p _ One of the greatest Conservative demonstrations in the iisfory of local politics in Summersidc was the magnifi- "rcnt meeting held in the agricultural hall last night where he seats in the spacious auditorium were filled and many standing long before the meeting commenced. In the gath- iflflg there was an exceptionally large percentage of ladies. The tremendous attendance was in direct contrast to

the small Liberal gathering held in the same hall last ‘week, showing in no uncertain terms that the feeling of the voters of Summer-side is in favor of Messrs. Leonard ‘M. McNeill and Mayor Lidstone, the Conservative ‘can-

didates.

Both Mr. Lidstone and Mr. McNeil] were tendered a

great ovation as was also Dr. W. J. P. MacMillan, Char- lottetown. ’

Volee: ‘What changed your mind?"

In defending the purchase of the new machinery Mr. Stewart said ‘it was now possible to dig deeper and brill! up the moist subsoil.

The old Ross road he said was 111 "111-1- One 800d natured gentle- man had been permitting the traf- fic to lice his field and o. bridge he had constructed for the purpose, But you should see that road now. It was fixed up in very short time, in July.

Voice: "Have you any control over the liquor?"

Further heckling followed.

Father Herrell, (silencing the hfick-Itr-sl: "The man who would interrupt another when speaking is unmannerly.” '

After a few minutes Mr. Stewart continued. The roads like the Mac- Intyre Highway are a much bet- ter investment than the gravel roads of Nova. Scotla.

A stony silence was pregervgd l; Mr. Stewart laboured to m] 1n time. “Look at the Legislation pm- ed by the Government." he said. "An adopted child and a- widow

ed the change of attitude of m. Sinclair about having the Govern- ments in line- They had the gov- ernments in line for the Inter-Pro- vincial Conference of 1927, yet the; did not get a cent additional sub- sidy. When J. D. Stewart obtained $125,000 increase, one Liberal mem- ber said it was easy to get it, ever. Joe O'Brien could have done so Mr. Macliensie said Mr. 0’Bricl should have that gentleman's seat as he has been sitting in it durini 10"" Years and hasn't increased tlsv subsidy yet.

The extravagance of the Govern- merit was further exampled in thi Way the Teacher's commission was handled. Mr. Gyms Macmillan was brought down from Ottawa, and this was a good chance to introduce him to the Island people. The in. troduction cost the people about $3.000. It could have been bandied better by Dr. Macmillan and noii have cost the taxpayers a cent over the $400 sessional indemnity.

Mr. MacKenzle reviewed the pro- hlbmmi question. Ticket of Leave Act and Finance.

"The Stewart platform as pm- Bnted to you by Mr. WIgmm-e will b9 fully implemented, and further- mfle. We will not some before you next Election without a platform." (Loud applause.)

MR. SINCLAIR/S B-EHASH

Hon. Peter Sinclair brought noth- ing new into the discussion, and had to be told several times by the electors to stick to local politics.

lViR- SINCLAIR: "Did I under- stand you to say, Mr. MacKenzii. that you would out out the $6,000 pauper money.

MR. MacKENZIE: "We will looi into it. I am glad you know we are some to be the Government." (Loud applause.)

ME. SINCLAIR: “We are wid- ening the roads to about thirty oi thirty iive feet."

VOICE: “What about the Mac- Intyre highway, what did it cost?’

MR. SINCLAIR: "It cost between $26,000 and $210000 for eight tenths ofamileltisbetter than a gravel road which costs from $800 to $1000 per mile plus upkeep.

Promised Enforcement

Of Prohibition Act

A Shameful Betrayal

The outstanding issue in the last election campaign was the assurance of the Liberal candidates that they would enforce the Prohibition law in such a manner as to give the Province ‘Tl-IE GREAT BOON 0F A BAN- ISHED LIQUOR TRAFFIC.” This appeal was made by the Patriot newspaper to “the clergymen, the Church work- ers, the mothers of children, the men and women whosl homes have been desolated by the liquor traffic, the up holders of goodness, sobriety and truth, the Church-going people, those who feel that they are their_brothers’ keep- ers, the men and women who place principle and Chris» tlanlty before party, and workers against what has proved to be tlie greatest evil in the world-the curse of liquol drinking." ,

People of all creeds and of-both parties were urged to forget every other issue and put their shoulders to the wheel TO INSURE THIS RESULT BY ELECTING THE SAUNDERS-LEA-MCINTYRE AGGREGATION T0 POW-

R.

As evidence of the effectiveness of the Prohibition Law, the Liberal organ showed that there liad been a steady decrease in convictions for drunkenness up to the time of the 1927 election campaign, and assured the peo- ple tliat WITH STRICT AND HONEST ENFORCEMENT
