erciso his franchise conscientiously and with a full understanding of the heavy responsibility which ac. companies so great a privilege. Any election is an thing. A Provincial general elec- tion, deciding as it does the por- sonnel and policies of the govern- ment of the Province for the next

four years, is d! supreme import-

ance to all of us, We, o! the Pro- gresiive-Conservative Party. have endeavoured to approach this Elec- tion with a full and honest appre- ciation of that importance. Our nominating conventions were call- ed early so a8 to give each District ample time to make the best pos- sible selection of candidates.

All of these Conventions have selected for all of the districts an admirable group of candidates. They are men of ability and integ- rity. who in their respective com- munities. have made their mark in various activities, as fanners. as fishermen’. as business men, as professional men, and many of them as veterans with Q, splendid

Should this Atla-ntic-to-Pacific road be constructed on a Domin- ion Provincial basis. the PIOJBC! would decidedly add weight to the contention of W. Chester B. Mc- Luro and others from P.E.I. that the Borden-Tormentine ferry should be regarded as part and parcel of a national highway system and hence should carry passengers and freight free of charge between the Island province and the mainland.

A largenumber of men of the Baptist Men's Association listened with rapt attention last eveninl to Dr. F. W. Patterson, president of Acadia University. who in an inspiring address suggested the need of men for the church and the need of the church for men.

Dr. Pstterson' ommend- ed the Baptist men for their lead- ership in the local church and c0- operation in denominational ent- erprises. and urged them to not their sights for even greater ach- ievemento.

Dr. J. A. Clark thanked the speaker on behalf of the Associ- stion.

Blaine Increased imlennitios Taken‘ At last Session

“It is an amazing thing to me that the Jones Government refus- ed to grant wage increases to the packinghouse workers while at the same time increasing their own lndemnlties.“ said Irving Toombs. 0.0.11‘. candidate for-Fourth Prince at Augustine Cove last night.

Charging that the sessional in- demnity for many members of the Legislature had been increased from four hundred to six hundred dollars a year in the guise of an expense account, Mr. Toombs said "and this was done at a secret session of the House when the public and the press were exclud- ed. Evidently these gentlemen found it. difficult to justify this action to the voters in an election year”. continued the spoalsr- “and they hoped that it could be kept covered until after the voting was over. We wonder.” concluded the COP speaker, “horw these members could condemn the workers rf this Province for asking a small in- crease in wages over the period of s year for hard and unpleasant labor while they themselves con- sidered tho cost of living to be rising so fast that they needed an extra two hundred for one month's slumber in the legislature.”

Rev. J.W.A. Nicholson outlined

ernsnent in Saskatchewan over the past three years. "i-ince Edward Island is the same type 01 PPOV" qnce," 551d Mr, Nicholson. "We can have similar benefits — but only by electing a CC!‘ govern- ment. The old parties have proved over a century that they have no intention of doing these things for the people."
