Prof. Carlyle

Among the many Conservative candidates who hope to sweep into Canada's Parliament under banner of Mr. Meighen, is Professor .William Levi Carlyle. An agricultural scientist, he is trying to persuade the Western Progressives of Alberta to send at least one Conservative to Ottawa. His chances of succeeding are reported to be excellent because of the somewhat irrelevant fact that he is manager of the ranch of Royal Highness, Edward of Wales.

A socialist sheetlet of Glasgow, Scotland, alarmed by the news, accused the Prince of publicly supporting Professor Carlyle, in which case "the salary and expenses of the Prince of Wales had better be paid in the future by the political organization which is allowed to use him for its own ends."

Forthwith H. R. H.'s secretary wrote to Socialist-Editor Tom Johnson (Labor M. P.): "Professor Carlyle's views are his own and in no way reflect those of His Royal Highness, who stands aloof from party politics."
