The situation is extremely critical and the present opinion is that if the Remedial Bill were voted upon the Government would be defeated and this of course would bring on the General Elections. In such a case every Liberal wants to be on the alert, to uphold Liberal princiâ€" ples, and above all, to hold before the people that grand and patriotic leader, Hon. Wilfred Laurier, and to stand for honesty and honest principles.
