_ ~Up to Voters

Premter Tolainte has annoniiced that

Nov. 2, (Thursday). will be the day
for the people of. British Columbia’ to
go to the ‘polls and select the men, .or
women, who shall form the next Jegts-
lative. assembly. At the same time-ho
called for a “meeting of the ‘Conserve-
tive Association for today” (Wednes-
day). ‘ ;
. No two announcements ever meant
so much to this province. The election
‘is, probably ‘the. most important ever
called, and the results cannot be fore-
told at. the present writing. But: so
serious is the situation that it behooves
every elector to consider very care-
fuly what they are about. What they
do-on November: 2 cannot be undone
for four or five years, and the results
of those years may not be undone for
generations, Many new theories will
be and have been introduced, and. a
‘lot of old things dressed up: in. new
clothes are being forced on the people.
Then there is the steady, stable form.
of gover nment. and the fonest way of
doing things.

Threshing: ‘days’ are now at hand.
(politically) and November 2 is the
day the grain goes to the cleaner and
the chaff is separated from :the good
grain, “The separator needs to be in.
good working’ order, and plenty of

power on the blower.
