THE truth of the old maxim was demonstrated again yesterday when Dr. George H.

Their campaign, opening with no apparent desire to stick to public issues, rapidly degenerated into the most amazing spectacle of deliberate misrepresentation ever witnessed in this constituency. ANYTHING TO WIN! If truth got in their way, so much the worse for truth. So reckless did the campaign of wholesale misrepresentation beceme that display advertisements (bearing the primatur of the Liberal organization) were actually published containing statements known by those responsible to be untrue.
