G A B Hall announces candidacy for Provincial Legislature as an Independent Liberal. He outlines eight hour days, wage standards for government works, a labor board, government road and railway ownership, Chinese and Japanese laborer immigration limits, and the creation of technical schools for miners.
A political platform outlines efficient civil service, open lands for settlers, and government surveys. It urges a London agent to attract capital for mining, expansion of steel works, shipyards, and smelters, plus a conciliatory board for labor and capital disputes.
A speaker urged voters in Nelson Riding to back the candidate likely to form government and serve the province best. He warned that Hall or Houston would lead a small minority unable to advance provincial interests. After appealing to impartial judgment, the meeting ended with three cheers for the Queen. Also brief notes from Vancouver and Sherbrooke mention legal adjournment and a forest fire destroying thirteen houses at Port Hilford.
The Miner portrays Mr Fletcher as the sole alive candidate aligned with the majority in the Legislature and a supporter of the Conservative Turner's coalition. It claims a Dominion wide plan to place Turner and Conservative blocs in power, painting Hall as the best independent labor candidate and urging votes against Fletcher Houston.
The World reports Conservative unity from coast to coast with Ontario’s discredited faction removed. Hugh Macdonald is expected to join Charles Tupper in the campaign once elections are called. Copper and metal prices are noted in New York markets, while Bucklen's Arnica Salve is praised for curing old ulcers and other conditions.
