Hon. S. F. Tolmie New Leader of - Conservatives eee, Kamloops Convention Did Much Business of Im- portance to Party After a long hard struggle the Conservatives in convention at Kamloops offered the Jeadership of the party in the province to Hon. F. S. Tomlie, M. P., of Victoria, the unanimous nomina- tion and jt was accepted. The convention was a large one and great enthusiasm was dis- played by the delegates. Atthe beginning of the convention W. J; Bowser withdrew ‘his name as a cantestant for the leadership. This left the field open for Leon J. Ladner, Senator Taylor, Col. Nelson Speneer and Col. Davies, Six ballots were taken and each time Mr. Ladner lead bry 2 small margin but not, enough to win, although once he was only ten short of victory. Senator Taylor was the second choice with Col, Spencer and Col. Davies fighting it out for last place. After.the sixth ballot, which was taken Wednesday evening and there was no sign of break- the deadlock Mr, Ladner pro- posed thatthe leadership be’ “of: fered unanimously to Hon, fF. S, Tolmie. A committee pot busy with Mr..Tolmie and although he refused all along to consider the position, he yielded to the wish of the convention which repre- sented every district in the pro- vince and was unanimuus. The convention then got down to-business. In future the party will be the Conservative party with no frills attached. The as- sociation is to meet annually in future. The party favors old age pensions and strongly favors a conference of premiers to work out x system that would be fair and equitable tc ail provinces. A number of other matters re- lating to the policy of the party were also before the convention. Rev. T. D. Proctor expects his assistant, Capt. Parsons, back about Dec. 16. The Captain will devote his time chiefly to the Indian work, thus giving Rev, Proctor more time for the white work throughout the district. The Reason Why Owing to the mechanical staff being unavoidably ab-. sent most ofthe week the 6th - instalment of Rev. Proctor’s .. trip is being. held over‘until: - next week. The Editor hav- ing todo the work himself, and being short of time, the’ new labor-saving- machine is also‘ holidaying. * again.” We. will all: be on the Job ‘rain for text week, Lees Arthur Willan a recitation. ryoungsters sang a chorus and a Community Hall Opened With a | Concert-Dance The community hall in New Hazelton was formally openedon Friday evening with a concert and a dance at which there was avery fair attendance including several young people from Hazel- ton, Members of the league did a lot 6f work cleaning out the old building and preparing for the opening.
