Hall, the convener, ei rlalned the proceedings at the meet Mr. Garland If what Mr. laidlaw says is true, I absolutely apologise. Mr. Learmonth Mr.

M'Luckie' resignation was given in lefore the resolution to proceed with the selection baMot was carried. While the resolution was not advertised in so many words it was advertised quite mfficlently for all liberals who hurt ing of a week ago. Hia reason for the action he had taken was that the bulk of the Liberals or at any rate the majority of the younger lay so far aa tbe meeting waa concerned. Mr. Learmonth said the members of the People's Party were bound to give the 'selected candidate their first vote.

The object, however, was 1 1 secure the return of a liberal, and be was aure that an Independent would get members' second votes. The main object of tbe party was to win the seat. His objection to the meeting was that It rbould have Spring 7ear FOR Hen Who Care. A superb d'sp'ay of new wearable for men and young men Is now hero to win your admiration.

They held the meeting argument used on that occasion was "irmy, ana tne resolutions were carried by a ma jority iwen neld before the selection waa made. It looked like a Blap at the Liberal leagues. Mr. White pointed out that the meeting had been specially arranged that week to suit Mr. M' Donald's convenience.

Mr. M'Donald nad asked that it be not held in Royal show week. Mr. Hall, It would he remembered, was not dosiroua fixing any date. Before the gathering dispersed, Mr Jenner appealed to all Liberals to do their very best to save the scat.

Mr.

Iearmonth had sold that it would be a breach of faith on the part of the Dartv fontest the seat for Dundas in the Liberal Interest, and hoped the meeting would see its way clear to carry It. Mr. Loughnane has a large following. Mr. E.

C. Cameron seconded the motion. It would be a Ivisable to do something to liven up the electors of Dundas. He thought they were dead, lalttoougii he, as one of them, was to blame. Anything that would put some life Into the electors of this part would be a change for the better.

He did not hold with appointing1 as representatives in Parliament men who live at a distance, and who must necessarily, more or less, be out of touch with local interests. Mr. 8. Learmotith did not consider the meeting had 'been called 'ormally. Mir.

M'Donald had secured an adjournment of the last meeting on the distinct understanding that the ad vertisement calling the meeting woulJ be Binned by the convener. Tte name of onlv one of the conveners had been signed to the advertisement, and lor that reason many who otherwise would have attended had not put in an aPParanre. Mr, T. H. Laidlaw Mr.

Hall signed it. Mr. Learmonth, continuing, said there had been a breach of faith on the part of those who were calling the meeting. He considered meeting was absolutely a slap in the face for tho Women's National Lea-' gue and the People's Party. an Independent were to stand there coulj he no objection to his doing so, but to call for a candidate before the ballot waa concluded was, considered, a slap in the face from one section of the Liberals to anothei It should bave been kept out until the ballot was taken.

But, all the same, those who did not wish to vote for the selected candidate should have postponed the meeting until after the ballot.

The leagues represented quite a large number of Liberals in Dunlas. There were 2200 names on the two rolls, and each one of those members was pledged to vote for the selected 1 ib-eral candidate. If those 2200 votes "were recorded the Independent would have as much chance of getting in aa an Iceberg would have in Hell. Voices The same aa Mr. M'Len-nan.

Tht chairman ruled that in his opinion the meeting was convened Mr. Learmonth The advertisement is signed by one of the conveners onlv. Mr. Hall faid that it wfs carried that the meeting be netd and that the convener sign hia name. He did not know that anything was mentioned about other conveners.

Mr. A. M'Luckie said he was led to believe that Mr. Hall eave a distinct understanding that those gentlemen who were instrumental in tailing the meeting would sign the names to the advertisement. He was surprisid when he saw that tin advertisement contained only tne name of J.

T. Hall. That seemed to him a breach of taith. Another thing which did not Bprer to be altogether above hoard was the lact that the advertisement was only put in on the morning of tne inst election, when 10 per cent. of the Conservatives cast their vote for tbe Labour man.

They were not meeting there to offend the People's Party or the Women's National league, but as Iiiberal electors trying to secure Dimdaa for Liberalism. With re-ard to the candidates thy would all aeree that a local man waa preferable to a Melbourne mn. From bis experience in Parliament h- would rather bave a third-rate country man than a first-rate Melbourne man as the representative of a country constituency. There were many times when the onestion of Town v. Country cropped up, and the man hvin- in Melbourne would be inclined to cast bis vote for the town interests.

Mr. L. Jenner said he was a member of the People's Party, and a m-mber of the committee, hut ne came to the meeting in a feeling of compromise. They had come to a very grave issue In Dundas. They old rot war.t it to go to the Labour Party, and they would have to vote all they knew.

There seem-d to be a little dissatisfaction, and the only way in which to meet it as in a spirit of compromise. If It were true that a third man would not Interfere with the ehan-es of the Liberals his feiling was that there should be a a-Irit of compromise. There was not the slightestdoubt that they were up ag in a very serioua consideration. Jf they did not pull tosethr thfy would lose the Beat. He agreed entirely with what Mr.
