unknown reason. lead him 10 believe ,ha.
some day he will he a cabinet minister.
Doing nothing by halves he has snsered
the parliamentary list in the same eager,
alert and unique manner which has made
him a power in the city. The irs, thing
to do in order to become a properly ac-
eepted candidate for parliament Is to
nurse the constituency which the aspir-

wants 10 represent The county in which
he was horn He hopes when he becomes
a member Of parliament 10 pass an old

in its conception as IL is impracsicable.
