Clifford was tuned over to the police by two men who said they captured him after he aired r. pure from the hands of a woman EiJIlCIlYlZ» on a street corner. Psych astrists said he was suffering from repressive insanity. Cliflnrd was reported to have told the police. “I realize what I've done-J know why I'm under arrest, but I don't know Why l did it."

OTTAWA, Ont., July 24.—A fore- cast of the results of the General El- ection issued today from Conservative National Headquarters claims 134 Conservatives will be elected; 56 Lib- erals. l4 of various groups, and plac- es 41 in the doubtful column. The forecast is signed by General A. D. McRae, chief Whip and organizer of the Conservative party. The state- ment follows: This is my first and lost forecast of this election. I have purposely refrained from making any Pftdlcilflns until I should ‘have corn- plete report; before me. With these now to hand. l have no hesitation in predicting the defeat of the King

Government, and the return of Hon. R. B. Bennett with a Iood working majority over all other parties com- bined. A Conservative increase in ev- cry Province is promised. Confiden- tial reports Justify more optimistic expectations than 1 am quoting; Based on well considered returns. I predict that the Conservatives will carry 134 constituencies and they will also undoubtedly carry a. con- siderable number of those I have

Camouflage

(Halifax Jiercld)

What, in the long run, is to be public? Nothing. And that is exactly

gained by attompting to deceive the where the propagaudista "fall down."

Like the Bourbon kings. they appear to "learn nothing and forgot nothing"

in the progress of public events.

In this Province the people have seen some. extraordinary campaign: of misrepresentation within the past few you-i. and every one of those campaigns came to an iguomlnioue end. The public absolutely refused to

be deceived.

We note an article featured on the front page of the Charlottetown Patriot. issue July 19. i930. purporting fa give the public "cccuratw in- formation regarding Canadian trade figures. It ie bended "Foreign Trade is Up 51.152.843.825." and it says, "Canada's increase In total foreign trade (exports and imports) is shown by the following comparisons." The com-

parisons it gives are these: 1921-22 1928-29

31.501.731.341 2.654.575.l66

And to this the Patriot adds that trade treaties negotiated by the King Government have extended our export trade "beyond the wildest pre-war

WINNIPEG, Man, July 24.-"A definite swing in Western sentiment toward l-lon. R. B. Bennett and the Conservative cause," says the Winni- peg ‘Iribune and», “has been the 'outstanding feature of the week in the Dominion election campaign."- “Perhaps the most marked change in speculative summaries of both inter- {ested and detached observers has [been evidenced in Manitoba, where ,' three weeks ago the opinion that the Opposition would gain few seats would have been regarded as absurd. Today a turnover of this proportion is regarded as a possibility by num- bers/ ofshrewd observers from the ranks of the Government support- . ers."

ter, while they were on their way to’ the great meeting here last nightfi Mr. Bennett "and his party were de-' layed nearly two hours on the road! from Exeter to Owen Sound last‘ evening by a. series of tire punctures. The last trouble occurred about fif-f teen miles out of Owen Sound, and] when the punctured tire was exam- ined lator in the city something like a. dozen assorted nails and staples were found in it. The tire was torn to shreads in consequence of the ac- ticn of the nails and the fact of the sudden stopping and turning of the cars on the flat casing. The nails were in one of the back tires.

The car in which Mr. Bennett and his sister were riding belongs to Mr. C. A. C. Morine of Toronto and was being driven at a fair rapid rate in an effort ‘to make up the time lost by the first puncture. The sudden flattening of the tire turned the car completely around in the road and only expert handling saved COlllSlOlll with a telephone pole in the first

Mr. Bennett himself refuses to be- lieve that the occurrence was other.‘ than an accident, he depreciates th-Q suggestion that any political enemy could have been responsible and de- clares he does not believe it.- Th! tires were new, however. and auto- mobile men say that even if the ca! had gone over a whole pile of nails it would not have picked up as many as were in the tire. They subscriba to the view that some of them must have been driven into the tire,
