SENATOR MCCALLUM DEAD
Dr. Glasgow Proposed as his Successor
[Welland Tribune, 16 January 1903]
Elsewhere in this paper is a report of the demise of the late Senator McCallum of Stromness.
This district is entitled to the succession in this case, and the Tribune has pleasure in proposing Dr. Glasgow of Welland for that position.
Dr. Glasgow is a life-long Liberal. Although proposed as a Liberal candidate for the County on several occasions he has always given way for others, whom he supported as heartily as he would have sought his own election had he been the party nominee.
He has been actively and prominently associated with the 44th Regt., for years, and is now a Major of the Second Dragoons.
Recently he was re-elected without opposition for a second term as member of the Ontario Medical Council, for the large and important district comprising the counties of Welland, Lincoln, Haldimand, Brant and the cities of St. Catharines and Brantford.
The doctor’s appointment to the Senate would be popular and acceptable throughout the whole district, and it is to be hoped the Government will take this view of it.
We believe we are correct in saying that this large and important section of Ontario, known as the Niagara District, is now without a representative in the Senate of the Dominion. To allow this to continue would be a manifest injustice.
