' the first opportunity to meet Premier Carnpbel one. ub- lic plntfonu ln his own dis rlct, flan. Dr. W. J. P. MncMillnn, Con- servative party leader. arrived in Tlgnish Monday evening In time for the first Joint campaign meet.- ln Second Prince, and received along with his party candidates Messrs. Matthews and Gnudet. n tremendous ovation from an audi- ence which filled the hail lo cnp-

deity.

Trsvellins by cnr from Char- lottetown, Dr. Macltiillnn was thrice held up by deep quagmires in the road which made traffic almost impassable. ills ‘eterminatiomhow- ever, was well rewarded at the meeting, which wbs overwhelming- ly Conservative in tone, notwith- standing the traditional Liberalism of the district and the bout of Liberal henchmen that "Mscltfilim wouldn't come." _

Pour years ago,

laqfprm, the Conservative lender sd declared that the Liberal pledge of n balanced budget could not be nohicvedhylfbout curtailing nocusnry expenditures. He was contradicted b Mr. Campbell. than Liberal cnmpaFgu leader. On Mon- darnldlt Dr. hhellliilnn repeated hi: statements. Premier Campbell to do likewise. The Premier Ignored the clini-

his 1935 platform.

Ile also sidestepped Dr. hoMll- lsn's questions regarding nd- rninlstrntion of the Prohibition Act, the illegality of the appoint- ment of Liberal membe to salar- ied positions in the Government service. the withholding of the right of appeal the reason for his calling the election at this unsuitable time, and other issues pertinent to the campaign.

Both the Premier and his col- league, Mr. Aeneas Gallant, were frequently interrupted and had the mortlilcation 0f sceln their cip- pancnts score point ter point. to the satisfaction of the audience.

A new mnn in the field. Mr. Gnndet made an exceptionally able spcechrsnd was received with a tremendous demonstration of sp- plsuse from bis fellow fishermen especially.

The Premier ‘led with his chin’ by boasting of flshermens loans and demanding "What flaliennen ever got s loan from the MacMil- inn Government?"

This retort was greeted withlmid applause and laughter.

"I submit that the fishermen of this district have profited as much as any district from the system we have inaugurated,” the Premier

Without replying, the Premier went 0n to talk about the con- struction of a fresh water well ser- vice for 'I‘igni.s.h Hun.

He did not know wiwt the Con- eervatives meant, he said, by put- ting fisher-men's loans on a. busi- ness basis. His Government had extended the term of payment. If the Liberals were returned they would, among other things, estab- lish experimental plants for the manufacture of 11m meal and oth- er flsh by-products.
