It is difficult to prophecy the reâ€" sult of an election but reports from all parts of the riding of North York inâ€" dicate that there is a decided trend of public opinion in favor of Harry Sifton and the Liberal Party.

Hon. W. L. Mackenzie King and William Mulock, K. C. were the speakers. The candidate was accorded an enthusiasâ€" tic reception and was loudly cheered as he made his appeal to the electors. The Liberal leader in the opinion of many present delivered one of the most masterly addresses of his car- reer. In a clear and concisive man- ner he placed before the vast audience the issue of the present campaign. He dealt at considerable length with the administration of the customs de- partment, the constitutional issue, the Robb biidget, and the splendid record of the Liberal administration which had succeeded in reducing the expen- diture, in reducing the public debt. and in reducing taxation. He paid glowing tribute to Harry Sifton the the Liberal Candidate for North York and declared that it would not be long before he would be called to enter the Dominion Cabinet.

SHFTON WELL REMEM TEE HESTORIC RENEW 0F NWTH YORK Thornhill (Special to The Liberal) To have lived in Richmond Hi1} for the past five years and yet to have no one in the village apparently know where they resided is the novel ex- perience of a Benson Ave family. The family have lived in the same place for five years but when some drisitors from Toronto endeavored to -find them no one could volunteer the information as to where the family lived and the visitors had to return to the city. Meetings have been held in all parts of the riding and evm‘ywhere he has spoken he has won not only the affection and admiration but the support of many electors who former- ly voted» Conservative. “The time has come,” said a prominent resident of the county, “when we must pay less attention to the old style cam- paigner with the glad hand at elec- tion time and place a premium on ability sincerity and character in choosing our members of parliament On Saturday it was announced that Miss Elizabeth Brown of Richmond Hill, as Thursday’s winner of a Ryrie Birks pearl necklace, at the Toronto Exhibition. Each day one handsome pearl neck- lace is given to the person who reg- isters the nearest guess on the num- ber of pearls in the treasure box at the Pearl Soap Exhibit at the C. N. E. vativc party at this time. The Robb budget has made an effective appeal to every elector and the reductions in taxation accomplished along with a reduction in the public debt are to the credit of the Liberal administra- tion. A good many people feel that the Canadian National Railways are safe only in the hands of a Liberal government and look with suspicion upon. the entry into Mr. Meighens cabinet of Mr. Patenaude and Mr. Black who are regarded as enemies of the national road. To the indepen- dent elector who is inclined to vote. “man” rather than “party” Mr. Sif- ton has made a favorable impression. He is a young man of many admir- able qualities and promises to go far, and to play an important part in the public life of this country. It is felt that this is the only type of repres- entatiVe worthy of the great riding of North York. The Liberal candi- date has made no rash promises, he has indulged in no unfair tactics and although he has been subject to hit- ter opposition even his opponents ad- mit he is a young man of sterling character with a record which is above reproach. Mr. Sifton appeals to every elector in North York for their vote and influence and prom- Aises in return that he will give the very best of his ability to the task of representing North York in the House of Commons. At Last Electors of North York will have the opportunity of hear- ing the two candidates for parliamentary honors on the same platform at the arena!
