SEES WARNING TO SENATE IN POLL RESULT Peter Heenan Thinks Senators Will Be More Cautious With Veto Election results. In addition to being an expression of the opinion ot the electorate, were also a message to the Senate to be cautious before defeating legislation passed in the House of Commons by the people's representatives, Peter Heenan, member elect for Kenora Ralny River, said Sunday on his arrival In the city. If the Upper Chamber persisted In vetoing legislation passed by the Commons, Mr. Heenan said, it would hasten the day when provision would be made to curtail its powers. He was making particular reference to the Old Age Pension bill which' had been Introduced at the Inst session of Parliament, and which he said would likely be re Introduced next session.

The pension scheme of last year would have cost the Dominion about $12,000,000 a year provided all the provinces had come In. The Ke nora member said he anticipated those provinces with Conservative governments would he backward In adopting the plun Initiated In tho federal bill. The recent elections had also shown that the workers resented the actions of Mr. Melghen nnd Senator Robertson during the Winnipeg strike of 1919, and accordingly had felt that their only chance of getting a square deal was from those opposed to policies of the Melghen government. Briefly commenting on the political situation In Ontario, Mr.

Heenan said that people of that province were not altogether convinced of the sincerity of Premier Ferguson, particularly with respect to the liquor question.
