One day a Scotchman of the Clan
l^^acLeun dropped into the effice of
Toronto Mail and Empire. a<
was his custom, to see his friend.
Charles Langton Clarke. On the
newsp|ii>er*man's desk he noticed a
clipping of an article which quoted
“the noted Scottish historian.
. Strangway.’’ as saying that the
MacLeans had l»een the first to flee
from the Battle of Culloden. Jhh*
causing the defeat of Bonnie. Prince
Charlie. That flipping had tieen
“planted’’ there delilterately by
Clarke, who expected his friend to
find it and "blow up." t
Instead, the victim of Clarke’s
hoax rushed front the office and*sat
himself down to write an indignant
letter to another Tonmto nvwn-
paper. .Immediately other Scots in
Ontario took up the matter and a
hitter controversy began. To the
MacLeans, proudest of aH the
proud Highlanders and numerous Jn
Canada, such a reflection upon the
courage of their ancestors wag an
insufferable insult.
Ilembers of other clans — and
these included men who were sup-
posed to be authorities on^ Scottish'
history—declared ‘that ..the.v wen*

Strangway and had always found
him accurate. For days the battle

over again in rhe columns of the
newspapers. So bitter grew Hie

how he could still tin* teini»est that
he had raised, before there was

In Mr. (’offield’s various ad
dn'ss(‘s presented during* the past
week, he discussed Old Age Assist
a nee. 'IWeher’s Retirement. Public
Vtilities,. Education, * and ever im
isirtant Taxation and Economy.
Motor Carrier TegntattmcwHs one
of the chief phases-<»f- this discus-
sion.
Coffield explained this plank of
his platform thus: "I propose ft tax
or f(s« upon trucks, to be determln
cd by a scale graduating i!|»\v.u<i
ns the number of trucks o]M>rated
by one concern increases This
would make the cost to an inde-
iwndent operator, a man who is
trying to earn his living w:ith iris
one truck, even less than it is to-
day. However, the fee would In-
crease A
so as to 'discourage monopolistic
interests ojierating, hundreds of
trucks mi your highways. This plan
would effect only Common Carriers
of freight.
The 7.000 ppuiid limit law should
lie repealed, as if discriminates
against the independent operator—
the, men who make up' Texas and
support our government. The-large
operators dqn’t ols'.v this law any-
way. >ind*tiM' little man l»ears the
briint of its enforcement."
• In regard to the Did Age Assist-
ance problem, (’offield said: “Our
aged jMHiple must l»e adequately
eared for. xThe trouble, however. Is
not In the present law, but In the
careless and indifferent, adminis-
tration of that law. I propose to
handle disbursement through a cen-
tral state agency, for we must have
this centra! office if we are to re-
ceive F(‘deral Al(|. Blit this State
office should act u|s>n the advice
and* recommendatioii of the Com-
missioner’s Courts of each county.'
This would serve a double purpose.
The Commissioners ure better ac
qua luted with local needs and con
ditions than is an investigator from
some other part of lliu-State. Also,
tour commissioners lire already paid.
