The conservative party in the present
campaign in Canada is fighting to restore
itself to power after being fifteen years
in opposition. Formally and officially the
organization is known as 1.-The liberal
conservative party In ordinary con-
versation it's adherents are called, and
call themselves tories"
In their habits of thought in their ira
dtions in their ardent imperialism and
their advocacy of a protective tariff the
Canadian tories are close akin to their
namesakes of England But the con-
servatiye party in Canada and the union
list party In Great Britain are not one
and the same Many Canadian tories
have sympathized with the Lloyd George
reforms in Great Britain. The Canadian
conservative party, under the leadership
of Mr.. Borden in the federal field and
Sir James Whitney in the province of
Ontario. is more or less committed to a
policy of government ownership of public
utilities, which would either in Great
Britain or the United States, be charac-
teriZed as radical.
When the provinces Of British North
America were federated into the Domin-
ion of Canada, in 1867.
Federation of the tories were in the
ascendancy, notwith-
AAo'AA~eS' standing the fact that
they had resisted the establishment of re-
sponsible self government in Ontario and
Quebec. The first premier of united Can
ada was Sir John A. Macdonald, now the
patron saint Of all Canadian tories. He
held Office from 1867 to 1873, when he
resigned because of a scandal growing
out of the projection of the Canadian
Pacific railway. He was succeeded by a
liberal premier, Alexander Mackenzie,
who held office from 1873 to 1878. The
Mackenzie government did not succeed
in overturning the fiscal or internal de-
Velopment policies initiated by Macdon-
aid. and its principal achievement was
the reform of the suffrage system and
the abolition of the property qualihca ton
for the electoral franchise
| The liberals were defeated after the
panic of 1873. and Sir John Macdonald
came again into power. remaining at the
hean OF the government until his death
