A public meeting under the
auspices of the Usk Liberal As-
sociation took placein the hall on
Monday, when Hon. A. M. Man-
son, Attorney-General, and Dr.
H. CG. Wrinch, the Liberal candi-
date for Skeena, addressed those
present on. political matters of
moment. An able refutation was
entered into of the third party
charges, whose misleading state-
ments were drastically treated.
Dr. Wrinch gave his opinion of
the administration of the province
under the present government
and judged it entirely on its
works. He was satistied to sup-
port it, with a view to the further
advancement of its: policies, of
which its social legislation led
the Dominion, while its financiak
standing: was of the best. A
large number attended, especially
the ladies, despite the handicap
of meeting at midday, when most

of the population was working.

In the absence of the President,
