Men and Women of Prince Edward Island: "es oa we | | : co. E

Wc: talind: than ete damnley thane ba S067 Gao 2008 and now, in 1959, we have an opportunity to hear them and heed them once again- Almost twenty-fi years of Liberal rule in this province has underlined history’ s lesson that long years in office make a government weak, neglectful of the public interest, cs: tul of the fact that they are the elected representatives of ALL the people, and not a government of special privilege to the favoured few.

ST nner er

The Conservative Party is convinced that the electors of Prince Edward Island will remind the Liberal administration of their neglect, mismanagement and for- getfulness on September ist by electing at the polls a Progressive Conservative Government . . . A new government, a revitalized government, & government sincerely dedicated te bringing te every man, woman and child on the Island a new measure of epportunity and human betterment.

We are confident of our ability te fulfill this pledge to you because of the variety and high order of the skills our candidates bring before you—the electorate, Truly, these men have been selected from the highest level of the occupations and professions they represnt. It is fitting that agriculture is the chosen: work of 50% of the Conservative candidates, many of them with national reputations in this field. Many are successful businessmen associated with the farming and fishing industries; others are prominent lawyers and doctors. The fact that such outstanding candidates have placed their namés before the electorate gives

5 added weight te our conviction that the men and women of the Island say—‘IT'’S TIME FOR A CHANGE! FP

But we come before the electors of this Province with more to offer than a fine team and the need for a change. We have'a program, a carefully thought-out ___ Program, &@ program created from an intimate knowledge of the needs of our citizens, from a critical examination of the lamentable performance of the Liberal regime. Moreover, we sincerely Gotiente our energy and our talent to turning this program into accomplished fact. There are many planks in our platform which

we wil place before you. In part, however, we pledge. ou ourselves to:

® IMMEDIATELY PAY ALL TEACHERS’ SUPPLEMENTS FROM PROVINCIAL REVENUES THUS REMOVING ere FROM OUR SCHOOL SYSTEM AND LIFTING AN IRKSOME FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY FROM THE SCHOOL DISTRICTS.

Men and women of Prince Edward Island. You made the decision in 1957 and confirmed it in 1958 that you wanted new faces, fresh eas af Ottawa. The elev tors of the Island led the Conservative victory and made history when we became the first province in Canada te have a solid Conservative delegation of Federal members to represent us there. Not for a moment has any man, woman or ehild had eause te regret this decision for there has beon a new deal in Can-

ada, a new deal im the Maritimes from which every one of us hes benefited. ¢

Consider these aspects of the new deah *

AND NOW THE CAUSEWAY, Which party do you think has the best opportunity to recelve a sympathetic hearing and recognition of our sill in Glnna? Con Siatenibinr task you. will cast your vote—the choice is yours—either to keep the Liberal party with its dismal record of failure even with the former Federal Liberal regime and its con- sistently begrudging, dog-in-the-manger attitude to the friendly, out-stretched. hand of John Diefenbaker . . or, and the alternative is clear, do you think the 5 ' interests of Prince Edward Island will be better served by, a Conservative administration at Charlottetown, a government in line with the one in power at . Ottawa arid with our ewn four Federal members. Our claims will thus be assured of a vigorous, united representation.

The choice is elear. Stick te the decision you maue in 1957 and 195% and elect a CONSERVATIVE GOVERNMENT on September first: .
