Lennox emerged from one of the most keenly contested campaigns in the history of the historic riding of North York with a majority over his Liberal op- ponent of about 400 votes, about 100 less than his majority over Rt. Hon. W. L. Mackenzie King in the election last year. Authentic detailed returns for the various polling sub-divisions could not be obtained for this issue but will be published in full next week. In the south part of ,the rid- ing the showing of the Liberal can- didate was exceptionally good and marked gains over last efiction were noted in Vaughan and Markham townships.

DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME LARGE ' CROWD HEARD ELECTION RESULTS other streets materially improved About 2000 residents of all see- ' If any proof were needed that Lib. eralism is very much alive in North York the monster gathering certain- ‘ly supplied the proof. Every section of the riding was represented and a more enthusiastic crowd could not even be imagined. It was a great tribute to the personality, the hon- esty and the integrity of Harry Sif- ton, to the Liberal party and to its leader, Rt. Hon. W. L. Mackenzie King. The Newmarket, Aurora and Stouff- ville bands were in attendance and rendered pleasing numbers during the evening. A pleasing feature was the introduction to the audience by the ca idate of his wife and young son. Th were given a mighty cheer lry the gathering. Harry Sifton the candidate sin- cerely thanked the vast audience for the splendid support accorded him on Tuesday and declared that the next time he would be victorious. “I am quite confident,” he said “with a little longer time in the riding the result would have been different. (I had no fear of the decision of the voterst had the privilege of meeting person- ally and discussing the issues; but it is not surprising that those who did not meet me when subjected to influâ€" ence of one kind and another could not see their way clear to vote for me. But I am with you now and I am going to stay with you. (Cheers) By the time the next election rolls around I will know you all a good deal better and I know we will win.” “It is a source of great satisfaction," said Mr. Sifton, “to know that we have played the game clean. Not one charge or insinuation has*been made against a Liberal worker any- where in the riding.” Among the speakers of the even- ing were Hon. Nelson Parliament, Joseph Singer, Wesley Williams, Warden Pearson, Chas, Collins, A. Hamilton, and W. A. Ward. All were unanimous in paying tribute to the splendid Liberal victory won throughout the Dominion and to the splendid clean manly and' vigorous campaign of the local candidate. A.'D. Bruce the capable and effic- ent campaign manager who has work- ed unceasingly since the commence- ment of the campaign ably acted as chairman. He said that what on the surface seemed defeat was really Vicâ€" tory. Harry Sifton had not won, but he was on the way. He urged all the 'workers to maintain their organ- ization so that next time they could start Where they left ofl’, and not have to start all over again. Early in the evening seats were at a premium and the gathering was about similar in size to the joint meeting held in the same hall on Friday last. When Mr. Sifton m’ount- ed the platform he was loudly cheer- ‘ed; old men waved their hats women shouted, boys whistl’ed, some had trumpets, some horns and the rest just cheered. It was a reception which was a tribute to the candidate who‘ in the strict sense of the term was defeated but in the hearts of the vast gathering was a “winner” in the true sense of the term. ‘A monster parade headed W the \Newmarket band started at Thornhill ‘and with shouts, cheers and honking of horns wended its way to Newmar- ket. Over one hundred cars took part in the parade and many more were waiting its arrival at Newmar- ket. “King “DID” Win” was the the slogan which was prominently displayed. Are the Liberals of North York downhearted? Over 4000 from every section of the riding who gathered in the’ Newmarket arena on Wednesday night to celebrate the Liberal victory at the polls witlr cheers and shouting answered NO. Liberal workers and Liberal voters gathered in thousands to do honor to the candidate, Mr. Har- ry Sifton, who carried the Liberal standard with credit to hirnSelf and to the party which he represented.

The Liberal Candidate In North York Who Came Through the Strenu- ous Campaign “Smiling” After Considerably Reducing The Majority of T. H. Lennox The Veteran Campaigner Toronto and the Yorks were somewhat out of tune in the Liberal sweep and went solid Conservative, although in other parts of Ontario the Liberals made substantial gains. Ontario has never had so many Liberal members as in the new house since the “reciprocity” election of 1911, when Sir Wilfrid Laurier was swept from power and his Ontario representation diminished from 36 to 13. In the wartime election of 1917 his following was practically wiped out. In 1921 the contest was. featured by the entry of the Progressives as a new political force in the province, and in that election the new party captured 24 seats, as compared with the Liberals 21, while the Conservatives carried 37 seats. In the election last October the Liberals took but 12 seats out 01' The Liberal Party won a decisive victory at the polls on Tuesday.
