Itispiired by a wildly cheering and enthusiastic audience which packed l-liope River Hall, Conservative speakers drove the hapless opposi- tion candidates from pillar to poet last evening. Although advertised as a joint political meeting. this whoring ‘ “ assumed the complexion of a Conservative rally. as Messrs. Thomas Wigmore and Theophihis Beaten with the power- ful support of Hon. Walter Mac- Kenzle demolished the entim Liberal propaganda structure. Mercllessly they followed Mr. W. I‘. Alan Stewart and w. D. N. Moc- Ksy to the very roots or every at- bmptcd bluff and misrepresents- tion, and examined every statement advanced by their opponents.

‘Prue. the opposition candidates vowed criticism which was feeble and unconvincing, but the Conser- vative sDealeers did not hesitate to discus arguments advanced in other constituencies and crush them under the weight of logic. The task was well begun by Messrs. Wigmore and Boston. Mr. Moc- Kenzie completed it to the entire satisfaction of even the most ardent Conservative present.

Mr. Cedric Simpson presided to the satisfaction oi all.

Finances Discussed i, I

Mr. Stewart announced he would dismiss the Public Accounts, and quoted figures to show Lib- eral surpluses, neglecting to state that the Liberals had created their smpluscs by charging gravel to capital account. He calculated idiatPr-ince Edward Island paid s. million dollars a year to the Dom- inion. The speaker " ‘ the inuease of insurance notes and banned it on the government. and referred to domiciled companies

At Taxpayers’

With Sneers!PremierMacMillan-Hi

In Charlottetown yesterday, and throughout the Province, the chief topic of interest was the astonishing revelations made by Premier MacMillan in his speech in the Capitol Theatre Tuesday night, with regard to the responsibility of the late Liberal Government in refusing, at the request of the Finance Minister in the Mackenzie King administration, to co-operate in 1929 with the Con- servative Governments of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick in pressing for subsidy claims settlement.

LEA MISSTATEMENT EXPOSED

The excuse invariably offered by Mr. W. M, Lea and his supporters for failing to obtain subsidy settlement from

crease in trade, not on the world-

the King Government was alleged failure on the part of the other Maritime Provinces to co-operate, The evidence produced Tuesday night by the Premier, from the corres- pondence oi‘ ex-Premier Saunders with Hon. J. A. Robb, proved Mr. Leo's statement to have been not only false, but a malicious slander on the Conservative Premiers of New Brunswick and Nova Scoiia, with each of whom the Liberal ex-Premier admitted having on several occasions “declined to co-nperate” in pressing for subsidy settlement. He had declined also “to have anything to do with a pro- posed meeting of the Maritime Board of Trade in this connection.”

Calculated on the basis of the $150,000 subsidy in- crease obtained last year by the MacMillan Government, the loss to the Province, in Liberal failure to co-operate in obtaining subsidy readjustment in 1929 amounts to $750,000.

UNDER LIBERAL RULE .

Another revelation from the Saunders correspondence read by Premier MacMiiian was with respect to the con- temptuous attitude of Prime Minister Mackenzie King to- ward Mr, Saunders’ efforts to interview him personally on this matter.

The correspondence also showed that notwithstanding the Liberal boast that 1929 was the most prosperous year in Canada's history, this Province, in Mr. Saunders’ words, “has not prospered this year as have the other Provinces of Canada,” that it was facing “the worst financial condition” of many years. with the 50i- tom out of the potato market and agriculture at a standstill; with public health absolutely neglected for lack of finances, with the school teachers on the verge of a strike, and numerous other difficulties, all demanding immediate relief, and all dependent on obtaining inc-eased federal subsidy. Mackenzie King's answer to this heart- breaking petition-raise read by Premier- MaeMliian-was a masterpiece of callous disregard and contempt, the Liberal Prime Minister of Canada refusing even to see the Liberal Premier of this Province to discuss the matter personally! _
