CANDIDATES
Al Illlfllllld M_¢¢__iiog_ at Pownal Enthusiastic
lllltllellw Gfeeted Candidates. Messrs. Nl¢l\°l9°“ lliil _Martin Delivered liigorous and Impressive Speeches on the Grave
Issues at Stake.
I
The first meeting of the Queen’s
Countycampaign was held Monday night at Pownal. There was a large attendance and the speakers were all given an -attentive and courteous hearing. The seriousness of the spy. rit pervading the meeting was evi- denced not alone in the interest mani- fested in the different addresses ibut in the evident desire to treat serious matters seriously. This was clearly demonstrated when Mr. J. H. Palm. er, probably for want of better argu- ment, undertook to make a jest of conscrlptiirm_ He was promptly so-I bored by a voice “Don't. be childish"i accompanied by applause which clear- ly indicated that the interruption ex-' pressed the sentiments of the whole` audience. There was also a slight passage between Messrs. Nicholson and Warburton when the latter ln- tarrupted to disclaim any relationship between Laurier and Bourassa. Mr_I Nicholson howeverproved his point by quoting authority for hi-s state- ment which most of those pre-sont harp already read for themselves. | Mr. Sinclair, Liberal candidate was the first speaker. He spoke at const-I derable. length, keeping discrct-tly‘ clear' of vital issues. but leaving thc impression that. if elected. he would support Laurier. |
MR . ALEXANDER MARTlN'S
y SPEECH. I
Mr, Alex. Martin sold he was also
appearing before the olectors for the first time in this campaign. I-le had been in Pownal Hall a good manyi times, but never before was thc- oc-| casion so momentous. Prince Ed- ward island had seen u great many elections, but he was sure the pre-I sent election, at this awful crisis ln' thc- nation's history. was the most tar-reaching the province and the Dominion had ever witnessed or was likely to see again for a long time to' come. He doubted very much whe- ther any man or woman in that hall would evo: have n greater and more important responsibility cast upon lilm or her than that of deciding at the forthcoming election which party should guide the destinies of Canada in this war, is the Union Government, under the leadership of Sir Robt. Boi'-V den, and comprising thc- leading Li- berals and Conservatives in the Do-, minion," pledged to semi immediate sid to our troops at the front undi thus preserve from everlasting stain, the glorious reputation which .they have won for Canada, the party pledged to do everything within Its' power to win the war, or the dis- jointed party led by Sir Wilfrid Lau- rier, whose avowed intention as ex-_ pressed in his manifesto is to refuse to lend support to our gallant sol-. fliers. 'He did not think the electors would be In doubt In which direction their ‘bounden duty lay.
I-lc did not know that it was neces-
sary for him to follow Mr. Sinclair. who had addressed tc-hm in a very gentlemsnly manner -but not in any very ardent spirit of patriotism. Mr. Sinclair.had urged on them the great desirability of subscribing to the Vic- tory Loan. in this respect Mr. Mar- tin heartily commended him; but that was about the extent of his patriot- ism; for the rest, if he had any, It was very much disguised. Mr. Sinc- lair had begun by toning aiiouttiie dismissal of officials and had given some figures. He did not know whe- ther tlio figures were right or wrong. but he left it to the audience to llldge between the two parties in this l°6SD0Ct. What was the history of this province in regard to dismiesais? Mr. Martin asked. Was there over a pcriod in this province when thorn were fewer dismissuls after tho ail- vent of a new party than there had been in t.lie past. six yours? it wus Very easy to criticize. The Liberal candidates would have the audloifcc believe that if tho Liberals were in Dewar everything would go as smoothly as clock-work. That. of course. was absurd. -Governments “B Well as men were human and were BIWHYB apt to make mistakes. no mst- ter what party happened to bo in po- wer. -but the party that did not rea- lize its mistakes and try to rectify them was not worthy of the confidence Of the people. Mr. Sinclair had in- dlllSeii in a 'lengthy criticism of tho ffovernmcnt. Would hc say that in the I8 years during which Sir Wilfrid Laurier had been in power he had made no mistakes? lie made' hun- dreds of them and would be wise enough to admit them. however ln- fallible his followers here might. in their enthusiasm. endeavour to make him appear to be. lie had made mistakes at the time of the Boer War, and it was silly for the candidates to allow their admiration to get the bet- ter of them to such an extent as to I0” Sltiht of their manifest short co- mli1_Rs. Some of Sir Robert Bor- dens followers had in the course of ovents made mistakes. and the Prime Minister refused to countenance them and caused the expulsion of the of- fenders from the House of Commons. And right here was the great differ- ence between Sir Robert Borden Mui the man whom Messrs Warbur- lllo and Sinclair were accepting as their leader. _Whereas Sir Robert Borden investigated the charges b"0U8ht against his followers and pu- nished them. sir wiiirin miami tn
""`°W lllht on the misconduct of
members of his party and shielded them in their wrong-doing.
Mr. ‘Sinclair had gone on to talk
about the Car Ferr is d it was won
n _
derful what hound his party would do. Weil, they had been in for 18 years and wh‘nt had they done in re- Klrd to winter communication? when “.9 (Mr. Martin) was in the House he pointed out to Sir Wilfrid that there ‘V“\‘0 56 days in one winter during
tion with thc- Mainland. and what was
IMS fellly? He said that the repro-`
_ sentatlou of the Island was dwindling and W0Uld dwindle year after year ‘until the province would lose its re. I presentation altogether. _That was all the satisfaction he gave The lConservatIve Party did not fum-9 in , the matter as fast as they might, ow. _ IDE T0 the Intervention of the war but ‘they made a great step towards' thc 'fulfilment of their promise wlien-_.as the Liberal government in 18 years did nothing. As regards the short. “ge 01' CMH. Mr. Martin said he had T109" Slleaking with a gentleman from Boston who _left the province. 27

Mr. Mar. tin told him they dill not need pota- toes in the United States as he iiii_ derstooii there was a. surplus of ono hu_ndre~il millions there.

(Ap- plause) Wihy would men like Car- vell and A. K. McLean join the go- vernnlent if it were so corrupt? Must the electorate regard as wrong all those staunch Liberals, who, in thg' interests of their country and the wel. furc of our brnvc boys at the front had for the time being sunk their pof litical feelings and united with the govt'-1-iiiiient in order more vigorous- ly 10 Drosecute the war to a success- ful termination so fnr ns Canada was concernedi’ Must. the electorate re- gard all those men as wrong and Messrs.

Mr. Martin quoted the exemption returns as follows:
'Up to last night the numbe~r ot' ap-
plications for exemption dealt with by the tribunals was 933. Of theso 40 were disallowed. that is 893 ot' tho 933 applications were exempted. On thc other hand. under the Laurier Mi. litia Act men were to be chosen -by ballot, so that a iuan and his five sons might hy luck escape conscriptiou, while his noigliibour---who might ho it mon ol' (I0--und his only son, might by tho same fate he both compelled I0 L10.

No one. said Mr. Martin. was more anxious that the Union Govern- ment should bc defeated and conscrip- tion abandoned than the Kaiser, for then he would have nothing further to fear from the stalwart sons of Cu- nada. Conscrlption might not -bo palatable. he said, but which was more palatable-Conscrlption on thc Kaiser? (Applause) Thai. was tho groat question. “Wo all have to suffer in this war," said Mr. Martlii. “'and wo will have to suffer ri good dc-.al more before It is over, and If a gun Iboat camo into -Charlottetown and fired two or three shots up Queen Street, I i]on't believe at a. meeting you would bc talking about dlsmlssals of officials or widening of gauge, but ubout the defence of your country." (Applause) "Ne-vcr in the history of Canada. never in the history of the Empire, never in the .history of thc world have we been faced with such a grave situation as that which exists to-day and there is pressing need for energetic measures to ensure our ul- timate vlctory. No one abhors the word conscrlptlon more than I do. but I REPEAT THAT IN THIS GREAT CAUSE IT SHOULD BE PUT IN OPERATION T0-DAV." Mr. Martin quoted the above words from :\ follower of Wilfrid Laurier, a Liber- at or to y:-ire standins who in loin- ing the llnlon Government addressed these words at it meeting of consti- tuents. That Liberal was further reported: "Although he stood there a Liberal of 40 years' standing and one who had followed Sir Wilfrid all his life and for whom he still enter- tained the highest respect. he had inow come to the parting of the ways." Why should a party man of such long standing leave his leader? W0\llfl

SIIIIHT CHANGES IN NIINIINATIIIN IINT
(Canadilan Press Despatch.)
OTTAWA, Nov. 20.--Reports of no-
minations received up to noon today did not materially change the line-up of candidates. The iiumIIr:»r oi’ Liberal ncclamutious in Quebec is'reducet1 by one by the announcement that Papi- neau, the Laurier candidate in Beau- harnois. is not included in the list of those elc-:ted by accIamation_ Union- Ist ucclamatlons still number eight.
minding them ot' the fate of the brave lads at the front if Sir Wilfrid Lati- rier with his avowed policy of pro- crastination and withdrawal from the war. were r:/turned to power.
it is not my intention to go deeply
into politics this evening. the reasons for such a course are obvious.
We are living in what may be term-
eil, the knell of matter and the crush of' worlds. Everything almost, Is changing and conditions are being rc- volutionized throughout the whole universe. 'I‘Iic minds and hearts of the people, i take it. are not so much upon the Election campaign, as thcyl are- upon the great war and what. is happening today l_n Europe.

I would be lax In my duty. li’ I did not again call your attention to the addition ot' $100,000 to our pro- vincial subslily. and tho completion of tho Car Ferry service betwcon thc two (lnpes, at u cost of iuany millions of dollars. in this regard.

'ITOLL FOR' THE BRAVE
“Toll for the Brave, the Brave that are
no more.” Today’s casualty list is a heavy one and contains the names of many well- known Islanders belonging to families highly esteemed ‘in the community. These boys heard the call of duty, the call of God, to go forth to defend their native land and all that they held dear and all that makes life wortbliving. They did not hesitate; they did not stop to argue whether. others should go or not; they were inspired with the true British spirit, the ‘Canadian spi- rit which lifts patriotism out of the rut of mere partyism and places it on a pinnacle with the highest ideals of religion.
