Any thinking man or woman can surely sea on reflection that the contest merely is between those who wish to see a strong Government In power capable of steering the country clear of anarchy and chaos, and those 1 who would make direct action, with nil Us accursed results, the sole form of eovern- ' ment by tho'masses.
