IN POLITICS OF
ALBERTA NOW
No Trace Of Nonpartisan
League Shown, Says Stall
man After Canadian Trip.

A wholly farmer government, more
conservative in operation than it's pre-
decessor, without trace of the Non
partisan league apparent in it's pro-
gram and determined to enforce rigid
economies in government business, is
the description given Of the new re-
CINE in Alberta by Robert j. Stall
man, Greaet Falls manager of the
Wells Dickey Co, after spending
some time in Edmonton and other do
minion cities. The new Alberta gov
eminent only recently took over the
reins with the inauguration of Premier
Greenfield, himself practical farmer.
The farmers ticket was placed in
the election by the United Farmers of
Alberta and made clean sweep of
every office. Many provincial offices
are filled by appointment and in select
ing his cabinet the premier is salad
to have followed political lines close
". As the new government proceeds
further in placing its ideas into pract-
ice and in working out its administra-
tive program, the most pronounced
results is growing tendency towards
conservatism, Mr.. Stallman learned.
No FractionaIjsm In Vote.
There is not evident the least bit
terness towards the new government
and with one possible exception all Of
the big Alberta newspapers are support
ing Premier Greenfields administra-
ton" said Mr.. Stallman Monday.
Although the successful ticket was
backed by the farmers organization, |
was told that no factionalism entered
into the election and it was apparent
that this was greatly to the new pre-
mier's advantage in putting his pro-
gram into effect.
'The farmer ticket swept the boards
in the election and this element of the
PROVINCES population is now absolute
ly in control. Whispers at first that
the organization which backed the
ticket was impregnated with Non-par-
tisan ideas has proved to be entirely
wrong. so far as any developments
show as yet. The thing that seems to
impress the average Canadian more
than anything else connected with the
elections results is that the new adj
ministration is more inclined towards
conservatism than its predecessor.
There is not trace Of radicalism in
evidence and there is general belief
IN Alberta that the Greenfield govern
ment to promised economies. Pre-

lutely to promised economies. Pre-

Wheat Averages II Bushels.
That portion of Alberta lying north
of Calgary has an enormous crop. al
though lighter returns in the southern
portion tend materially to reduce the
average acre wheat yield, Mr.. Stallman
stated The average acre yield will be
about II bushels. which does not at all

part.

roads say they have already hauled
