A report is being industriously spread in h_is district

by interested parties that the Premier is in failing health and has thrown up the fight. Of course, the report is a fake and ridiculous. The Premier never was in better health, and the people of the' province know that the Premier is not made up of the stuff that gives up a good fight, The facts are that from the nature of the position he occupies, the Premier is obliged to address meetings in different parts of the province, and for that purpose is compelled to sacrifice his personal interest to fulfil his obligations to the other candidates. Owing to such en- gagements the Premier had to absent himself from the Lot 16 meeting as well as those at Spring Valley and Hamilton, Lot 18, but was present at the Malpeque meet- ing on Wednesday night, the 16th instant.

Instead of running away from the fight the Premier

went into the enemy`s territory and faced Mr. John ll. Bell at Tryon and Kinkora, and also attended large meet- ings at Hope_River and Corran Ban in Queen’s County. Mr. Bell, however, does not think it safe to leave his own constituency where he has all that he can handle, and is up against the fight of his life. 'I`he Premier has met \vith a most enthusiastic reception in every place where he has spoken, and even strong Liberals have admitted that his presentation of the provincial situation ‘~~':is strong, concise and logical and couched in moderate language free from invective or abuse.

The following item is clipped from the Island I<`ari.i-

er of the 16th inst.: .M

“Since this county has been ruled by Order in Coun-

cil there has been so much tinkering with the voters’ list and who may and who may not vote, and, if' so, how many times they may..or may not, that many are befogged. Among them are the returned soldiers, many of whom don’t know where they are in this regard. As near as we can make out by an amendment to the Election. Act they are given wide votiiig po\\'ei-s, so that any iiiaii. o\'- vii if lic is iiiiilci' fivviity-oiiv (any froiii one year olil iip) and ii~'ii’l \\'oi‘lli a i-viit (ilovs. not o\\'ii a ct-iit's \\'oi-fli of' lH'0l"‘l'1.\') who has served overseas in any of the various branches, and has been honorably discharged, or re- mains on such service, may vote for both asseniblyman and councillor at the coming provincial election, If :.1 soldier has only served in Canada he can only vote for assemblymaii, _unless he owns $325 worth of real estate.”

This correctly reflects the attitude of the Opposition

in the House last spring on the question of' giving the re- turned soldiers the franchise. The only man on the Op- position side who spoke on the question was Mr. J. J. Johnston. He deprecated the principle adopted by the Government in giving the soldiers who had served over- seas and who owned no property, two votes. He said it was a, new departure and a dangerous precedent. He felt, however, that he was on dangerous ground and he and the Opposition allowed the measure to go through without voting against it. Asno member of the Op'-' position repudiated Mr. Johnston’s attitude it must be concluded that he reflected their opinionand this is new confirmed by the above item apearing in Mr. Bell’s owr. organ, The Farmer. The black type above is ours. We leave the returned men to make their own conclusions.

Sir Robert Borden is coming to the province to wel-

come the Prince of Wales on August 18, three weeks af- ter_ our general election. The best way to welcome the Prime Minister who has done so much for Canada and es- pecially for P. E. Island, will be to return by an over- whelming majority the Government, which is in sympa- thy with him.

6 ` " 'l‘llll{l) KINGS.

_ In the Third District of Kings, where the Opposi- tion situation ngight be described in golf language as "mixed doublesg” the two Conservative candidates, Messrs, A. McDonald and James, Duncan, are finding the political highway much more favorable than when it looked only lik fa three-cornered iight, and Mr. J. A. Dewar in the m§idle with the probability of drawing sup-

port from bothilides. Now it apears, with the line-up of

Government arid Opposition candidates that the Con- servatives will‘*to a very large extent rally to the sup- port of Messrs. McDonald and Duncan, the official Con- servative candidates, whileit is not so certain that Mr. Dewar will receive all the support of the Liberals. Some straight Liberals are not satisfied with Mr. Dewar claiming to be ‘Sn Independent Conservative. The pros- pects of the Government candidates are now much bet- ter than they were at the beginning 'of the campaign, the meeting at Cardigan the other night giving Mr. McDon- alld and Mr. Diqican a great ovation. .

< Sir,-At the last session of the Legislature the fol- lowing resolution was moved by Mr. .McMillan and sec- onded by Mr( McLean as the resolution was in line with the attitude of the Government in-the matter I announc- ed that it would be allowed to go through unanimously. The resolution reads as follows:

“Thatwhereas the Fed_eral_-_,Government is offering

_ to the returned soldiers who have seen service overseas by giving 'them free grants of land in Western Canada.

And whereas, only a very limited number of our rc-

turned men are in a position to take advantage of the land in Western Canada. '-

“Therefore resolved that representation be made by

this Government to the Federal Government to taki- into their immediate consideration the necessity of giving such assistance to the returned who are not in a position to take up land so that thereby all .men who have sceri service overseas may be placed in a'positioii of equality "

In the ordinary course the resolution should have

'been forwarded by the Speakei' of the House tothe Lieutenant Governor for transmission to the Secre‘.'ary of State. On its being brought to my attention, that thi. had not been, I immediately gave orders that this resol -

Let me add this to the above statement: At the

joint conf'erence of the province with the Dominion Gov- ernment held at Ottawain February last, this very mat- ter, only on a larger scale, was brought up by the Premi- ers and fully discussed. '

Hon. Mr. McKinnon andmyself, representing this

province, took the attitude that the same measure oi' as- sistance should be extended to all returned soldiers as was being given to men taking up lands. This subject was fully discussed for several hours, but the Dominion Government did not 'at the time see their way clear to take any action. It was intimated that further confer- ences would beheld at a later date, when the process of demobilization had been gone through at which this and many other matters affecting the returned men would be further considered. The attitude of the Provincial Gov- ernment as far as assistance to returned men is concern- ed can be judged by past action. The following are some of the matters accomplished through the efforts of the Provincial Government:

1. The Government was instrumental in having

subscribed and sent overseas 1,000,000 bushels of oats for England and her Allies. 1

2. The Govei‘nnient gave a grant to each man or

unit that left the province for overseas, ‘ . The Government made grants to the Patriotic, Red Cross and other war funds. - ‘ -I

4. The Government subscribed for $100,000 of

Victory Bonds in order to help win the war. 1 5. The Government succeeded in having a` Con- valescent Hoine (The Rena McLean Hospital) establish- ed at Cliai'lottetown, and a Sanatoriuin at North Wilt- shire, (The'Charles Dalton Sanatorium.) . H 6. T-he Government assisted by grants to patriotic associations, in reci.-uitiiig for men to help the boys over- seas.

7. The Government pressed for and succeeded in,

having established in this province (a) Pension Office; (b) a Branch of the Soldiers’ Civil Re-establishments; (c) a Vocational Training Office; (d) a Land Settlement Oliice; (e) a Labor Bureau; (f) Returned Soldiers Aid Commission. .i it

8. During the war a great portion of the Preniier’s

time was engaged in interviewing parents and relatives of boys overseas and in corresponding relative to their wants and in matters pertaining to the war and thus suc- ceeded in having numberless grievances adjusted and rectified. '

9. The Premier, representing the Government, has

co-operated with the Ladies’ Auxiliary of the G. W. V. A. iii receiving the boys on their arrival from overseas, and has put them up at hotels during their stay in town, instead of allowing them to be sent to barracks as was done in all other piovinces. .

10. The Government is in sympathy with the' re-

turned men and has givenlfinancial assistance to soldiers` associations, and will continue to co-operate with them in any matters pertaining to their advancement. _

~ 11. The Government gave the return‘ed~soldiers

the full franchise, the only representative in the House who opposed /this was a member of the Liberal Opposi- tion who was evidently speaking the mind of the Opposi- tion.

As to anything further to be done let me say this:

Soldiers’ organizations are bein perf'ect,ed_in the pro - vince and these'branches of the W. V. A. will then ap-
