the Liberals a chance to administer the affairs of this .province,even

a definite platform. As this is written, the returns indicate that
Brewster’s followers, after many years in the cold shades of

And what attitude will the
Brewster administration take in
the matter of the famous writ?
Will the new government still
hold that the legislation passed
after March 14 is stiil illegal? If
so, how can the new members

dissolved. There are other inter-
eating questions with whieh the|

will watch their movements with
much interest.

adian honey is of unsurpassed

quality, and honey has become, |
