A, Galliher, M. |��. Th.* Socialist candidate. S Shannon wns present, und A. Carney of Kaslo represented Hon. II. I-' Green, All of these ���gentlemen addressed the meeting, which was a good nn u'lWI a representative line. The audience .allowed an-lncllnation tn In1 noisy uhfe Mr. Retallack was delivering his opening address, but Mr. R. Hodge had 110 diffloulty in maintaining order und outside of a numbor of Interruptinnj mid denials when the (speaker wool! refer *tb his great strength in the lower part of the riding, he got a very good hearing. The audience did not seem friendly disposed, however, '"ward the Liberal candidate, and his followers, if he had any, kept mum. Mr. Shannon< on the contrary, appeared to have a number of followers scattered through the large audience '' and got hearty applause at times, but the great bulk ofthe applause was saved for Mr. (Jurney, who supported the candidature of Hon. II. F. Green. When Mr. Carney was called on he was unable to speak for several minutes owing to the continued ebeetlng for Hon. Mr. Green and him- ' self. Mr. Carney made a very good short speech in which hu did his chieftain no discredit. The ���mootlng'elnsed at 11 with very hearty cheers for Hon. Mr. Green and Mr. Shannon. As Stated above, if Mr. Retallack had auy supporters present they were careful not to show their colors, but W. A, Galliher certainly had a good many admirers present, und he was given a unanimous voto of thanks ou the pru- nosal nf J. C. Mm �� posal of j, C Murray. On Friday night, September 25th, , ito- politicians again gathered at Trout. j Lake, the meeting being called by the 1 Liberal candidate. John L. Retallack. The speakers present along with candidates Retallack and Shannon, were A. Carney of Kaslo. representing Hon. K. K. Green, and W. A. Galliher, M. P., wbo spoke on behalf of Mr. Retallack. .1. .1. Langs Halt occupied the chair; and at 8 p. in. introduced John L. Refill* hiek. wlio occupied about three fourths of ai, hour telling the large audience what bad men wore Hon. Mr. Green and Mr. Shannon The speaker dealt largely with the Social1 at candidate at the outset in an endeavor tn show that Mr. Shannon was not properly nominated-? and that one McDonald. who represented the Whitewater Miners' Union at the Labor convention in Trout Lake really represented a union that was not in existence at tbe time, and tbal since tl.e date of the convention sah-.--AI.Tffc..-. aid bad lafl tJu. country. Mr. Retallack characterised Conservatives generally as a class ot men unworthy the confidence of the , people, and he tried to prove (though unsuccessfully) that Premier McBride and Hon, Mr, Gruen were mem,tiers of the "old gang at Victoria" that have robbed the country to such a large extent for tbe past seven or eight years. ��� The speaker appeared to possess a very bad memory, forgetting th.it the pmv- ; I nee of Hritish Columbia has been governed since it was admitted to confederation by coalition governments, whicli were at all times composed of all political parties; men who called 1 themselves Liberals, Conservatives, : Independents, Labor, etc. etc.*. It was 1 not known in many instances what party allegiance, if they bad any, that many of the members bore. It was, as Mr Retallack very well knows, the ins and the outs, and most of the members were with the ins for a part of a session of the house and with the out" for the balance of tlie session. Mr. Retallack does nut need to be told this for he opposed Mr. Green in 181)8, running as a supporter of an avowed Conservative, Hon J. H Turner. Mr. Retallack was not elected, of course, and what did he do? He left the country and renounced his allegiance to the Hritish empire���his mother country. He admitted this on the platform, giving an his excuse that he de sired to go Into business in the United StateB and hold property Interests We would like to ask: Did Mr. Retallack find the laws oppressive or business chances not so good us in British Columbia, or what brought him back so soon? Surely it whs not that be saw no chance to satisfy his political ambition In Uncle Sam's territory. No, hardly that, but rather he believed his presence was needed, if not desired, in the legislature of the province of British Columbia, as a law-maker, us a leader of thought, as an example to tbe rising generation. In his speech Friday night. Mr. Retallack went back to comparatively ancient history to find a Conservative wbo bad anything to do with'polities In B C. and on whose Integrity and record some aspersions might be cast to prove that Mr. Mc. McBride and Mr. Green were unworthy the confidence ��f 'he people. After diligent search the speaker discovered Ho 1. Mr. Pooley, ana there is no doubt Mr Pooley would have derived much H'niist'iucnl had tie but* 11t-.1j.1d .ne at tempts that --.-.ere made to besmear him. Following Mr. Pooley's record to the present time, tbe most serious complaint was that the gentleman has been a representative of the very small and unimportant riding of Esquimalt and tbat he practically represents Ilon. Mr. , Dunsmuir. The speaker charged Hon. ! Mr Green with proving a nonentity In the bouse and of having been elected by the laboring1 men and then proving false to tho trust reposed in bim. Referring again to Mr. Shannon, the speaker said he would "discuss the Socialist candidate aud his party, if It could be called a party, and especially some of the planks���if they could be called planks." He said it was foolish to claim that a war was now ou between capital and labor, for ���there was nothing of the kind. Then the matter of confiscation without remuneration was touched upon. He said Mr- Shannon had avoided that question up to the previous night, when ho said he believed in it, for from time immemorial capital hud reaped tbe profits of the laborer's toll. So, were tbat property confiscated, It wuuld only be taking back what was got unjustly. The speaker said that kind of talk would keep capital from coming in, und B. C would be avoided by the very class of people we were most in need uf. Weinke not enough capitalists; we havo (Continued on Page 4.) /*��� o September 28, 1903. LARDEAU EAGLE. Mi'iiciAL Number. THB PROVINCIAL CAMPAIGN A vigorous campaign is now in progress for the election of members to compose a legislative assembly lor British Columbia. The campaign is being conducted on party lines for the first time in this province and a whole lot ol fun is being got out of the contest. Judging trom indications, there appears to be no uncertainty about the Conservatives, who now hold the reins of government, being able to carry the province. A large number of the electors, including many Liberals, believe that Premier McBride and his colleagues are capable and deserving of a trial in the management ot the affairs of the country. The political situation being so widely different in this western province trom that in the eastern provinces that many Liberals feel justified, and teel that they are not renouncing Dominion parly allegiance by working and voting lor Conservative candidates on October third and thus help to secure a capable government, having a workable majority, that the country's welfare may be advanced, lt is recognized that should the majority be small the time ol the house might be taken up with petty issues while the more important questions that have to do with the country's growing needs would be neglected. The business of the Lardeau is distinctly mining. With the exception ot the lumber industry which, under the conditions that now prevail, will take care of itself, the resources of the Lardeau and the whole Kaslo riding are more exclusively mining than perhaps any other pari of B. C. That being the case, it would seem very shortsighted of the electors to turn down the Hon. R. F. Green, who holds the portfolio ot minister ot mines. We do not believe for one moment that there is any probability ol the minister going down to defeat, but we would like him to feel that Ihe great bulk ot the people of the Kaslo riding stand as a solid wall of support at his back. It appears to us that Mr. John L. Retallack exhibits a great deal ol western gall in seeking election to parliament in a distinctly labor constituency upon such a record as he possesses. He admitted at Trout Lake that he was not averse to employing Chinamen when it suited his convenience to do so. Again, we noticed this week a circular that has been distributed through the riding wherein Mr. Retallack, in 189*4, is proven to have renounced his allegience to the British crown. Mr. Retallack may have since become a British subject, hut surely we can find a more stable man for a law-maker and to safeguard our interests at Victoria than one who seems to but lightly value his allegiance. As private citizens and business men lhe three candidates who are seeking election in this riding are above the average, but surely neither Mr. Retallack nor Mr. Shannon wen- evt*r intended lor parliamentarians, Po___n__.R_.j_.

Aet it is provided lhat polling duy in any riding shall be a publio holiday, aad every registered -lector of lhe riding registered elector of the riding who is|withln the riding on tbat day and who is a workman or employee for hire shall be allowed by Ills employer to be free from his employment on lhat dav for at least four consecutive hours between tbe opening und closing of lhe poll, and every empto'ei- who offends against this provision, without ro.it.on- able justification, shall be liable 10 a penalty ol nut more than one hundred dollars, to be recovered under thu "Summary Convictions Act" and amending acts. Wilson on Sooialism. Kev. Ben P. Wilson, iho Socialist lecturer who is touring lhe province, delivered an address in Kugle hull on Sunday night last to a largo utidiemte. Rev. A. K. Sharp, wbo wus lo have held his regular service in tne hull gave way to Mr. Wilson at Ibe request of Mr. Shannon, lhe Socialist candidate. A much lui'ifercongrcgatiou was present than usually gather to hear the gospel of the Bible preached. Mr. Wilson proved a fluent talker and kept bis listeners interested and amused by his sarcasm and original humor. We do not know how ho came hy the Kev. before his name, but anyway one would judge him to be anything but a minister of Ibe gospel. His manner und remarks would rather lead one to believe him to be a professional politician. He appears convinced that the adoption of Socialism is tbe only solution of the problem that faces us regarding capital and labor. Mr. Wilson handled both tbe old political parties rather severely, tho Conservatives especially, for some reason or other, w.re much ridiculed. A little boy who sat in the audience came to our reporter and asked: "Say! Who are those bad ConservativesV" "I am one," said the reporter. "Oh ! I thought tbey were very bad men.'' said the boy. The British Columbia board of hor tieultiire are asking the government lo give a bounty on crows, as they are very destructive in the fruit districts. CONSBKVATIVE I'LATPOKM.

Last Night's Meeting. John L. Ratal luck's meeting in Fer ���gO-on last night was well attended, though, uu doubt, owing tu tne bud Weather, not. nearly so many turned out a* were at thu former meeting called by Ilon. Mr, Green. The great attraction last night was W. A. Galliher. our member in the Bouse of Commons. Strange an it may seem, tliis wan the Mot visir of Mr. Galliher to FergUsuil, or to ihe Lardeau, though he has been our member for three years. Mr. Galliher is excusable in part, owing to tiie riding of Vale- Kuoiuuay-Cariiiim being far too extensive for one member, and traveling being very expensive; yot he could lind lime, etc., tu eunie all the way frum Ottawa ami iLuave his sessional duties to stump forthe Liberal candidate in ttie campaign that is being fought so sharply at this time. Mr. Gal I flier's speech last night dealt mostly with Dominion issues, and his aim seemed to he to impress upon the electors of Ferguson that tlie Liberal government wns responsible for thc prosperity that is uow enjoyed by the people uf Canada, and���to stretch the Imagination���should a Liberal govern ment be elected /or thu Province of British Columbia, their enactment* and good judgment would quickly place this province in a state of prosperity likewise. Tho gentleman's listeners did not, however, appear to swallow that apparently nauseating dose, though he was given a most attentive hearing. Mr. Galliher proved au interesting platform speaker, and Ferguson people were glad to have tbe opportunity uf hearing him and making his acquaintance, Personally Mr, Galliher is a splendid fellow and his friends are legion. Our unly regret is that he is not a Conservative.���Friday's edition, September 2fi. Mr. Green.s Meeting. Hon. R. F. Urt.en held a political meeting in the Old Fellow's hall at Trout Lake on Tuesday night the 15th Inst,, when the following speakers were present and took part in the discussion; Hon. R. F. Greet), C. W. McAnn, A. Carney, John L. Re la I lack, John Keen, September 28, 1903. S. Shannon, A. J. Gordon and L O'Brien. The meeting was ��a large one, many being present from Ferguson and the mines, and as far as we could judge the sentiment and uppianse seemed pretty equally divided between Mr. Green mid Mr. Shannon, while Mr. Retallack seemed very much like a stray sheep.- Mr. J. (J. Murray made an excellent chairman and appeared iu give satisfaction to all parties, yet his duties were light. Mr. Green opened the meeting, and in a speech covering about one hour explained matters witli whieh he was connected of a political nature during the past few years. Me also touched lightly ou local politics aud spoke at some length un the platform and principles of the Liberal-Conservative party. His remarks were well received and he proved an interesting speaker, Mr. John L. Retallack, the Liberal candidate, followed and spoke for 30 minutes, lie delivered his remarks In an easy aud graceful manner and. showed some knowledge uf politics, but we would not judge that politics is his mission on earth- He appears to possess a pretty thorough knowledge of mining und has done good to the Industry In this province, in that realm he could be helpful, but in tbe arena uf practical politic* he seems as it were ut sea in a frail hark. Mr. a. .-itiuntion was the nexispeaker and. Lakillg lo minutes, having divided bis allotted time with Mr. Gordon, Mr. Shannon delivered iiis remarks in a deliberate and forcible manner and devoted must uf his time tu answering arguments introduced by the previous speakers He left the outlining of the principles of Socialism to Mr. O'Brien who spoke later. Mr. Shannon did not appear at ease in the role of a pollM clatl, and he is wholly inexperienced. However Ills remarks were well received aud he was loudly applauded. Mr. Chas. .McAnn of Kaslo followed, then Mr. John Keen, Mr. A.J. Gordon, .Mr. A. Carney aud Mr. O'Brien, Tho meeting closed about midnight with cheers fur Green and Shannon. Tlie mining laws uf British Columbia in former times recognized the rule of extra-lateral rights (the same as in the United States) but in recent times the law has been changed to provide that a mining elaim should embrace an area of 1,500 feot square and only gives the locator such mineral as may be within tho vertical Hues described by its boundaries. Twenty-one claims, Including the Oyster-Criterion, Ophir Lade, Lucky j Jack and tbe Swede groups are being amalgamated into ono mammoth mining company by the Pool-Young syndicate. Particulars will be given next week. September 28, 1903. LARDEAU EAGLE. Special Number. Two Big Meetings. (Continued from Page 1.) out euougb capital; and lf Mr. Shannon should be elected we would be much less likely to get that whicb is essential to our prosperity. Mr. Shannon was then called upon. tie oppened by stating that ho was being accorded better treatment by his opponents tbau at the beginuing of tbe campaign, intending, perhaps, to convey the Idea that tbey are lie.oming afraid of bim. He occupied second place at recent meetings when tbere were but two candidates present, while when there were three be bad third place. He said bis importance appeared to be growing aud the two old parties were uniting tu defeat him. How strange that tbe Conservatives should also feel that a secret alliance has been formed between Socialists and Grits to defeat them. He explained his nomination to the satisfaction of the fair-minded and then told how stroug be was io Kaslo and the lower part of the riding. He mentioned as us an instance the Goodenough family of Kaslo (supposed to be strong Liberals) where there were three votes, aud be wuuld get two of them. So it would seem by this that the Socialist candidate is splitting tne Liberal vote, tie saiu mat capital is gradually getting into the huuds uf the lew, and when Socialists get the government in tbeir own hands they will give the wurkingmeu the lull product of tbeir toil. Mr. A. Carney, representing Hon. R F. Green, was tbe next speaker He called .Mr. Retallack oue of the latter- day Liberals. He had loaned Mr. Shannon one of the post cards distributed by the Liberal committee, which pointed out Mr. Green's wrongdoings iu the bouse, and what was found ou the card was the ouly thing Mr. Shannon had tu say against Mr. Green. Therefore, since what the card stated was practically untrue, Mr. Green must bave a*pretty clean record. The speaker saiu he fouud at thin end uf the r'ding Mr. Retallack ami Mr. Green were continually sparring and be telt that be occupied the position of umpire to settle the disputes between tbe two pugilists. He thought Mr Retallack must have derived but very Utile comfort from the support shown shown him at this end of the riding. He���the speaker���thought his reception decidedly chilly. Turning to Mr. Galliher, the speaker announced that Sir Charles H Tupper would he in Ferguson Monday night and invited Mr. Galliher to remain over two more days and meet one who was bis equal, a fellow M. P., aud a trained pleader like himself, No government, said Mr. Carney, bas ever been perfect and no government ever would be. The experience of this province bas been particularly unfortunate because we have not bad what could be called a responsible government. We have had no less than eight premiers in eight years, but since party government bas been secured we may reasonably hope fur good responsible rule. Under the uld coalition system when members were elei-'ed on their own personality there could be, it seemed,uo stable government, and the members were continually quarreling among themselves and calling oue another grafters and thieves. Is it a wonder thai men deemed it unsafe to invest capital in the country V Tbere is an abundance of capital ready and waiting for investment iu this proviuee as noon as thero is a responsible aud stable government established. The lieutenant- governor wants tu see the country ad- vauae aud be chose Hon. Mr. McBride to form a government aud he has nut disapproved of any act uf tbe premier since he eatleu him to office. The speaker thought the lieuieuaui governor surely believed Mr. McBride, Mr. Green and their associates tbe best material iu the proviuee. The Liberal lieutenant-governor wuuld never have called Mr. McBride to k> premier had bis record not been good, so it is evident that the critic... ���_<)���_> by the opposition candidates iu this campaign are uot honest. Mr, Carney made a telling speech which was very heartily applauded frum s'art to finish. He exploded some of the arguments of his opponents and altogether put up a good argument iu support of Mr. Green. W. A. Galliher M. P. followed aud got a good hearing tu a well-delivered speech ou Dominion pulitieal issues. Replying to a question brought up by Mr. Shanuuu, be explained that the liabilities iu connection with the contractor whu failed on the Arrowhead branch railway (construction) would be paid by tbe government tor hose whu held time checks, out uf thej;overu- ment grant, enough having beeu held hack by tbe government for that purpose. Mr. Retallack spoke for a short time, running over the remarks uf his opponents, and the meeting closed with cheers for Gieen aud Shannon. Mr Botallaek's followers did uot attempt a cheer, just the same as at Fergusou the previous night, feellug, probably, that it would be unwise to make an exhibition of their weakness. Unas. Wilson at Nelson. Tbe meeting in the Nelson opera house last Monday night, called by the Conservatives, -at which Hon. ('has. Wilson was tbe principal speaker, proved tbe largest gathering of electors that has ever been Been fn Nelson. Mr. John Houston, Conservative candidate, and S. S. Taylor, the Liberal candidate, were present and also spoke- Mr. Wilson made a wonderful speech lasting abou> one and a hall hours, and was listened to most attentively by nearly every man in the room, Mr. Taylor spent considerable time uttem-jtlng to criticise Mr. Wilson's remarks, but he did not pick a flaw big enough for a mosquito to crawl through. The contest will be very close in Nelson.���Private Correspondence. Green's Kaslo Meeting. Tbe Honorable R. F. Grebn held a very satisfactory meeting in Kaslo on Saturday, the 19tb inst. The Liberals evidently thought they would be able either to monopolize the time of the meeting or else breake it up, but they got what must have been an unpleasant surprise. Mr. S. S. Taylor was imported from Nelson, but the Kaslo people did not bear him speak. An ar rangement had been entered into between Mr. Green and Mr. Retallack regarding time limit and position, but when Mr. McAnn, the chairman, asked Mr. Retallack and Mr. Taylor to the platform, Mr. Retallack.rose In the audience and demanded anew arrange- mt it and wished toaddrei's the audience. The chairman asked Mr. Retallack to take the platform and express himself, otherwise he would not, be permitted to speak. Thereupon Mr. Retallack walked outuf tbe building, Hollowed by his supporters, who numbered 150 voters and non-voters. It is also said that fully one-third ofthe number were not voters There were left in the hall IHO Kaslo voters who cheered to the echo. The meeting then proceeded and proved a grand one.
