The man wanted should be one of debating ability and experience, with a thorough understanding of procedyre in parliamentary moves and ineasures: he must be known to possess the tact necessary tn cope with the smart men he has te dea! with today; a man that ecan talk well and talk sensibly, raise points and be resolute in forecing them—no merely ‘‘Gapfiiler’” or "‘Figure Head”’ will suit today, bnt a thoroughly wide- awake and lively man Moreover he must be one that his Electors will have confidence in. as to his integrity and honour and who they can feel sure will not be daunted by te frowns of this, nor® be cajoled by the smiles of that other man, but although he be surround- ed by the high anl mighty, will still manfully and strongly, without fear of any, vindicate, advocate and uphold, as well as firmly resist in the interest of those who he is there to represent. The man who it is believed will ans 7er . all such requirements is J. ROBERTS. He is a son of the soil and of good ances- try, courteous and respectful to all, yet stubborn to the last where his stand is taken. He has given go2d account of himself whenever, and wherever tried. The members of the old M. I. S. remem- ber him well. His equal it would be difficult to find in the matter of the political history of the Island, and is well posted in general history--great in memory! feared as a centroversial an- tigonist, and admired by all. Voters, it is to your interest in these times to elect J. R)OBERTS.—Com’ TELEGR A MS. ST. CROIX STATION. London, July 20th. —The probability of a meeting in Belfast between Mr. De Valera and Sir James Craig is foreshaw- dowed in some political quarters and sev- eral newspgpers this morning. General Smuts, who reentered the negotiations yesterday, doubtiessly is largely respon- sible for this and similar optimistic spec- ulations which have survived under great - difficulties since Monday, when the Ul- ster Premier departed suddenly for Bel- fas) after making a forceful statement on the subject of selfdetermination as it applied to Ulster. This seemed for a time to end all hope for an amicable nieeting between the two Irish Leaders, but the moderating influence of General Smuts coupled with Belfast despatches to the effect that Sir James does not regard the peace pourpariers as interrupted, have gone a long way towards reestab- lishing confidence. Mr. De Valera now is reported willing to go to Belfast and meet Sir James after he has discussed with his Dublin followers certain propos- als which it is understood Mr. Lloyd George will submit to him on Tharsday, The cabinet today will give special con- sideration to the Irish question and itis believed that ‘the proposals will be dis- ussed at great length and that they are
