quote from this report: .

“The new Progressive Conservative movement had found its voice at the Port Hope conference last September. No doubt the proposals were startling to many people holding old ideas. But they formed the basis of a new charter for the common people. It was no Old-line Party mani- festo, but a spearhead, giving expression to a. rap- idly growing public sentiment not confined to any single political Party, The policy laid ClOWn by the Convention at Winnipeg further exemplified the extent to which the demands of the common people were being met. The new movement led by the Hon. john Bracken represented an honeit lt- tcmpt to find a satisfactory solution of the major problems which faced the country in a wartime period, and which would require a solution when the war drew to a close."

Here we have the genesis of the Progressive Conservative Platform in Prince Edward Island. It has behind it men of ability and integrity-Ju- cludirig some of our most prominent farmers.
