13. In a swiftly changing picture of this most confused of British general elections, two clear issues are emerging: 1 A fundamental battle with Socialism itself. 2. The establishment of protective tariffs. "The danger" of return of Socialists, rings from thousands of Government platforms up and down the land.

It is the mainspring of the pacts between Conservatives and National-Liberals which are every day eliminating more and more three-cornered fights. "The first issue is the 'urgent necessity to complete the defeat of Socialism declared Rt. Hon. Winston Churchill "How many free traders are there in this country who really prefer a Socialist "victory at the polls to the risk of some modification of our fiscal practice at the, hands of a National Government)" echoes Sir John Simon, leader of the Protectionist Liberal faction supporting the Government. The selection of Conservative candidates to oppose Sir Herbert Samuel and Sir Donald McLean- Liberal members of the National Government, because they remain free traders, has filled the old Free Trade Liberals with alarm.

They see in the Conservative platform declarations an attempt to secure election to the House of Commons of a group powerful enough to establish a system of permanent protective tariffs despite any opposition the Samuel Liberals might offer. TO REORGANIZE CONSTITUTION BM ST. ANDREWS Nanaimo City defeated St. Andrew of Vancouver, here Sunday four goals to nil in Pacific Coast League fixture, before a crowd ot fifteen hundred spec tators and under the referceing of J. Dewar.

Both teams took advantage of the new substitute rule, and for the first time in league games on the island a substitute was sent in, and in both instances it speeded up the game, and evidently pleased the spectators. While Nanaimo had the most of the play, they had their work cut out, every goal being the result of combination and hard work. On the other hand the Saints did not have a break in the game, and were extremely unlucky not to have scored at least twice during the. play At one time, two minutes before half time, they shot five times at Williams, the ball striking both uprights and the crossbar, each time bounding back into play almost in the goalmouth. Luck and good work combined saved Nanaimo' goal.

It was a thrilling two minutes. Xanaimo were leading by one goal, which had been scored by Waugh, after seven minutes of play, Saints were pressing hard to equalize threatening Williams continuously, and it was not until just before the whistle that the local defence cleared their lines, the play being in mid-field as the whistle sounded with Nanaimo one up. English Take Place Saints took the offensive for the first twelve minutes of the second per- iod then Nanaimo sent in Frank English to replace Reid. It made a great difference. English went to outside right, Gray moving oyer to inside, and the whole forward line bucked up, took charge and English after six minutes, passed two men, slipped the sphere over to Waugh, who slammed it past Singleton for Nanaimo's second Two minutes later Waugh passed to George Gray, who scored Nanaimo's third goal.

With 22 minutes gone, the Saints sent Henderson1 on, Ewing coming off and Martin going to centre half. The change helped the play of the visitors, but they could not beat Boyd, Edmunds and Williams, and the fourth and last goal came when George Gray took a pass from. Waugh and scored. The teams were St. Andrews Singleton, Contsable, McKibbin; Girard, i Ewing, Alcock; Stevens, Robinson, Johnson, McDonald, Martin; Henderson and Nanaimo Williams, Boyd, Edmunds; McGregor, Strang, Knight; R.

Gray, Waugh, Fowler, jReid, G. Gray; subs, Stewart, English. Referee J. Dewar. Malaspina Hotel Staff Farewelled Miss Pittman The staff of the Malaspina Hotel gathered at the home of their manager, Mr.

Organized labor's endorsement ol huge government projects hereafter will be dependent on guarantees that union standards will be maintained, the American Federation of Labor in effect, decided here today. The Federation does not wish to issue blanket endorsement of projects which labor may be employed at wages below union standards.

Southend Juniors Took Points from Federals A fairly good slice of luck, a splendid defence and for the second half, a good half-back line gave the youthful Southend juniors a 1-0 victory over the hard-working Federals on the Central Sports Ground Saturday afternoon, in a Mid-Island League game. 1 For the first ten minutes there was only one team in it the Federals, but from then on for the remainder of the first half, thc positions were reversed and Southend was on top, Mills scoring to give them lead with a close-in shot that hit the crossbar and angled down inside the goal ine. Both teams in the first half showed occasional good football, which, with proper coaching, should produce good teams for Nanaimo. In the second half, Southend re arranged their team, which, while it strengthened the half back line did not give such good results for the team as a whole, the forward line seeming all at sixes and sevens, missing some glor ious chances to add to their score. Taken on the whole, the half was Federal one, their forwards shooting wildly, with the Southend defence and halfbacks giving them no chance to steady up, and Bamford saving what shots were directed for the net, only twice allowing any danger of a counter when he did not clear well, and a scrim mage resulted in front of goal, which the Southerners were lucky indeed to clear.

The "game was hard fotight, and on the whole: cleanly played. M. Home refereed. LEADING FIGURE IN CHURCH DIES Hamilton, Oct. 13.

Local Man To Promote Wrestling Game Here "Cec" Mulholland, who for these many long years has been prominently coniieqted with sport in Nanaimo, more especially basketball and baseball, in which he has worked hard and faithfully as an executive, has decided to make the plunge as a promoter in the, mat game, and with that end in view has secured the Bijou Theatre in which to show 4iis squirm and groan artists.

For the first show, which will be staged next Friday, "Cec" has secured Bob Kruse, one of the best known mat men on the Pacific Coast in one corner, and Pat McKay of Philadelphia, equally well known as his opponent. Bob weighs 205 pounds, and Pat 210. They are both head liners on every wrestling centre in the west. Cecil Is. to be congratulated for offering men of this calibre in his great venture.

They will wrestle eight ten minute rounds. The semi-wiiidup will bring together Bob Forsgren and Rocky Brooks, the former a husky Vancouver heavyweight, who knows his holds, while the latter is well known' to Nanaimo mat fans. As a curtain lifter it is expected that two local boys who have shown, that they know the game will be brought together. The prices for the shows will be set at a reasonable ligure, wrui every spectator guaranteed a good view of the ring. Given these, coupled with first class shows, "Cec" should have the support' of the sportsmen in Na naimo with and for whom he has worked so -long, to make his venture as sports promoter a financial success.
