AUGUST 28. 1915- 'ins can Dui-:MMA On thc plan that desperate diseases necessitate desper- ate remedies, the sick and sorry Grit candidates held a second conclave in the city yesterday, in order to come to some arrangement for the selection of ii leader and 10 agree upon some platform on which to appeal to the electorate. It is one of the most extraordinary circum- stances in the history of Canadian politics that a part? should.be formed and a policy ad0l>1€d- 31101' the 515’ solution of the Legislature and within three weeks of the election. Up till yesterday there was no recognised Opposition to the Government, no leader whatever, and no policy. Candidates were thrust, or allowed themselves to be thrust, on unwilling constituencies higgilty-plggilty. and then when some thirty nondescripts had been thus get together, they set about selecting a head and devising a common programme as an excuse for seeking the sutirngcs of the electors. The choice as leader fell upon Mr Benjamen Rogers, who, at the age of seventy-eight, when most men should be enjoying a well-earned 110106 far nienre, 'has plunged into the vortex of a. political campaign. Mr Rogers is just as good a choice as could have been made and has just as much chance of “making good ” as any other of the many aspiraiits to political fame who find themselves included in his unwilling following. But what about a programme? This also was discussed in draft, but so far has not seen the light Of ‘lily-` Tile electors rightly will be highly suspicious of any spvacially prepared political manifesto submitted~under such extra- ordinary circumstances. lt cannot possibly be a considered policy and must necessarily partake ol' a "catch-vote" political extravaganza, produced merely for the purpose of effect. A crowd which was originally attracted to the contest merely by “ the rustic of thc hay," and which other- wise had absolutely no reason for existence, may be depended upon to produce something llamboyantly attrac- tive to submit to the country as an inducement to accept the candiilatcs at something more than their face value. lint wc must, perforce, wait and soc. _._____._._____Ol.._._l 1 ROAD DlS'l`RIC'l`S’ GUN FUND As will be seen elsewhere in this paper the Road Districts Machine Gun Fund, previously referred to, has been opened und already there has been a substantial response t`rom thc neighbourhood in which it originated, Rcrl Point, and 'many encouraging letters to Mr Bruce, who intiated the move, from many roadmasters throughout the province. A magnificent example has been set by the Cavendish Presbyterian Congregation, who in a few days contributed the very generous sum oi’ $1,160, n thousand dollars of which goes to buy a gun and the remainder to the Patriotic Society. The Cavendisli Congregation, as far as material wealth is concerned, is an ordinary, fairly well off country congregation, oi’ perhaps little, if any, above the average population of country congregations. Measured by its generous gift, however, it towers high above anything yet accomplished by any similar organisation in the province and has given a splendid demonstration of what may be done by ai loyal people under capable and willing! leader- ship, Wo have no doubt that every part of the province is its loyal and patriotic as Cavendish, as sensible of the peril of the Empire, and as anxious to do its bit in bringing the war to ii successful termination. But neither loyalty nor willingness will avail without leadership and co-opera- tion. Cavendish evidently had both as- their splendid gift to the lsland's sons and to the Empire proves. Many of the roadmasters throughout the province have already expressed their hearty sympathy with the Road Districts Machine Gun Fund and we have no doubt the others will ulso take an active part in it. In this way the fund is already in the hands of an organisation and we feel assured that therc will be a liberal response. If cncli district does its part even to the extent of halt the Ffiiiponsc given by Red Point, there will he no trouble in raising a fund suilicicnt for several guna. The main thing is to go to work at once. To quote from a recent address given by the wcll-kiiowii author, Ralph Connor: lf you have iillyiiliflil 10 do that you can do, if you have anything to give that you can give, to put in the scale for the Empire, do it within the next fe`w days.
