LEGISLATIVE SCHEDULE
It is said amongst sources in Québec that the House of Commons will hold its first session during the final week of October, during which motions of supply will be dealt with. A second session will begin in February. The provincial legislatures are due to meet during the Dominion intersession.
CONSERVTIVES UPSET AT CAMERON
Conservatives have turned on Hon. Matthew Crooks Cameron (Provincial Secretary and Registrar, Ontario) following his defeat in race for the House of Commons in North Ontario.
Cameron is criticized by the Toronto Leader for relying “too much on purity of reputation” and refusing to engage in “the ordinary and necessary means of carrying an election”.
In the context of the current campaign one can only draw the conclusion that Mr. Cameron has drawn the ire of Conservatives for failing to engage in the same tactics of purchasing votes as others of that ilk.
