Captain Mack, 2.11 1-2, fresh from victories in Nova Scotia, will also take part and a whole bunch of others ‘will fill in the minor roles. 2.22 Trot and Pace has eighteen en- tries and it is very probable that elimination heats will be required. as if there are twelve starters this rule must be enforced. 1t will take a. smart man Ito pick a winner in that class. The 2.30 Trot and Pace also has another great big entry list, no less than, eighteen answer- ing Jim's call.

Meeting

Tho meeting of the 3rd dist-lot of Prince at Spring Valley ou Tucs- day ovoning was very orderly, all candidates being given a good hear- ing. Mr. Kenneth Champion was the very efficient chairman.

Mr. Ramsay opened the moetin! for the Liberals. but had vory little to say except that hovdid not want to get into politics as ho thought a. farmer had enough to do without that. Ho admitted there had been slight mistakes and tho debt of tho present administration was double that of the Conservative Govern- ment.

Mr. McNutt gave an able address on finance denouncing the extrav- agant expenditure of the Lea ad- ministration He dealt at some length with tho non fulfillment of the Prohibition Pledges of the Saunders-Lea Government. It is noticeable that the Liberal candid- ates have nothing to say on this matter- Mr. Stewart has a clear cut policy and intend: to fulfill every promise made. Lea. has nothing definite to offer to the electorate at this election, only excuses and broken records. Many true temperance wrokers recognizing how they have been fooled by the base methods of tho government have left the party al- together, as they have no more con»- fidence in them. Mr. McNutt was ‘sure that the Old Age Pension was very neces- sary to many elderly people in this province. He knew personally" of many cases where it would bo l great blessing and would make life brighter and more secure for many old people, who for some reason or other have not enough of this world's goods to ensure comfort in their old age. He would make every effort to secure the old ago pen- sion for Prince Edward Island if elected. Mr. DesRoches in his endeavour to draw the attention of the people from Lee's sorry record, made much of the fact that Stewart during his term of office had abol- ished the 'l‘echnicai School. He also complained that they had abolish- ed tho pool tax and reduced the assessable indemnity on the land tax. He also stated that the major- ity of people were not in favour of the Old Age Pension as they would not be affected, but he thought his government would adopt 1t. In detailing expenses incurred by his Government while in office Mr. DesRoches stated they had spent $4,000 Vin marking the roads. (Laughter).

"old A. n" and were plainly dino-

polntcd. It must have been because ho found it hard to excuse such a sorry record as tho present Liberal party. In his long debate on Fod- eral politics ho said that this province will never got the Old Ago Pension.

He had a little to say about the exposure of the cracked highway in the Guardian newspaper. As tour- ists would be afraid to travel over such a cracked highway as the Mc- Intyre one.

It was very noticeable that Mr. McLean carefully avoided the Beau- harnola report- he was afraid Mr. Arsenault or Mr. Arnett might hit too hard in reply.

Mr. Arnett gavo an able address in support of tho Conservative can- didates and in answering some of Mr. McLean's remarks on Federal issues, said it was a. good thing for this country that they had a man like Mr. Bennett at the head of sf- fairs.

Mr. Arnett discussed the local situation dealing chiefly with the deplorable state of tho finances of the Iea admlxustratlon.

Score Co n vincingly At-Freeto w - Meeting, Premier’s “R. O. P." Analyzed And Found Wanting.

Tho joint political meeting at

Freetown in the fourth district on Tuesday evening was decidedly rough towards the last. Some noisy individuals evidently not interested in either side created a. disturbance at the door and interrupted Col. Dawson and Wright, the Chairman, Mr. Silas MacFarlane was unable to quiet them. They finally left, but not before they had spoiled the meeting for others. Whether it was Hon. Dr. John McNeilPs long speech on libderal politics, or Mr. Wright's longwlnded rebuttal that tired the people, it was hard to say, but the audience began to leave toward the close and no one remained behind for the National Anthem.

later Hon. Horace

I-Ion. Horace Wright was the first

speaker and brought nothing new into his political argument except to take the credit to himself and of the Lea. Government for improving the potato business.

His colleague, Hon. Mr. Lea, was

absent from the meeting on ac- count, Mr. Wright said, of a Liberal rally at Charlottetown.

MARIE WOMEN'S INSTITUTE The regular monthly meeting of

Marie Women's Institute met at tho home of Miss Currie Sanderson, on

Tuesday evening, July 14th, with an attendance of twelve members. Tho r ident presided and the meeting opened with the singing of tho In- stitute Ode, followed by roll call, which was answered by "My Favor- lto Gordan Vegetable." Committees gave their reports. Mrs. Bruce Web- ster and Mrs. Oswald Dlngweil were appointed sick committee for next month. A very interesting report 0f tho Annual Convention of Women's Institutes was given‘ by the dolo- gates, Miss Beatrice Battcesby and Mrs. Bruce Webster.

The matter of Dental Clinics was then discussed by the members.

The Secretary reported the ex- penses of the District Convention and it was moved and seconded that this amoun tbe paid.

Mr. Arsenault in’ his speech re- plied to Mr. Desltoche‘: statement that the Stewart Government had abolished the Technical School. Only, emphasized Mr. Arsenault, because the King Government at Ottawa had abolished tho grant to maintain it and tho revenues of the Province were not sufficient to keep it going, nevertheless wo ra- tained many of the activities of the school which were considered of value and importance to agricul- tural education. We organized night schools in several sections of the country, and sent experts to lecture to large classes. When the Liberals came into office they ab- olished this system and attempted to give lectures over the radio, pre- sumably because the Liberal agri- cultural politicians were not desir- ous of driving many‘ miles over the bad roads to meet the farmers in their homes but would prefer to remain at home and use the radio which is a. poor substitute for the personal ‘interview.

Tho speaker next went on to de-

nounce the Liberal party for the poor managerne it they had shown

in regard to the school text books.

which they frequently changed without consideration for tho poor

man's pocket. The bungling of the

school supply was a byo word in

every school district.

Our school children have been

deprived of tho necessary school

books on gccount of tho cost and

lack of method in seeing that thero

is an adequate supply.

Hon. Mr. Stewart baa promised

to coicrporota with the other Marl-

time Provinces to obtain cheaper

books and to see that they are not

changed so frequently as under the

Liberal regime, which is a source

‘of annoyance to paronir and an

necessary nso. (Applause).

Mr. Araenoult spoke briefly on the

disgraceful record of tho 14o Gov-

ernment and said it was no wonder

they were afraid to have o. plah

form, as most of the promises of

their last platform were still wait-

ing for fulfillment. (Applause).

The next meeting will be held at the homo of Miss Beatrice Batters- by, roll call to be answered by “A Current Event."

Votes of thanks were tendered to Miss Sanderson and to the delegates attending the Convention. A de- licious treat of ice cream and cake was served.

‘The meeting closed by singing the National Anthem.

BONSIIAW WOMEN'S INSTITUTE The July 14th meeting of Bon- shaw Institute was held at the

sixteen members present and one visitor. The meeting opened with the Ode, followed by Creed in unl- son. The minutes of last meeting

report on tho convention held in Charlottetown. A bill for ice cream for the school children was ordered paid. It was decided to paint the school during tho holidays and to have a. lawn party on July 23rd. with a special meeting on Friday, 17th, to arrange for tho some. Lunchco - was served by tho host- osa and tho meeting closed by sing- ing "O Canada." Place of next meeting will be at the homo of Mrs. Nell Ferguson, roll call to be ans- wered with a joke.

Conservative platform. "We are ap- pealing on our record, and I can assure you that there never has been such rigid economy coupled with efficiency as you have soon 1n tho last four years." (Laughter). The speaker then wont into tho Reciprocity Treaty of 1911, back again to cheaper school books, which called forth remarks from the audi- ence. He likened some of the western roads to “boulevards? and called the platform of thoeConscr- vative party "childish and foolish." The doctor was quite sarcastic when he referred to the cranberries and said it was as profitable as the growing flowers and vegetables. Ho ignored his own party platform of 1927 on that very subject. Start- ing again 1n Federal politics, the doctor was asked repeatedly to talk local politics. Crumbling about tho poor price he had received for a cow he had sold, some one remark- ed, “you should have sold it to Fal- conwood, you would have got a bet- ter price," to which the Doctor ro- plied they only have puro bred: down there. (Laughter). The doo- tor wearied the audience with Fed- eral politics but at last sat down.

MR, HUGH MORRISON

Mr. Hugh Morrison made o. very able speech and complimented tho ladies in being present, showing that they took an active interest in politics. ‘ He was amused to hear the fine speech of Dr. McNeil], it sound- ed more like a federal election ora- tion.

Answering some of Doctor Mc- Neill's statements, Ivfr. Morrison said, “Did you not receive mono money from the Bennett Govern- ment tbe first six month: they won in power than you ever received from any government?" (Thunder- ous applause). ~

He went on to say that Mr. Wright takes ‘exception. to being called insincere, “so I will change it and call It hypocrisy." (Applause). He had never heard a political plat- form publlshed as a. R. O. P. before, that term was usually applied to a cow which is for sale, R. O. P., a. ro- cord of performance. (Laughter).
