About 200 people listened to orators of the Labor party at an open air meeting held in Elmira last night. The meeting was presided over by Ald. John Reld of Kitchener and the prinâ€" cipal speaker was Dr. J. E. Hett. Othâ€" â€"er sperkers were James Clarke, Menâ€" no Dahmer, Henry Lockhart, and Eph. Ernest. There was a lively interâ€" change of argument between Dr. Hett and a Mr. McDonald from Hamilton who was in the crowd and who _ obâ€" jected to the policy of the speakers in regard to the conscription issue. Mcâ€" Donald mixed it up with Eph. Ernest on the conscription issue and according to all accounts the Hamilton man had a little the better of the argument. McDonald is a member of the Postal Union and while he expressed himself in favor of many of the policies of the Labor party, he declared himself an out and out proâ€"Conscriptionist and would not listen to any antiâ€"conscripâ€" tion arguments last night.
