Cardigan Meethit; Indicates Continued Trend Of Cam-

l Despite the inclement weather and bad road conditions there was a large attendance at the joint. po-

litical meeting a‘. Cardigan on Wednesday night. The chairman was Mr. Russell McLaren.

' Dr. A. A. MacDonald. the Con- servative candidate, and Mr. H. F. lMoPhee, were given an enthusiastic reception

l It was intended that Senator ‘John A MacDonald of Cardigan would take some of Mi‘. Mc-Pheeks time but Dr. Grant. Liberal can- didatc, entered strong protest and the Conservative candidate did not

Dr. Giant. the first speaker, re- ferred to Dr. MacDonald's state- ment that the money for public works was voted for King's Coun- try at the same rate when the member WilS away through illness as when he was at Ottawa. He claimed the estimates iverc voted before he became iii.

The speaker read from a. report, which he received from Charlotte- WWII. of the extent and amount of Dublic works carried on in King's County during the two years iin- mediatefw/ following the election of the ltiuckcnzio King Government.

Dr. Grant made several unsuc- cessful attempts to refute stale- mcnls of his (ilipfififllih [nude m, the Georgutouui meeting.

He admitted that he had done nothing for Cllfdignn n5 543115291‘ MacDonald had made “a good job" of looking after the him-e.

The speaker reviewed the record of the King Government and ac. cuscd his Conservative opponents of using destructive criticism in this campaign.

D1‘. Clmni bcnsfed that he would . be elected on Mackenzie King's name and that he didn't have ‘to make promises this time,

He expressed concern about. the formation of a cabinet in the Na- tional Government. This would re- quire at least n month, lie declar- ed, and would hamper tire pro- secution of the war. Ho also thought that Di‘. Iiinnion should name his cabinet before the election.

The speaker accused Dr Mac- Donnid of bringing "hooiliums" to the Georgetown meeting for the purpose of hockling him. "He went in the house to gel them," Dr. Grant said. “He. brought an ex- polaio inspector who claimed he was not a political partisan yet he spoke for the Conservative party."

men for their catches, though they had been promised better prices by Dr. Grant.

“Any improvement in agriculture . can be traced to Bennotvs Ot-l tawa Trade Agreement," he de- clared.

In refuting s. misstatement of Dr. Grant's to the effect that Dr. lManlon favored conscription, Dz" MacDonald said the leader of the Conservative Party had declared emphatically that “there would be no conscription. it would not be] necessary and would interfere with voluntary enlistment."

He cited the failure of the King Government to end unemployment as they had promised to do.

“Dr. Grant. has made the state- ment that he had fooled the 0- pie once and that he will do i a- gain," the speaker said. (laughter).

" never went to see the peo- ple last year, he is either ashamed or frightened to g0 through the country," Dr. Mnéljlcgiulcl said. Ai this point Dr. Grant interrupted the speaker and had to be called to order.

"Before the last election, Dr. Grant went through the country threatening old people that if the Conservatives were elected that they would lose their old age pen- sions. "If the Liberals ivere elected the pensions would be rais- ed from s15. to $20. he continued ‘The old age pension had not been increased," the speaker added.

Dr. IviacDoriold said that he did not want to be elected on the

strength of emptytloromiscs, but if elected he would o all he could to ussLst in getting legLslation pass- ed which would be beneficial t0 the country.

He appealed to the electors for their support on March 26 and ask- ed them to vioic for the election of Di‘. Manion who had so gallantly fought. for them in the last war and who would carry on the stupendous task of working for the succesful completion of this con-

lion, M. R. ltlcGuigan

Hon. M R. McGuigan,‘M.L.A.. asked his listeners to review the records of the candidates in the field before deciding who should lend them during the next few years. He said the issue was not 411 about the war and the ma-n who was to lead the people musi be considered.

The six-akcr confined his re- marks mostly to criticisms of the Bennett administration and also’ touched on the record of the King l Government. 1

He ariiniiicd there was always a , certain amount of patronage but. stated that the Government was‘ keeping clear 0i Dal-MIXES‘? in war, time

everymie was out of work."

He went on to tell his listeners that this was "n very prosperous country at present."

In closing he referred to the poor order in Georgetown Hall. where he had been tendered a very poor reception at the Joint p0- litical meeting on Monday night.

When Dr. Grant. resumed his seat audience, Mr. Anfius l askril ihc question, l Grant and Mr. Mustard how many boys have you enlisted for overseas?“ His question was ignor- ed. Mr. MacGillivrary said he had three sons enlisted himself. “They ivere forced to enlist. h-rcnusc they could not find work and Dr, Grant refilsrd to nllmv them work on the road." he rlccinred.

Dr. MacDonald

Dr. MacDonald said that his 0D- ponrnt rvns not sticking to the questions of the dnv and rofcrzed i0 the need for careful handling of the truth on a pubiic platform. He refuted the statements that he had cot hoodlum; to attend the George- town meeiing for the purpose oi heckling Dr. Grant. “Accusations of this kind are not making friends

for Dr Grant." he declared.

Dr. Grant: “Not among the Tories "

Dr MacDonald: "Not among

decent people." He referred to the shameful treatment accorded Mr. Ted Jay who was fired from his position of notnlo inspector bv Dr. Grant. "It is disgraceful to discharge a man who fought for you and me and that great family which Dr. Grant boasts about," he said (Applause).

The money for public works had to be spent lo keep the wharvcs and buildings in repair, the speak- er declared.

Dr. MacDonald spoke of the sfurxrndous task before the British pirc today in fighting for a successful termination of the pre- sent struggle. l-ie cited the lack of neparcdness of Canada at the out- break of hostilities due to the blunélcring of the Liberal Govern- men .

The speaker rev-lowed the war ef- pnesenl, Government and denmmced them for "the G-raf Spec performance in, Parliament. on Jan. 25th."

He reviewed some of the entic- ing promises made bv his oppon- ent n the last cnmnaiml find hi! failure to implement
