THE FIGHT. ELECTIONS
ONDAY.

Toronto. ont. Dec. 9.-The prov
inclal campaign in ontario closed to-
day and ON Monday the voters will go
To the polls To decide whether the ad-
ministration OF Sir James Whitney
shall continue In power or give way
to the Liberals. During the past few
weeks the fight has become much
more spirited than was promised at
the outset. At the beginning of the
campaign the Liberals naturally felt
the discouragement resulting from the
defeat of their party I'm the Dominion
elections. II was believed at first that
they would be unable 10 organize
strongly against whitney They were
further handicapped by the loss of their
veteran leader. a. G.. Mackay, who re-
tired at the beginning OF the campaign.
But new leader was chosen i'm the

Liberal campaign. Ontario has al

but whether the people are ready to
go to the lengths advocated in the
Rowell platform remains TO be seen.
Sir James whitney is relying for vic
tory chiefly on the progressive record
Of his administration. Among other
things he advocates the discontinue
ance OF the hydro electric power COM
mission and the creation of a new de-
partment Of government with a cabinet
minister at the head to take over the

Michigan interested i'm increasing the
farming wealth of the state and the
population.
IF we could sell state lands on land
contracts, | believe we could accom-

about the settlement of many good

Why isn't IL feasible for the state Ia
sell land on 2O-year contract, the
purchaser to pay all taxes and make
his payments every five years with in
tcrest at per cent. AS il is at pres
ent, we sell the land to spectators
and they In turn sell land to settlers
az increased prices. which Is to the
detriment of the settler.
1T would not i'm any way endan-
ger the states interest I'm the lands
and would make it much easier for
prospective settlers to secure n chance

people TO homestead the poor land
Nothing is gained. and there Is the ex-
pense of inspection. BY selling direc'

to pay the state every FIVE years II
seems To me there would be unrivai-
cd opportunities for securing many

prediction, based upon information

exclaimed the newcomer, in a thin,
high, weepy voice.
"Br-r-r-r!" grumbled the general,

The newcomer glided in. His long,
dank hair hung down to his collar, his
white, thin hands plucked with melan-
choly grace at the roycroft tie he was

set deep in his head, cleaned weirdly.
