Rapidly the movement spread. The platform was unant- mously Indorsed at annual conven- tions of the United Farmers of On- tario, the Manitoba Grain (rowers tion, the Saskatchewan Grain w association and the United Farmers of Alberta. Entering the Ontarto provincial arena recently, the United Farmers wiped out the old established con- servative regime. A farmer, E. C. Drury, is prime minister of the province, and presides over a cabinet of farmers and labormen, The slow-moving habitant of French Canada is organizing for political action, From the marttime provinces only this week comes word of the formation of a farmers’ pollt.| teal party, to link up with the far- mers of Ontario and the West.

Labor se- cured no distinct representation in the house of commons, altho there were a few labor members ncattered in the provincial logislatures, The success of the farmers in On- tario, however, saw an equivalent success of the labor party in the same province. Prior to the provin- celal elections in October last, there was only one labor member in the Ontario legislature. There are now 11 labor members and over 40 farmers. Temporarily they have united to form a grovern- ment. But it is doubtful if that unity can be maintained, ARCADE BUILDING SECOND AVENUE Over the Rhodes Co. - i Si arg TAKE THE ELEVAT LOTHIE
