‘THE BYE-ELECTIONS. "

‘ 'l‘re Bye-elections in Colchester, "N."S., and St.

ed in yesterday morning’s "Guardian, were a strik- ing victory for the Meighen Government. -

In St. John-Aalbert it was a straight contest be- .tween the Meighenfgovernment and the MacKenzie King Liberals. The defeat of the Liberal candidate was a foregone conclusion. Dr. Emery h been pre- vailed upon by Mr. MacKenzie King to contest the election, after the inner circle of Liberals had con- eluded such a contest was useless, and he was so badly beaten that he lost his deposit. It was a severe and crushing defeat not so much for him as for his leader, multiplying eviwences of whose ullpopularity among the rank and-file of the party are steadily in-

In Colchester the situation was altogether differ ent, the contestan entirely new one in the Maritime Provinces. It was a straight fight. between the Un- ited Farmers party and the federal government and, as practically the whole county is agricultural and well organized as such no betterjconstituency could_ have been selected in Canada to test the quality of the present agrarian movement. It was antici ated that it would be a “stiff fight; the farmer can idate was a returned soldier who had won his stripes, pop ular and in every way an ideal candidate, the coun- Ity had been well organized; representatives of the

nited Farmers of Ontario lent a hand in the cam- paign, but the farmer candidate was defeated by a very large vote.

In this, as in the St. John-Albert election the result is a clear and emphatic endorsement of the policy and personnel of the Meighen government. The farmers of Colchester are united to a man on clear issues, on the issues in which they can clearly see advantage to themselves, to their province and to the dominion. They are not united in following the indefinite dictation of leaders whose policies are mere theories, whose aim is only too palpably self interest, The Crerar free trade scythe cuts too wide and too uncertain a swarth; there are too many pos- sibilities for destructiveness mixed in with those for constructiveness and the Colchester farmers wisely chose the certainties of the stable, definite, construct ive policy of the Meighen Government.

Hon. Mr. McCurdy' is to be congratulated on his magnificent victory the significance of which call- not be overestimated. Premier Meighen, who has in these two elections fought and won the first battles of his regime not only against his old time Liberal opponents who were so completely outclassed as to be negligible, but against a newly organized force

propriately illustrated with photographs of the pro- vincial oflicials, with photographs of His Royal High- ness the Duke of Connaught, Honorary President and His Excellency the Duke of Devonshire, Presi- dent of the Canadian Patriotic Fund. as first page il- lustrations.

“War came to Canada in August 1914," says the report, “with the unexpectedness of a thunder-- bolt. It had much the same result for the declaration left Canadians dazed and almost stupefied. S0 far as organization was concerned Canada was as unpre-l pared for war as a South Sea Islander for a snow- storm.”

War was declared on August 4th; on August, 6th the announcement was made that Canada’s con-’ tribution to the fighting forces would be 25.000 men. Within three days more than the required num-i ber had volunteered. Within two weeks patriotic so- cieties were or anized in Vancouver, Toronto, Moll- treal and St. J hn, pledged to look after the depend- |ents of those who had volunteered. How that little band of 25,000 men grew to an army of more than half a million, how patriotic societies sprang up over night in every city and town and village in. Canada is the story told in this fascinating report, the story that fuure generations, of Canadians will look back upon with pride and gratitude through centuries.

Canada contributed in all $38,l99,828.62 all of which, with the exception of $531,716.97 was paid out to dependents of our soldiers.

It must not be forgotten that the lCanadian Patriotic Fund is still in existence and performing a most valuable service in caring for many families that are suffering disabilities which do not come within the sphere of government pensions. This ls perahps not as generally known as it ought to be and ill is ‘t e desire of the Patriotic Fund.\that their at- tention should be called "to any needy cases. The |Fund is now paying regularly monthly allowances of from $10 to $150 to over 600 families and in adi- dition is making each month some 2000 emergency {grants to assist with the expenses for operations, ill- nesses, etc.
