Final in structions were Bent to the political workers today and complete arrange ments for getting out a heavy vote to morrow were made by both parties. The liberals -are making a determined attempt to defeat Robert L. Berden, the conser vative leader, and that gentleman has been devoting much time to th situa tion in Halifax city and county, which comprise his constituency. Hon. V. 8. Fielding, finance minister of Canada and Premier Laurler's lieutenant who was largely instrumental In perfect ing the reciprocity agreement, is having a stiff fight in the Queen'-Shelburne dis trict, at the southern extremity of the province. The financial minister la op posed by F. B. McCurdy of Halifax.

Matheson, primate of Canada, and Rev. Charles Hamilton, archbishop of Ottawa, acting for all the I bishops of the church in Canada, have issued an appeal to the voters of the Dominion. The appeal concludes: "The bishops desire at this time to re mind men of all political viewa and par ties that political purity la one of the es sential foundation stones on which na tional greatness and prosperity must rest, and in particular that to buy or sell a vote Is to act the part of a traitor to your country and to Invite the Just con tempt and condemnation of all good men."

HUNT CALLS HTM A FAKER Former Resident of Omaha Tells et Cloe Arqnalntant'rshlp with 1 Missing Klmmel and Gives Reasons for Belief. NILES. Mich . Sept. 20 -Nlles' Strang controversy over th Identity of "George A. Klmmel," who represents himself to be a man long supposed to be dead, was further complicated today. While dozens of people positively Iden tified him aa the ton for wbote sup pored death thirteen years ago Mrs Es tella Klmmel received $5,000 In life Insur ance, other were as positive that he wa not the on. Then Mrs. Klmmel, 70 year old. who had asserted that the man Is Impersonating her son. merely to deprive hrr of the money she already haa re ceived and to prevent the payment of $35, 0C0 more in insurance to other relatives, scrutinized the man who claims her as mother. Face to face with the woman, the 'Klm mel" Just released from a five-year term In the Auburn, N. Y.. penitentiary, stretched out his arms and said, plead ingly: "Mother, don't you know your boy, don't disown me any longer. You know I m your son." Mr. Klmmel. withdrawing from th man a he attempted to embrace her, stood sternly scanning hi face. "No," she said, "I don't see In you any positive resemblance to my son." Mother Not Beneficiary. The meeting took place at the home of Mrs. Harry L. Fox, who already had ac cepted "Klmmel" an a cousin and posi tively identified him as the son of Mr. Klmmel. It was made known that Mr. Klmmel haa no direct Interest In any money which the Insurance companlea re fuse to pay on the ground that the son Is still living, but that a S30.000 policy Is held by a daughter, Mr. Edna Klmmel Bonslett, and another $5,000 policy la held by a distant relative. "I would have no selifsh motive In denying the identity of my on If he wera alive," said Mr. Klmmel. "For years I have felt certain be was dead, and I cannot believe that this man is he. It seem that some motherly in stinct ought to tell me th truth, yet when I look at him I do not -recognise htm. He only puules me. It ha almost prostrated me to look upon this strange man and have people Insist that be .1 my son." "Klmmel" on looking at the woman said he wa positive she was his mother. "I wanted to take her In my arms." he said, 'for she looked the same aa she did years ago. I love her with all my heart and cannot understand why she should insist that I am dead. "Still. I will not worry her. and If she continues to disbelieve me It shall be aa she wishes. But I know I am Klmmel, for I recognise everyone." Opinions Differ aa to Identity. To test his acquaintance with Niles 'Jflmmur' wss escorted about the streets. He repeatedly pointed out the landmarks snd related former Incidents which the townspeople t-sld were correct. Nodding to people, he called them by their full najnes. but many of thera professed not to recognize him as the real Klmmel. "Now to prove I am familiar with the town." said Klmmel,- "I will tell you that behind that hill there Is a big red brick house on the south side of which is a large elm tree, from which we used to swing when boys." The statement was corrent. Meantime scores of people who went to the Fox home to Identify Klmmel came awey with conflicting opinions. Some of the reasons given for opposing the belief that It waa Mrs. Ktmmel s son were: Henry Dean, Drugglst-Because he re members that Klmmel when young had brown eyes, whereas the present claimant has light gray eyes. Dr. F. M. Bonine Because he performed an operation on Kimtnul's eye, which left a tear that could not have been era il ea ted, whereas the new Klmmel" haa no sucn scar. George Fiancls, Chief of Pollce-Beeaus he knew the real Klmmel from boyhood up to thetlrae of his disappearance and this man haa no physical resemblance to the former; is positive he is not the man. Charles Montague Because the new comer uses poor grammar, whereas the other Kimmel was distlnt-uirhed for hi. polished English. L. E. Wood Because he does nr.t any resemblance to the earlier Kimmel. Evidence for Klmmel. Among the evtdeucea put forth bv thoaa who claim "Klmmel" Is the man he says he Is are: Joseph Wilson, Janitor of the Nile First National Bank Because "Klmmel" on first seeing him shouted, "Hello, Joe;" he recognized Kimmel as a former emnlova of the bank. W. B. Brlnkley-Because this man re membered once having rented a rig to whlrh was hitched a horse with whit eyes. Dr. J. F. Brown Because he found on BoxesofO'Briens Candy. Dalzell's Ice Cream Brick.
