had a continuous existence for so long a period Few er still have held to the same princi ples and have been by the same family for anything like to long a lime The result is that the Wit ness enjoys a loyal constituency that cannot be tempted to leave it in fa vor of any other publications A newspaper published on the Wit ness lines needs the support of those who arc to pay its subscrip tion price for he reason that it vol untarily foregoes in the interest of its subscribers much revenue from pernicious advertisements etc that other publications accept regardless of their readers We

administration compared with Conservative inaction awl un wise obstruction as portrayed by Hon Mr Ross at his opening deliver ance at on the Decern- followed a couple of days later at proclaim him to be he man Ontario needs today and has inspired a feeling ol inner conscious ness that the old warhorse who- has been thirtytwo years in the sad dle will be a winner when the votes are polled on the of Jan uary The political horizon is fast becoming cleared and the average elector has no love for the domina tion of such men as in the Provincial administration of Ontario day it is tiling more and more apparent that the electorate- are not going to forget that the chief question for is the establishment and maintenance of honest govern ment That this has been will continue he secured under he Pre miership of Hon Mr Ross even the most supporters of the Whit ney combination will not attempt to gainsay With all the license Op position no pretense of personal cor ruption of fraud is suggested against of the Liberal Administra tion and no intimation or assurance of betterment has been promised by the Ontario Conservative leader Corruption within party lines is not singular to either party but this can cured if not condoned This however is not be compared with possible administrative mistakes that would alienate the wealth which if properly guarded is destined to re lieve public burdens of the Pro vince for generations yet unborn The exploitation of our mineral wealth by such men as the Opposition papers foreshadow as a possible Minister of Mines is quite sufficient to indicate how readily the vast heritage of On tario would become the holdings of immense corporations and combines to the great disadvantage of the country Our advice therefore is by the grand old man who stood by the Province for over thir ty years and whose record as an honest man remains untarnished It a record of which Ontario need not be mid the Department of Agriculture to know that the work of

factories and throughout the Province have during the paurt eipebded at leant 125000 In Improvements fuliy SiO- more than the proceeding year The expenditure of such a amount of moneyin a season of
