' - a a Opposition.

The Second District of Prince opened its political campaign by a loint meeting in St. M'ark's Hall, Burton, Lot 7, on Monday evening, July 8th. Mr. Thos. Doyle‘ in his genial manner very efficiently performed the duties of chairman. Excellent order prevailed’ through- out the entire meeting,

The first speaker was Mr.

T_ Russell Rogers who was given a

' ""d ovation. In his precise manner Mr. Rogers reviewed step by step the ‘four years of the Stewart-MacMillnn administration- He strongly emphasized the diffi- cult economicconditions that faced the government during their ten- ure of office. He refened to the construction of the new Prince of Wales College, the hospital for the insane, also the implementing of the old age‘ pensions and the im- proved roads and the use of local gravel. This being Mr. rs’ first venture into the political arena, he earnestly solicited the support of the Second District, assuring them if elected he would. as their serv- ant. servethem to the utmost of his ability. '

Fifteen minutes-cf his allotted time on the platform he gave to his colleague Mr. Sharp.

As is their wont. the Liberal contestants are continually criti- cising the Falconwood Hospital, which is a humiliation to those of our citizens who have relatives and friends in that institution. Very clearly Mr. Sharp gave an account of conditions as they ex- isted before the Conservatives came into power. With facts and figures. not to be disputed. he made it very clear to the audience the saving in expenses and the

improved conditions in that in- stitution.

His opponent, Mr. Barbour, also brought up the "Oyster Question" and wondered if "Sharp had any- thing to say on that." And Sharp certainly had, and when he was through his opponents, like the lamb before his shearers, were dumb and opened not their mouths.

He also gave an acuiunt of the money spent in building roads and bridges and other public works. which they to their distributed equally among all.

A vote of thanks was tendered the chairman and the meeting closed with the National Anthem.

Hon. G. Shelton Sharp scored heavily at Glenwood on Tuesday evening when he brought the Liber- al candidates to task for many mis- statements with which they tried to impress the audience but failed miserably.

This exposition of Mr. Dennis’ did notseemtobeadrawingoardand onb raised a laugh.

Mr. Sharp was greeted with tre-

trict, and that they had every con- fidence in Mr. Sharp. Time and the speaker was applauded w en he ooreroted Mr. Dennis on his statements in connection with Faloonwood hospital and many other things.

ernment at Ottawa and also from the minutes of the Order in Coucil, he left no doubt in the minds of the fishermen of,the district that their oyster fishing nights had been signed away by the Liberals sitting in Charlottetown in 1027.

Mr. Sharp contended this was a sacred trust which by an “Order in Council" the Liberal Party had be- trayed. leaving the fishermen with no rights at all.

MR. BARBOUR

Mr. Barbour opposing Mr. Sharp. and a former Provincial Police of- ficer, spent most of his time com- plaining about the R. C. M. P. One of his chief reasons for complaint was that the head man, Mr. Fripps could not drive a motar car and that the Mounties did not have their clothes made in Charlottetown.

Mr. Barbour was not very en- thuaiastic over his own party, as he remarked, "he was not married to the Liberal Party" but would do his bit for the people.

MR. ROGERS

Mr. Rogers was warmly applaud- ed as he came forward to address the gathering. He exprassed his ap- preciation of the trust that the people of GIenWOOd had placed in him and would endeavour to be worthy of their confidence. He ably reviewed the record of the Comer- vativea which was received’ with much applause.

MR. DENNIS‘ REBUTTAL

In his rebuttal Mr. Dennis rather startled the audience by saying that whichever party‘ were returned either Liberal or Conservative. if they could not do better than he previous Liberal Government cy shuld be voted out of office and we must try a new party.

He was supported in these rather startling remarks by Mr. r-Tward Sharron in a lively speech at the close of theimeeting.

Conservatives Get Fine Reception At Alberton Meeting Government Speakers Loudly Ap-

plaudedAtEnthusiastic Gathering —- Splendid Address By Mr. JJ-I.

Myers, M.P.

The large and ccmmodious In- stitute hall at Alberton was filled to overflowing on Wednesday night for the third joint meeting in the 1st District of Prince.

It was rather a favourable sign for the success of the present Government that a very royal welcome was given to Mr. John H. Myers, Conservative member for Queen's County, and Mayor Kennedyof Charlottetown, who were visitors at the Alberton horse race in the afternoon.

The pleasing and informative address delivered by the Mr. Myers who spoke in support of the Con- servative candidates, was most enthusiastically received by the audience, who had got rather weary of listening to Mr. Camp- bell's rambling tirade on petty dif- ferences that had taken place be- tween him and Hon. W. J. P. Mac- Millan.

Mr. Christopher Metherail, a former Liberal representative in the Provincial Legislature. presid- ed most impartially and very cord- ially welcomed the distinguished guests to Alberion.

Mr. Henry Peters opened the meeting and in a very construc- tive address outlined the work of

the MacMillan Government and the hearty applause accorded him was ample proof that his remarks had been well received and that the MacMillan Government had the backing of the intelligent el- ectorate. -

Mr. Aeneas Gallant

Mr. Aeneas Gallant, Liberal can- didate had a poor reception and his rather tiresome remarks about the extravagance of streamlined cars for the Government officials and his statementflfhat, his gov- ernment if returned would only have one (for the Minister of Public Works) did not make much impression.

The audience were rather sur- prised at Mr. Gallantk attitude with regard to education. How can anyone know what the education- al needs of the Province will be in years to com or whether the present educat onal system will be in use in generations to come, he asked.

Mr. Gallant, after several inter- ruptions, said it was a waste of time for him to talk of the polit- ical situation as the farmers knew more about politics‘ than he did.

Mr. George Matthews

Mir. Matthews was accorded a wonderful reception by the aud- ience. He very convincingly placed before the e‘ ‘ ‘ the campaign of his party and promised them his support if elected. He inted out that to hear the Liberals talk one would think that the Con- servatives werv: to blame for the depression but the depression was here a year before the Liberals went out of power and the Con- servatives had established a mag- nificent record of achievement in bringing the country through so successfully, providing work and giving relief. (Applause).

Mr. Thane A. Canfpbell

Mr. Campbell in his third night of addressing audiences in his constituency failed to enlighten the audience as to the Liberal platform, but tired them so long- with explanations as u. what hop-I

penned at Tignish and complain- ing that Dr. MacMilian went to Charlottetown to announce his platform, that a voice in the aud- ience called out, "stop talking about Dr. MaoMillan."

But he still went on discussing Dr. MacMillan and his platform until he was asked to discuss his own-

“We have not heard yours yet," someone in the audience called out. Mr. Campbell showed the re- mark w pass by saying “r11 dis- cuss it."

The only reference Mr. Camp- bell madc to his platform was that they thought it might be feasible to establish a Central Jail Farm, but were not able to formu- late a definite plan.

He also promised an investiga- tion into the price of school books, the gasoline tax and canned po- tatoes.

He also spoke at great length criticizing the highway at present under construction, which criti- cisms-were dealt with by Hon. Mr. Myers in his able speech.

Mr. Campbell also said we do not wish to bring into the heat of a political campaign the question of reduction of school inspectors, but if we think it is feasible to do with fewer inspectors in the in- terests of economy it will be con- sidered.

After speaking for over an hour lvlr. Campbell said he would not weary the audience any more.

Mr. J. H. iVLyers, MP.

Mr. Myers was warmly applaud- ed as he came forward to address the people on behalf of the Con- servative candidates. He spoke a little on federal politics and warn- ed. the people in voting ajainst any measure that would out down on public works as that would be

M-__._.

slated in fostering the breeding of pure . bred livestock and other branches of farming.

He mentioned also the assistance thattheli’ ‘ iSchooiwould be to the young farmer, and also the fishermen! short course.

Another plank in the Conserva- tive party platform which is of great importance, Mr. MacNutt said, was the continuance of grants m m- hibitions, fisheries and fox shows, (Loud applause).

Uberll Candidate Retires From Platform

Just at the close of Mr. MacNutVs speech, when Mr. T. M. iLinkletter should have been ready to speak for the Liberal side, it was u-DDOUXIOGG by the chairman that Mr. Linkletter did not feel well and that Mr. Allen would speak in his place. However, after Mr, Allen had taken up the full time allotted t0 the candidate, Mr. Linkletterretumed and spoke for almost fifteen minutes, leaving the remaining candidates a little crowded for a. time.

‘ MR. L. R. ALLEN

Mr. Allen spoke for a few min- utes on the extravagances of the Provincial Government and then launched into Federal politics, talk- ing of potatoes, sugar prices, etc. Asked by some one in the audience what is the price of sugar today, Mr. Allen admitted it was about the same as four years ago. Although repeated calls were made for the

discussion of Provincial politics, Mr. Allen spoke so long on Federal mat- ters that he neglected to say any- thing about his party platform or anything constructive from s. Liberal viewpoint.

MR». LINKLETIER RETURNS

Just at the conclusion of Mr. Ai- len's long talk on the Federal situa- tion, Mr. Linkletter returned feeling better and spoke for fifteen minutes, encroaching on his opponent's time. At the outset, Mr. Lirtkletter said, he expected someone would ask him 1 why he had left the Conservative party, so he thought he would give his reason at the start.

Having occasion to buy a piece of farm machinery of some type he had found that the Conservative tariff was detrimental to the price.

He said that the extension of time to the fishermen was no good as the lobsters were scarce and prices low.

disastrous to the country- He took up Mr. Campbell's many criticisms and was applauded again and again as he effectively dealt with them.

Mr. Myers did not consider the Central Jail Farm a good policy. The idea had been tried out at Mount Herbert Orphanage for the older boys and had not proved a success.

Answering the criticisms on the gasoline tax he said the price was reduced 1% cents and that boiled it down to Vi a cent and he knew that Dr. MaoMilian was investi- gating the price of gasoline and that we may get it very much cheaper.

Mr. Myers said he did not think it advisable to can potatoes as Mr. Campbell suggested, as that would mean a carry over and create a situation the same as in the wheat country out west. He was roundly applauded when he referred to the Conservative grant to fishermen so that they could learn how to cure their fish and extend their markets and obtain better prices.

He emphasized the fact that through the policy of this Govem- ment no French trawlers had been licensed this year. He asked the people not to go too fast with the highway construction.

Mr. Myers concluded an elo- quent speech by asking for the support of both the MacMilian and Bennett Governments, two of the most outstanding governments Canada has known and who are

being pointed to with- pride and admiration by men in high stand- ing the world over. S.

the disgruntled attitude of the Lib- eral candidates on the shortcomings of the MacMillan Government, Mr. 3 Arsenault brought up the matter oi the extension of ten days to the lob- ster fishermen. Mr. Idnkletter had said the extension was of no use as lobsters were scarce and prices low. Mr. Arsenault did not think any reasonable body of men would blame the Government for something over which the Government had no con- trol. Mr. Linkletter had criticized but had not offered a remedy. Continuing Mr. Arsenault said he was rather disappointed that the two Liberal speakers who had ad- dressed the meeting had not read their party platform, but he hoped that Mr. Marin Gallant would make up for their shortcomings.
