HIIIISINIS MEETING

III IIEHNIIN HIVEH

A joint meeting of Liberals and

(ionservaiives was held in Vernon River last night in the (‘. M. B. A. Hall, which was crowded to the doors. The meeting was called an the in- stance of the Liberal candidates, Messrs. F. J. Nash and George Forbes, and Mr. J. J. Hughes, M. P., who was also present, while Conservatives were invited to be present. The (lon- servatives present were the Premier, Hon. J. A. Mathieson, the candidates, Messrs. J, S. Martin and A. D. Ross and Mr, A. L. Fraser. The Chairman

was Mr. L. fl. Hayden.

Mr. George Forbes was the first

speaker, who had represented the dis- trict for several years in the Liberal interests. While he had been out of politics for quite ii number of years, his friends were glad to sec him back iii the arena again. ills spcocli con- sisted of u. brief review oi' the Lili- ornl platform, and he appealed for the support of the electors for himself and his colleague, Mr. Nash. in regard to the action of the Government in its assistance to the war fund he stated that it met with his entire approval.

He was followed by Mr. A. D. Ross.

who in a very neat and pleasing speech outlined and approved of the record of the present Government during the past iii/_, years. cspccinlly referring to the action the Govern- ment had taken in supplying musscl- inud to the farnicrs in the inffcrior of the country.

Mr. l~‘. J. Nash was tho next speak-

er, who opened his address with a fairy tale which caused niuch amuse- ment and was received with much applause by the junior element in the audience. He then reviewed in detail the financial situation ol' the province flaring the past four years. In this he made several extravagant charges against the Mathimon administration, for which all the time he received some applause from his supporters. His endeavour to misrepresent the Public Accounts of the first year of the administration was a master- piece of endeavour. Among other matters which he dealt with were the automobile question, the dog tax. pub- lic works and school mattiers. He ex- pressed himself as being totally op- posed to the automobile. Mr. Nash worked himself up to considerbie heat before he got through, but in spite of

' his aggressiveness he was not as con-

' vincing as the Patrioffs "Doomed Ma-

thieson Government” attitude would lead one fo expect. He was handled very effectively by the Premier as will be stated later.
