One OF the greatest advocates OF a

American and Canadian. Standing
apart from many OF his Canadian
neighbors he has since his retirement
from Cornell university, nearly 40
years ago, stoutly maintained his an.
nexation views. Which accounts for
in large measure the harsh criticism
from the land OF his birth.
Ever a prodigious writer of recog

allow his 81 years to prevent hin,
from having his say about every ia.

of the Republican party half a century
ago would hardly know the party

Charlton had large lumber inter-

reality he was nationalist, the pio-

actuating Canada today.
He began political life as a protec-

enriched by the tariff he was bold
enough TO declare himself against
protection. As a debater, few cared
to draw swords with him in parlia-
