Garden of Vancouver, 18 | the Conservative candidate. The campalgn has been unique in_the | history of Parliamentary contests in Can- ada. Although the result affects only a | single seat in the House of Commons, ex- | traordinary efforts to win have been made by both parties. Leaders on both stdes came all the way from Ottawa to par- | ticipate in the contest. The opposition is | especially anxlous to administer a rebuke to the ¥rench-Canadians for so largely | | supporting the Premier of their own race, }‘ | Sir Wilfrid Laurier, whose greatest m: | Jority was gained trom Quebec.. The Gov ernment desires to punish the Conserv atives for having brought up the ques tions of race and creed in the .analys of the Liberal majority. | A tremendous amount of racial and re- | ligious strife has been engendered by the | campaign.
