested in the progress of the Conservative party in Quebec.Speaking of the Conservative victory in his province.Mr.Taylor said that defeat had only heen a stimulant and he haped that it would have the tame effect in the provinez ol Quebec.After the next vensus he expected that British Columbia would have fifteen members in the House of Commons, and he believed that they would all be Convervatives, Speaking of the eleven Quebec Conservatives, he said that taking Sir Wilfrid out of the case no eleven members from the Liberal side could compare with those who champion the Conservative cause trom the province of Quebec in the present Parliament.He would never believe that the province which had sent Cartier, Lafontaine and Chaplesu tay public life would long remain under the present regime.Mr.Taylor stated that in 1904 he had heen defeated bp 104, yet in 1908 he won by over sight hundred votes, and it was all due to organization, consequently he felt that the Quebec friends should be up and doing.Capt.Wallace, N.P., then spoke, and be, too, said that orgenization was ahsolutely necessary if a party wished to reach power.They were not well organized at the lant election in Ontario.They had won seats from the Grits, but then they had lost ten or twelve which they never expected to lose.\u2018Mr.Arthur Moighen.MP, who caused Sir Wilfrid Laurier to pass a very uncomfortable half hour in the Commons last week, was then called upon and he declared his helief that no more loyal perty men came from any section of the Dominion than those from the provinces of Quebec.BITTEN BY MAD DOG Galt, Ont., Dec.11\u2014Charles Me- Keown, son of Wallace MeKeown, Park Avenue, Andrew Wright, Netcalf street, Wm.W.Windman, Samuelson street, Bert
