TO THE ELECTORS OF PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND AND ALL CONSERVATIVE CANDIDATES

Dear Friends:

We just wish to express our regret that we were not able to return from Ottawa in time to be of some help in the present campaign.

As you all know the session was unduly prolonged during the past week by the Beauharnois investigation, the revelations of which are unparalelled in Canadian pol- itics. The situation in Western Canada, the unemployment question, would of themselves have been enough without “Beauharnois,” but you can rest assured that Premier Bennett and his Cabinet have the matter well in hand and conditions are already showing signs of an early im- provement.

The question of increased subsidy is under consider- ation snd Mr. J. D. Stewart is your best bet in that regard.

A bill for the relief of unemployment has been passed which will be-shared in by the workmen of our province. While we again regret that we could not be home in time to take part in the election, we assure you that we have been most active in your interests during the session.

In the name of our great leader the Rt. Hon. R. B. Bennett we ask you to come out on the 6th of Aug. and record a worthy majority for the candidates of the Hon.

The tremendous audience which taxed Tryon Hall to the limit of its

meeting of the fourth district was conclusive evidence that the elec- torate were keenly interested in the issues at stake.

Dr. _W. J. P. McMillan, of Char- lottetown, received tremendous ap- plause as he addressed the aud- ience on the important issues be- fore the electorate, dealing partic- ularly with the subsidy question. Every remark was applauded.

The Conservative candidates, Mes srs Strong and Morrison scored heavily as they exposed the fail- ures of the Lea. Government. The vast audience showed they were not in sympathy with continued waste- fulness of the public money. ,

The electors who came to hear something constructive from Prem- ier Lea to guide them in csatins their ballot on Thursday were dis- appointed. Not one hint did he ail/e as to the kind of legislation they might expect if his party should be returned. He took up the full ienﬂth of his time in criticizing the Stew- art platform, in spits of the fact lthat at the very nun meneement of ~ his speech some from the audience lasked what is your platform. No response. No mention of prohibit- ion enforcement except tc say "we have fulfilled our undertakings in

, regard to prohibition 100 per cent."

The other pledges 80 per cent.
