Autumn colors brighten ‘thelsnd- ticapes oi Cape lBretom-as those of our own island! They suggest better prospects for industry and trade.

Conservatives in Cape lBretou, as in .P_ E. island and elsewhere, bow to the will of the majority as ex- pressed at the polls and will, there can be no doubt, unite in a genuine error; to promote the wialfare of the country by industry, en erprisé and profitable trade.
