George Powers again threw his hat into the the Progressives, Dick Hannah led hopes, while Hugh Haffey essayed to of the Liberal party, The campaign ously contested, but the linal results ring as' leader of the Conservative guide the destiny was quite strenu- after the distant ridings were heard from gave Haffey a small majority over the next candidate. The first session was opened by the new Governor-General, Rev. Father Forner, who read the speech from the throne. Gordon Watsoii was elected speaker, and Mike Quinlan 'clerk of the House. Due to the unavoidable absence of the Conservative leader for the first part of the meeting, Russ Callaghan led the Opposition wing. A lengthy debate then ensued between the Prime Minister and the Deputy Leader over a constitutional question, which was only decided when the constitution was produced and quoted at length. A motion of want of confidence was then introduced by the Opposition, amidqconsiderable confusion, with the VVhips assembling their forces and the members calling for motion.'l Wlien the 'count was taken it was found that the Government had been ousted by a close vote. The Government was then declared unseated, and a motion of adjournment was carried. q Owing to the many and various activities occupying the attention of the students it was not practical to carry out the full programme. 3l.6!IZ.E.Zfd. Debate Versatility, although a most desirable virtue, some- times causes disaster, and possibly the diversity of interests of the St. Michaels champions was the cause of their sudden stop in the I.C.D.U. race. Having just returned from Montreal with the Intercollegiate football title in hand, other fields remained to be conquered. The Dominion title was at stake in Sarnia on VVednesday, while on Thursday University College was to be the opposition in the I.C.D.U. debate. Our men acquitted themselves nobly both days, but due to the crowding of work, met defeat twice. In making the first speech for the affirmative, Resolved that Canada is over-governed , Mr. Wallcer of U.C. spokecin a most forcible manner. He pointed out the multiplicity of governments and the duplication of civil services, comparing the Canadian system of government with that of England and the United States. Mr. Craw, the second speaker of the affirmative, had an entirely different method of carrying his audience. His similes, 'combined with a subtle humour, proved very effective in establishing his points. Still shaking off the mud, Russ. Callaghan rose nobly to the occasion, and with characteristic witticisms pro- claimed that the great area of Canada necessitated a minute government supervision. Bill Donohue, cane in hand, rivalled john A. MacDonald at his best when in replying to the aff1rmative's arguments he portrayed his philosophy of government. Doctor Phelan, Mr. Maurice Cody, and Mr. McIntyre, the judges. awarded the laurels to the affirmative.-
