What Other People Think
The Monday Night Non-P artizan Meet

ing.
To the Editor of The Journal.
The conditions surrounding the adver-
tised non,partizan citizens meeting at
the Auditorium next Monday evening
are simply these:
The committee of business men in
terested in Mayor Jones' election de-
clded, before. the primary election oc-
CURED, that, in case Mayor Jones were
nominated, there should be held on some
evening prior to the general election, a
citizens non-partizan meeting, to which
should be invited all those, irrespective
of party affiliations, who favored his
reelection; and, Immediately after his
nomination, the Auditorium was secured
for the Monday evening Immediately
preceding election day. The business
men S committee takes full responsible
ity for the plan adopted.
1t may not be generally known, but
1t is nevertheless fact, that generous
contributions of time, service and
money in the interest of Mayor jones'
reelection have been made by leading
democrats of the city. AS a representa-
tive business mems committee we have
no apologies to make for advertising a
straight out andout citizens meeting
and, by the way, it is going to be a
hummer.
1nele is not the slightest disposition
en- the part of the committee to ignore
cny one-least of all Senator Nelson.
e. 1t must be evident that so-called citi-
zens' meeting would be a farce unless
political lines were entirely Obliterated
and the speakers were thoroly repre-
sentative Of the citizenship at large,
irrespective of party.
This IS to be home meeting, a meet
ing of our own citizens, addressed by
our own citizens, on matters connected
with our own civic affairs; national
and state politics are not to be dis
cussed or referred to. We are simply
carrying. out the original plan of hold
ing citizens meeting and we have
meeting unless we eliminated all polit-
zeal coloring. In fact, we have found

LAURIER'S MAN WINS
Deposed Minister of Finance Victor
Over Conservative.

Liverpool, N. S., Nov. 1.-The ad.
mlnlstration of Sir Wilfrid Laurier won
pronounced victory in by-election
yesterday to fill the vacancy in the
federal parliament caused by the IN
seating Of W. s. Fielding, finance min.
lister and liberal leader in Nova Scotia
for Irregularities, committed by his
agents in the general election. Mr.
Fielding was reelected by more than
1000 majority over DR.. W. G. Weldon,
the. conservative candidate.
The defeat of Weldon by so decisive
a vote is attributed to the detection of
hundreds Of conservatives who were
not in favor Of any opposition to the
return of the finance minister. The de.
feated candidate is dean Of the law
school of Dalhousie university.
