Mr. ELLIOT:

It is dated Strathroy, September 5, 1911, just about the right time, and it reads as follows:

Wm. Waddell, Esq.,

Kerwood, Ont.

Dear Mr. Waddell,

Tour communication of August 29 received in regard to the Farmers Bank depositors. I may say that I have been in favour of a measure designed to bring financial relief to depositors if it is along fair and reasonable lines.

I think that the legislation now proposed must be along fair and reasonable lines, because the hon. gentleman, Mr. Ross, has supported it.

If I am elected to the House of Commons, if I can do anything to help the people who have suffered by this ruinous failure in any reasonable way at all, I shall consider it not only my duty but a priviege to do so, as I number many of them amongst my warmest friends.

Just imagine the hon. member for North Middlesex in 1911 voting against a resolution for the appointment of a commission

of investigation with a view to giving relief to his warmest friends.
