Vict in the History of North \gte:;l:'oe After a Hard and Exciting FU * ; *‘The battle of the o::loh is over. ; .‘The electors of N Waterloo have spoken . on Suee caith ons » The vote was the h%:st in â€" the Iistory of North Water and showâ€" cd that the keenest interest had been ; aroused in every division by the Libâ€" cral and Conservative parties placing :wo strong and popular .candidates in the ‘field. Mr. W. L. â€"Mackenzie King, who accepted the nomination of : the ‘Aberal party, resigned the office ol Deputy Minister of Labor, arrived in Berlin the day after the nomination â€" ; andâ€"immediately â€"commenced a camâ€" / paign that created enthusiasm â€" and confidence in Liberal circles and the â€" rank and file got together, organized â€" their forces and the "‘ring of~ ~vicâ€" tory was in the ar‘‘~throughout : the fight. The Conservatives delayed the nomination of their ‘standardâ€"bearer : until after the Liberals had their canâ€" ! didate in the fidld and Mr. . Richard Reid, who was President of the Conâ€" servative Association, and was .ackâ€" nqwledged by friend and fo®# . alike to be the strongest man available, _was selected, and the real fight was on. LIBERAL CANDIDATE OBTAINS MAJORITY OFâ€" 271 VOTES Mayor Allen Huber entered the camâ€" paign but, as the result _ indicates, did not cut any figure. The campaign got off to a,. good start. _ The Laurter demonstration, which was, a tremendous success, caused consternation in the ~Conserâ€" vative â€"ranks,â€"and they â€"realized that they were up against it. The first evidences ‘of this was the manner . in which the addresses of Sir Wilfrid Laurier, Hon. R. Leniieux and _ the Liberal candidaté were misconstrued _and misrepresented by the Conservaâ€" tive press and platform speakers. This was followed by the "outsidetr‘"‘. and the ‘"youth from Uttawa‘"‘ cry â€" and then the campaign of slandbr _ and seandal wasâ€"inauguratedâ€"inâ€"aâ€"manner that injured rather than belped wHiatâ€" ever chances Mr. Reid bad of~ elecâ€" tion. All the while the Liberal candidate was gaining ground by the clean and manly fight he was putting _ up throughout the riding. The Conservaâ€" bives realized that Mr. King‘s success as a campaigner would have to be checked and when ne held his meeving in the Town Hall at Waterloo it was found that Alex. W. Wright, the forâ€" mer organizer of he Conservative party, had be'n imflrt«l to speak on the same platform Mr. King. Mr. Wright met his Waterloo on â€"this ocâ€" casion but in order not to acknowlâ€" edge defeat Mr. Wright spoke at anâ€" othér Liberal meeting in Bridgeport where he issued a challenge to debat: with Mr. King on the labor question, but he disappeared from the meeting in the Casino before Mr. King answâ€" ered his arguments.â€" The Conservatives made what they consitdered gteat political capital out of the fact that Mr. King did not finally accept the challenge until the Liberal Executive had reâ€"arrafiged the dates for Mr. King‘s meetings. The Tory organ published a sensational article under the heading ‘"Flunked‘" and attempted to create the impresâ€" sion that Mr. King was afraid to meet the former Conservative . orgaâ€" nizer. The challenge was accepted as well as the conditions suggested by the Conservatives and the date was set for Oct. 2ist. It is worthy of note that no more Conservatives apâ€" peared on Mr. King‘s platform after the experience . Mr. Wright went â€"through at Waterloo. 5 ® e o annl s * The final week of the campaign was the "Last Awful Week" for the Tory party .â€"â€"The eventsâ€"ofâ€"theâ€"lastâ€"seven days will not soon ‘be fergotten in Berlin. The nomination meeting was ‘"a goodâ€" thing‘‘ for . Mr. King u*the Liberal causb as the arguments of the Tory party were answered in a < most effective mannerâ€" especially Ahe . "yelâ€" low peril" cty, â€" when the _ Liberal candidate threw a bombshell in the Tory camp by referring to the Chiâ€" gram‘s farm. . The debate on . the ist" proved to be a boomerang â€" for Mr. Kh*hud Mr. Reid‘s doom : was scaled. invasion of the Whitney artillery in Berlin and â€"Elmira . did not help Mr. Reid‘s cause and final raily of the Liberals: last day proved to be a fitting cBmax â€"to ome ol the most #tfénuous campaigns in the Dominion. : C . L. M. KING | MAGNI Mr. King Gains Ground Story of the Campaign That Labor Debate "Last Awful Week." Big Vote w64 u40000 did not dampen the enthusiasm of the ma and the clectors cast their éarly in the day. Jn fact â€" at 3 o‘clock in the alternoon. bothâ€" partâ€" ies claimed ‘that their â€" yotes ~were nearly all pofled and the officials idle during the last two hours, W a fow stragglers polling their .votes. There was nothing unusual _ took place during:the day and:it is. ackâ€" nowledged gy supporters of both sides that the voting was clean and . free from corrupt practices. â€" Both Sides Confident. When the polis closed at 5 o‘clock both sidesâ€"were confident of victory and the followers of Mr. King and Mr. «Reid flocked to. the committee rooms to hear the results. . The _re» turns from the. various polling diviâ€" sions in Berlinâ€" soon indicated that the Tory majority would be .greatly reduced and when it was found that divisions which gave large Conservaâ€" tive pluralities were breaking â€"even the Liberals‘ stock went up and the commodious yrooms on King . . street rang with cheers while silence reigned supreme across the strcet in theâ€"Conâ€" servative rooms. The returns from Waterloo and Elmira did not give the Tories very. much encouragement, but when the vote in the Townships | commenced to arrive there was â€" joY: in the Liberal camp which ktew _ no bounds and the magnificent majority: of 353 in favor ol Mr. King from Woolwich Township almost wiped off Mr. Reid‘s majorities in the. â€" three towns of Berlin, Waterloo and Elâ€" mira, while the majorities in Waterâ€" loo and Wellesley townships made up Mr. King‘s handsome majority of 271. : There. were some big surprises in || _ _ store for the workers when the _ reâ€" | Ruppel‘s ........ turns came in. The firstâ€"surprise was |â€" Majority for the largeâ€"Liberal vote polled in Berâ€" . WAT lin and the small majority â€" of 153 for ~Mr. Reid.

Upper Woolwi By 7.30 o‘clock cight thousand peoâ€" ‘ple had thronged the street, and Mr. King addressed the throngsâ€"from the balcony of the Berlin club. . A torchâ€" light procession was formed at Betâ€" lin, with the Berlin and the 28th Reâ€" 1 giment bugle bands in line, and pioâ€" ceeded to Waterloo _and merged with a similar procession there, and â€" Mr. Kingâ€"also addressed the gathering of several thousand people there. . Then the parade marched back to 3erbn, where Mr. King again addressed â€" the assembled thousands at the .. Audiâ€" torium, where the returns of the elecâ€" tions were shown on a canvas, _ Wild excitemcnt prevailed on the. streets until long after midnight. M# Allen Huber‘s vote was so . small that he lost his deposit, and he bobbed . up with a smiling face at the Auditorâ€" jum and in a short speech congratuâ€" lated Mr. King. 4 Mr. W. L. M. King received tae ieâ€" turns at the Liberal rooms ad when it was finally known at 7 _ o clock that he was elected he was carried about the room on the shoulders . of some of his stalwarts. He dJelivered a short address at the ~rooms â€" and thanked his friends for their splendid support which resulted in such _ & magnificent victory. In thanking the electors "for the magnificent vietory they gave . him, Mr. King said it was a triumph over whiskey andâ€"smoney, and domonstratâ€" ed conclusively that what / North Waterloo wanted was clean elections. Aâ€"particalarâ€"source %M«j was that with only two or throe exâ€" ceptions the Conscrvative majotities were greatly reduced where theyâ€"were not converted: into Jiberal majorities, and Liberal majorities were _ largely increased.
