And it surely is not going too far to assume that Sir `Wilfrld gave him some lead, for ws llnd Can- non explaining to the electors that Laurier had "disapproved of the Na- tional Service scheme" and had only _French-Canadian race," says Cannon, ,HOW M_l`~ S€V1gny in himself is the most effective answer to this slander.. but we cannot imagine a better way of reducing French-Canadian ,influence in the Borden Cabinet than fc-r the electors of Dorcheste'i° to refuse to endorse the elevation oi’ Mi~.
