ATTACK ON RACING IS NOT POPULAR TORONTO. Out.. January Hi. — Premier Rrury and two of his ministers in the farmer-labor government in Ontario are still ■eatleas, as no constituency appear- to be open to tliem. The Globe says that the stumbling block which is still preventing Matters being satisfactorily arranged i- understood to lie the finding of a safe -eat for Hon. W. F. Raney. attorney -general and erstwhile professional reformer. Mr. Raney has made many new enemies since assuming the position of attorney -general. There is not the most cordial feeling between one or two members of the cabinet and himself, and it is know 11 that Instead of making friends by his outspokenne-s at the C. F. O. convention in Ma— ey Hall, when he challenged the Liberty League and racing Interests, he made some enemies among former M. 1. I.--. They didnt like it. and some of them are not at all backward about saying so to their friends and constituents. Tin- delay in bringing ea the by-elections is holding up government work. The principal matter l eing delayed, of course, i- the calling of the legi--latun -. whieh will net likely as-emble before the beginning of March. That will mean that there will be no adjournment by Ka-tor. a- iias been the case for years past. The holiday this year come- on the first Sunday in April, and a four-week session will baldly be long enough to transact the years basi-ne-s. The ordinary length of session is from six to eight week-, and it i- not conceivable that, with so many new Members, tie busine— can be transacted in a shorter time than that required by the old parties.
