and
finding
that
most
ut
them
wished
'to
go
on
the
land,
started
a
number
of
land
settle
-
ment
schemes,
some
ot
which
were
very
successful.
Mr.
Pattullo
told
of
having
met
a
number
of
Vancouver
business
j
men
who
were
anxiously
awaiting
the
end
of
the
Tolmie
administra
and
told
them
that
It
was
In
their
own
hands.
Thev
knew
what
to
do
at
the
coming
session
If
they
were
not
satisfied.
Now
the
session
was
called
tor
the
middle
of
February.
It
had
been
delayed
to
the
latest
possible
date
The
last
thing
the
government
wanted
was
to
meet
the
Legislature.
Mr.
Pattullo
said
-he
mentioned
some
of
these
things
to
them
as
Liberals
so
that
they
would
see
what
was
going
on
from
a
party
standpoint.
He
assumed
that
ail
present
were
members
of
the
Liberal
party
or
adherents.
Continuing,
the
speaker
said
that
according
to
the
statute
whleh
could
not
be
over-ridden,
thers
must
be
an
election
within
12
months.
He
did
not
think
the
government
would
wait
that
long.
