“To my mind the question of paramount import- ance in this election is the question of our revenue. The time has come when the Government-of this Prov- ince should not be permittedany longer to play hide- and-seek and blind-mams-bluff with this matter. We should get our claims-implemented without any fur- ther delay, because for want of that money our public services are suffering, our people, in many cases, who have to perform public services are not paid as they should be paid. For these reasons I submit that you should elect whichever party you consider is most like- ly to succeed in implementing these claims.”

With this subject as his key-note, Hon. J. D. Stewart, K. (3., Conservative party leader, in one of the most masterly political addresses ever heard in Charlottetown, opened the Conservative campaign at a rousing meeting held last night in the Capitol Thea- tre. The attendance, despite the unfavorable weather conditions, was very large, and the applause, frequent through Mr. Siewarfs address, was at times deafening. In addition to the many hundreds who heard him in the theatre, thousands throughout the Province listen- ed in on his speech over the radio.

Many Of Roads In Prince County Almost Impass- able-Cars Ditched On Way To Egmont Bay-— Tourists Wonder What’s Going On.

Many of the roads in Prince County at the present time are al- mrst impassable owing to the plies of sand which are being dumped on the highways with the idea, it is presumed, of improving or making up the road.

Just ct this season of the year when so many conventions, picnics and now political meetings are un- der way, it does not seem in the opinion of a good many trfl-ve-IIBPB to be the propar time to start road building. Earlier "in the spring would have been much better.

Reports have come to lnnd cf cars being ditched on the way to Egmont Bay on Sunday and also in different parts of East Prince the road was so heavy that a car was down to the hub in heavy sand making going almost impossible What good it is doing Just now, when visitors are arriving from a- broad to lnske the roads like ploughed fields it is difficult for the average citizen to understand.

steamer Ungavs left Montreal at noon today for her annual voyage to Hudsons Bay and Baffin Land. Included among her company are five missionaries, a Royal Canadian Mounted Police Ofllcer, an Americ- an, who will explore the interior of Labrador and several officers of the Hudsons Bay Company, owners of the vessel, who are returning to northern trading posts. Packed in the hold of the Ungava are a variety of supplies and lux- uries for the people of far north- ern outposts. A tally of 22 canoes is included in the cargo. Sheep, pigs and a. variety of poultry are also included.

Many people came down to the harbor carrying letters which they gave into the keeping of Captain John Alexander for delivery to friends about the Arctic circle. Captain Alexander took his wife with him on this voyage, and in- stalled s rsdlo set in his cabin for her benefit.

It is a great relief to me that the treaty is now settled and it has been a. long and a very difficult period of negotiation. During all the time, however, there has been the most hearty and cordial re- lations between ourselves and Aus- tralia. Only the great distances made the working out of details somewhat difficult.
