MB. SHELTON SHARP

That Mr. Sharp sflll has the pop- ular vote was evinced by the pro- longed applause when he rose to speak. He thanked the people of the 2nd District for returning him last October and hoped they would do the same now, more applause. Mr. Sharp successfully answered Mr. Mason's statements on Old Age Pensions stating that when Mr. Lea supported Mr. King on the 50-50 scheme for pensions, he knew perfectly well that this Province could not bear the burden. (Hear, hear.)

For Mr. McLean to say that Bennett proposal was a contribut- ory scheme was misleading. Hon. R. B. Bennett will fulfill his promise of 100 per cent as soon as con- ditions improve.

He showed up Mr. McLean's absurd statements that Bennett is tn blame forgthe Cuba situation and pointed out that it was the action taken by Mckenzia King Government in the West Indies agreement in which Cuba was discriminated against that caused the retailiation from Cuba.

He denounced the Lea Govern- ment statute labor gesture as a scheme to do honest men out of a day's work. (Hear, hear.)

Some controversy arose as to the‘

debt of the Province which was set- tled without contradiction by Mr. Sharp and Mr. Stewart. Mr. Dennis’ time was taken up with a declaration of all the prom- ises fulfilled by the Liberal gov- ernment. He had a somewhat noisy reception.

Hon. Mr. Stewart in a brilliant re buttal speech successfully answer- ed the Liberal statements as to the difference of the public debt. He proved conclusively that the Lib- eral party have no faith in their own cause re prohibition, subsidies or anything else. There is no guar- antee that taxes will not be in- creased if Mr. Lea should be elec- ted as he is the Father of Taxat- ion.

Mr. Stewart e-nphasized the fact thiit his Government reduced tax- ation. Referring to Mr. McLean's presence at the meeting Mr. Stew- art remarked that it was his duty to remain st Ottawa. as important legislation might be put through in connection with Prince County. He did not know why he was here un- less it was because he had received an S. 0. S. signal from this one time Liberal stronghold. (Applause) After a vote oi thanks had been

Going Strong In Fourth Kings,‘ Are Enthusiastically Received At St. Mary's Road.

Further evidence of the increas- ingly strong Conservatlve sentiment throughout the Province was given at the political meeting at. St. Marys Road on Tuesday night. Messrs. Maynard MacDonald, J. D- Macleod and Dr. W. J. P. MacMil- lan being given an enthusiastic

Mr. MacDonald, the first speaker. made a clear cut statement con- cerning the financial records of the two past administrations showing that the Lea Government held $300.- 000 a year more revenue than their predecemors, and that they borrow- ed $90,000 for road machinery the first year, together with $300,000 which they afterwards raised to hali a million; and yet they in- creased the debt in their four years

lllfr. MacDonald gave a. compre- hensive review of the different de- partments of Government, giving as an instance of the extravagance the increased expenditure at Falcon- wood Hospital, where, with an av- erage of 20 patients less, in their three years, they had spent $11,000 a. year more in operating expenses.

Mr. Mont Annear, Liberal can- didate, read a few extracts on roads and other things which had evid- ently been prepared ior him- He claimed there was a 4 per cent sales tax on school books, refened to an increase of subsidy under the late Premier Farquharson and Premier Peters aggregating_$l00,000 a year. and admitted that Chief Justice Mathieson, while premier, had se- cured a. similar amount, that Hon.

He tried to defend the pur- chase of $90,000 of road machin- ery over the telephone, and spent a lot of time explaining that the

DR. MACMILLAN

He was followed by Dr. MacMil- ian, who, from the time he started to speak, ‘carried the large audience with him as he nailed misrepre- sentation after misrepresentation oi the Liberal candidates. He contrast- ed the attitude of the Lea Govem- ment candidates regarding the question of a platform, as all gov- ernments in this Province, up to the present, have presented platfomrs or declarations of policy on appeal- ing to the people.

The Doctor quoted Premier Ian's statement at Egmont Bay, in which he admitted that only 80 per cent of his platform of 1927 had been implemented; also the Premier's repudiation of parts oi his plat- form, made at the Travellers Rest meeting, at which he blamed his former leader, Mr. Saunders.

Dr. MacMlllan spoke of the Con- servative platform, as not being dictated by one ‘man. but as hav- ing been agreed to by every 0on- servative candidate in the Province. The Conservative party, he said, respect their platform as a tentat- ive agreement offered to the people which they are bound to carry out honestly and sincerely, as the Stewart Government did in regard to its platform of 1923.

He then dealt with the finances, showing that the Lea Government, with a million and a half dollars more revenue than the Stewart Government, and after borrowing an additional $590,000, are leaving a debt of over one million dollars. In other words, they are adding fifty per cent in four years to the $2,000,000 debt which previous gov- ernments had left up to the year i927. "That," said Dr. MacMillan, "is their ‘platform,’ " because that is their record-one million addi- tional debt to the two millions al- ready existing since Confederation, and that in four years. Their rc- cord is one of borrowing, reckless- ness, extravagant expenditure and increased debt. (Applause).

The reaflssue in the campaign. he pointed out, is the settlement oi the subsidy claims ofthe Province. ‘mere are only two sources of rev- enue-that which comes from the Dominion Government by way of subsidies, or out of the pockets of the people. The Stewart Govern- ment had shown, in a manner which speaks louder than words, their consideration for the farmers of the Province, first in taking off the Poll Tax, which was nearly all paid by farmers, and secondly by reducing the land tax by 20 per cent, in accordance with their ci- ection platform oi 1923-

"New," laid the Doctor, “what has the present Government, with its “farmer Premier" at its head. ever done to lighten the burden of taxation on the runners? Absolute- ly nothing." (Applause).

"The only thing they have done is to increase the gasoline tax from 3 to 6 cents s. gallon, and that in- crease is paid to a great extent by farmers, who own a great many cars now. - '

In reply to Mr. Campbell. who said that Conservative Govern- mcnts had never done anything for education in the way of increasing teachers’ salaries, the. Doctor show- ed that Chief Justice Mathleson, when Premier, obtained $100,000 ad- ditional subsidy from Ottawa when no other province received one cent, and that approximately 50 per cent of that went to increase the teach- ers’ salaries. That, said the Doctor. "is a little different to what the

The Captain's arguments were so convincing that the audience, though heretofore of strong Liberal lean- ings, showed marked indications of a determination to walk bodily in- to the Conservative camp.

trict because they had not been condemned in their time. He cited the large number of iron and steel culverts constructed by the Con- servatives in their four years of power, and the long continued hp- plause which greeted this point showed plainly the attitude of the audience and indicated a record vote for the Conservative candidates on election day.

Dr. Grant then followed. He was evidently under the impression that the Dominion campaign in which he suffered such e. smashing defeat a year ago, was still the question under consideration. His speech was largely a rehash of election material on that occasion, inter- spersed with a few pointless an- necdotes. He wanted to know “Where was Hon. John A. MacDon- ald that he was not taking part in this campaign? Why isn't he here taking part like Mr- A. E. MacLesn.

tinually jeered at by the audience.

and he discretely ignored the re-

cord of the Saunders Government of which he was a. member.
