The keen contest for the privilege of carrying the Conservative colours at the next federal election was in itself a significant sign of the limes.

Enlistment Figure

The Moncton Transcript maltcs the claim on behalf of the Province of New Brunswick that it “leads the Dominion in the percentage of both voluntary’ ciilistmciits and in the number called up for compulsory military" triiiiiiiig." Figures available at the moment, it says", are those for earlier in the year, but it is believed that there has been little change in the percentage or in the relative standings of the various military districts.

\\liilc coiiiplimciiliiig New Brunswick on its slioiviiig, it must again be pointed out that Prince lidward Island's claim to the greatest number of ciilistmculs pcr population still goes unchal- lciigcd. 'l'liis Province is liiikctl with .\'ova Sco- tio lll .\lilil. _v District .\'u. b, which accounts for tlic fact that \\c have iicvcr been ablc to get official credit 'f<ii' this achievement.

— EDITORIAL NOTES .-

judging by yesterday's unbounded enthusi- asm, "the flowing-tide" is with the Progressive Conservatives.

a it a it A great deal of fuss is being made of, and unnecessary free publicity given to the iuusli- iooni socialist C.C.F.’s, Better concentrate on the magnificent Bracken policies than waste time and space on socialistic eccentricities.

Mr. Bracken predicts a bright f'iturc for Czmatla if only the people would take advantage of opportunities. “Our first consideration should be Canada," he told a Yorkstoii, Sask., audience. “Not French-speaking Canada, not English-speaking Canada, but Canada, a Cati- adian Canada.
