Remarks by Junior Member for Chariot. tetown Causes Much Ado in the Legislat-

ure.

The panic into which the members ind supporters of the Saunders Gov- rnment were thrown by a. casual satement by Mr. W. C. S. McLure ll the Budget debate, was evident at

gesterday moming‘: session of the

legislature, when a. concerted attack vas made - upon him by Messrs. taunders. LePage. McIntyre, Sin- dair. Wright, Cox, MacPhea end cthers. Mr. Helium's statement as shown by the following verbatim re- part of his rcmeaks. contained no charge against any one for violation cf the Prohibition law, although it was apparently so construed by cer- isin members. Their appeal to the Spealier, therefore. to force the Junior member for Charlottetown either to name the individuals he had referred to or retract, was plainly out of order. 'Ihis was pointed out by Hon. Mr. Stewart, leader of the Opposition. The Speaker, however, speaking so indistinctly thit Na full "statement could not be heard, asked Mr. Mc- Lurc to do as the Government mem- bers had suggested.

opened. Rising on a. _ - oi privilege, he maintained that Mr. McLure had made an insinuation, which might be construed by himself or any member as a personal insinu- aticn, when he stated in his s r‘ on the budget Thursday evening that he had seen two members of the House go into a. rum shop in Char- lottetown and come out with some bottles.

Hon. Mr. McIntyre declared that he would refuse to go home under the implication that he had frequented a bootleggers establishment.

The Speaker also accused Mr. Mc- Lure of charging members with pat- ronizing bootlcggers,

Mr. Mcllure denied the statement.

The Premier suggested that the matter be left over for consideration. but other members of the Govern- rnent insisted on “cleaning it up", and Mr. McIntyre, taking the com- mend out of the Premier's hand, led the attack.

.' Hon, Mr. Stewart pointed out that if the House desired an investigati -u. ‘they could appoint a special com- mittee of enquiry. With this sugges- tion Hon. Mr. McIntyre vigorously dis-arsed.

The Speaker asked Mr. McLurc to name the individuals he had referred m. or retract. On request of Mr. itewart he cited as "authority a.

tract a statement which was correct. It was barely possible that he was mistaken in the identity of the indiv- iduals he had seen. and in any case as he had made no charges of illegal conduct, and as it was, after all, a private matter, he did not feel called upon to divulge any names on the floor of the House. He had already offered to give the Premier the in- formation in private. He regretted that so many hon. members seemed to think the reflection was a personal one. Ha had no such intention in making the statement; but if every- one felt guilty that was a different matter. The following is a verbatim report of Mr. Mcliures statement in the Legislature. Thursday evening to which yeiicrclays heated objections were taken:— _ . .Mr. W. C. S. McLure: It was rather amusing yesterday to listen to one of the hon. ‘ members in condemning LTrernrrlent ontrol. He made the statement that over at Port Elgin, or Bale Verte, or perhaps in both places. he had séen. or someone had told him of having seen, a hian going into a place under Government 6:12.‘: and in ten minutes he was able to get three bottles of booze.

Hon. Mr. LePage: Correct.

Mr. Mcllure: Well, if he had work- ed rapidly. and if he had enough cash. he should have been able to bring out more than that in that time.

Hon. Mr. LePegc: I guess that is all the money he had.

Mr. Mcllure: That may be. Hiow- ever. the hon. membe from Rustico need not go to the neighboring pro- vince of New Brunswick to get in- formatilm of that kind. If he would take up a watchful position on some of the streets of Charlottetown he would be able in ace some men go' into a rum shop and in less than three minutes he could sec more

of that place. Why travel so far afield for information, when you can get it at your own door? I was rath- er surprised at the hon. member from Bustico wing so far to bring out a fact that he could sea every day right in the city of Charlotte- town.
