 fore Parliament adjourned, adopted 8 novel plan for limited woman's suf- frage frankly designed to insure the success of the unionist candi- dates. Every woman who has a husband. son or brother at present in the Canadian army or one who served with the Canadian army and was either killed or discharged for disability is entitled to vote, but no others. While there is provision for the taking of the vote of the sol diefs overseas, the practical diff culties are such that the govern ment was fearful that a full vote could not be obtained.
 Present indications are that Laur- fer will sweep the provinces of Que bee and will capture some seats in those districts in Ontario and the Maritime provinces where French Canadians influence is strong; also a few seats in the west where there are special reasons for dissatisfac- ton with the government; but that the majority obtained by the Union government in the Maritime pro yinces and the West, added to the large majority that it is sure to re ceive in Ontario will be sufficient to return it to power.
