Subsidy. and also to give credit to Mr "Ned" McDonald. M.P. for Pictou. for tliscovering~ti1e means by which the representation of the province was maintained at four. Having proved to- his own satisfaction that these two opponents of the Borden Government were thc benefactors of the province, Mr Duffy proceeded to discuss the programme' of public works carried _illmllgh by the Mathieson Government and said it was not to the Mathicson G0V0l`I1mBl1t_but to the people of the Island that credit was due for the magnificent conditions in which the roads were_at the pr_qsent"_time`. Mr Duffl' thffli llroceeded 'to giv_c an account of the poiiticalhistory of the province as represented by the doings in, the House of Commons at Ottawa and concluded on `the same note on which hc had beluui tllat lf he and Ml' HiBSS_‘W€i‘__e_ returned _to the legis-

lature~tl19y would dot; return- four years hence and .offers miiar apologies to' those of Dr Jenkins for fa.lling'te attend to the interests cf their con- stituents.

The next speaker was Mr. James

PRIOR. who gave a` brief but weighty address in which he demonstrated wnvinvinsly the ietnl. incapacity of the Opposition candidates and the futility of their efforts ot secure elec- tion. He thanked the electors, in the first place, for all the 'honors they had conferred on him in the past in elect- ing him to the City Colmcil, and es- sured them that should they similarly honour him in the present election he would strive to `merit. as much as he did then, the confidence of the com- mllnli-Y. He de_alt‘in a few remarks. which spoke volumes, with the speech of Mr. Duffy, pointing out that while that gentlemen had spent all his time in fatuous fault-finding, he never sug- gested what the Liberal party pro- ,posed to do should it be returned to power. He asked the question, did they want.a.progressive`or an unpro- gressive Government? lu regard to the subsidy question he quoted from the "Patriot" to show conclusively and without the slightest doubt, that the previous Government had failed to secure anything because of incap- able representation of the Island’s claim. Mr. Paton reviewed briefly ` the excellent' record of the Govern- ment during the past 3% -years and answered effectually such trifling cri-- tlcisms as Mr. Duffy had made. He ,bespoke for himself and his colleague' the support of tho electors on the 16th. - '

Mr Higgs on -rising was rcceivcii

with generous applause. Hc thanked the citizens for thc courteous manner

with the criticisms, such as they' were,

ing how falacious their ,contentions

' were: `He said: ‘

.I realize' by the closing remarks of

the lasuspeaker that it must-:be get- ting very late for he is already dream- ing dreams; 'Hehas seen visions of a scale suspended in the air, with the Goveri'iment.in_one pan- being kicked up, and in the '-other pan, I suppose, 'himself 'and his colleaguep-going down, down! tLaushtcr).. ,I.. was wondering whether this was Ottawa 'or Charlottetown, as most of the time, it seemed to me, his eye was turned 'te -Ottawa.--.--He- was --dealing--with things that cmanate, from that-capital and not from Charlottetown; and I believe he has as much chance on the 16th of being elected for Charlotte- town as he has of beingelectcd for Ottawa. (Laughtexz) _ They may appreciate there the wonderful sights Mr. Higgs _sees in the sunrise, and I =know there is a market there for poe- try; but tonight we are more concern- ed with politics. Before I forget Mr. Duffy having spoken, because it.is some time ago, I am going to take up his first remark. He says that Dr. Jenkins was guilty of utter neglect of duty in failing to attend the Legisla- ture at the last session. That is not it good way for a young man to enter into the field of politics. Dr. Jenkins is a man who, in his private life and in his, public practice, has never been charged with neglect oi' duty. (Ap- plause.) I know he has devoted to the representation of this city all the time and energy that could be expect- ed from any man. (Cheers) It is true that last session he was not in his seat in the House, and if any of you ladies or gentlemen had gone into the House you would see his seat draped with the British flag and a sign showing that he was absent on his country’s service. He was perform- ing the hlghestduty that devolves up- on citizens of this country. He was serving his King and Country and doing his part in connection with the strengthening our armies, doing that part _without which our forces would succeedbut ill. (Cheers.) He was charged with the most important and honorable service, in re-organizing and re-arranging the military hospitals in the City of Halifax. _It was nn honor _to Prince Edward island that they should apply to the medical profession of this Province when they wanted a

_man for a scrvicc exceedingly diffi- cult, and should send to Charlotte-_

town and take him from us. (Ap- plause.) is thcre one so devoid '-oil 'that spirit of loyalty that he would suggest \vo should have held _him back? And yet hc is thc man. Mr. Duffy

in wllicii he was treated during this campaign. it stirred his heart to feel that hc had the respect of his fellow- citizens. He had been asked why hc had accepted nomination. I-ic looked upon it as a duty incumbent on every

country. Ile was seeking their suffrages on the 16th,- He had had many offers to lcavcihls island. Ou sovcral occasions hc hail been offered a much better position and better remuneration. Tile little island was dear to ills heart. Ho had tra- vellcrl through busy hives of industry. away beyond, into tho boundless prairie lands. through the sun-kissed miles of golden grain, up through thc \vhite-capped peaks of _, the Rocky Mountains. As he stood on that great Deak he cried aloud; 1"What -is' man- that thou art mindful of him?" _(Laughter, in 'which Mr-Higgs joined.) -i-le came before them, Mr Higgs con- -tiliued, dropping back to curlll again. to have nn opportunity of soliciting thc l support of cvcry votcr prcscnt oil thc 16th. _Mriiiggs then gave a history of'thc Govériinlont of thc province sin - . _the time-_of Confederation, for,

al dience. - In 1891, when the Conserva- l i e Government was turned out of p er. they left a'dc`b't"ol"$l71,000,i an this. wlth_'the capitalised interest., the amount they- drew from Ottawa; and the wharves they sold, would in his opinion,lepresent about $1,072,000. or exactly the amount of the deficit _'the present Government-said they suc- ceeded to in,,,_l91l.~ This, Mr Higgs said. -meant that -,in spite of their limited revenue ,the .Liberals hnil cal"rl`ori__on_ the Government for 21 years without incurring-any debt to add, to the liabilities they succeeded to in 1891. Mr‘Hlggs‘proceeded to dis- cuss, the question of- surpluses and argued that the external auditors had not taken into consideration the assets left biz the 'Liberal Government when they prepared .their , statement ,qt .lia- biiitles. He gave if list of the public buildings, etc., provided under the Liberal regime, but neglected to men-

man to oifcr to serve his King audi

th . bcnofit of thc younger mcu oi’ the -

now wishes to ilnpugn, simply because

'he was rendering the highest service

to his Country and his King.

Mr. Duffy says it is in the air that

,victory is about to pcrch upon them.

There orc n. great many things in the air, and a great many poisonous gas- ses that emanatc from the poisonous gas-bug in the Patriot oiilcc. and Mr. _Duffy and his colleagues will find oil tho 16th they will both bc ill thc air in tiint scale Mr. lliggs saw. (Lauglltcr and applause.) Mr. Duffy passes on and undertakes to toll you a nlimber of things. You know wo get $100,000 oi' increased subsidy at Ottawa. Mr. Duffy and illc Patriot school say Mr. 'Hughcs, of Souris, get that. (Laugh- tcr) We got the dcclinc of our re- presentation, which liad been going on continuously sincc tlonfericration, stopped. Ned l\icDollald, of Picton, did that,»he says. (lienewcd laughter.) Both these mon, strong and bittcr op- ponents of tho Borden Government, one ol' them the most persistent cncmy 'of the island outside of thc Province, -and -wo had to go to the enemies of the, Borden Government ami of this "rInvfnce, to,_gct fhosc boons.',Doesn't ‘it‘_show`_ how hard driven ,tliesc mcn are to find a place _before the public at all when they. seek toit-uke, away the credit properly duo this Govern- ment .for , the wonderful, things that hp.v_e come about during the Inst three and a half; years, and to attribute them to the enemlesof the ,Province?

zens cl' as an intelligent a city as Char- ilottetown must, when they como be- fore you, ,not only tell the truth so 'far as .they know, but they must not withhold ' any material facts that would' change their statements and make them false. The financial year `used to end, years gone by, on thc 31st 'day of December, and it was the pro- per and natural eliding of the year. But the Liberals at a certain time changed that day to the 30th Septem- ber, bccause it was an electioiryear and it would enable them to make a more favorable financial showing. But it made the year cud in thc vcry midst of- the business* transactions 'that 'were going on and you could not compare one year with another. \Ve changed it back to the proper time, so that the first financial period of the present Government consisted of 15 months, that is from 30th September, 1911, to 31st December, 1912. Of that fifteen months Mr. Palmer was Premier dur- , lug the two months and two days from the,30th ,September to the 2nd Decem- ber, 1911. Are we to be charged with the deficit he made during t-hose two months and two days? And yet that is what Mr. Duffy has done. A young man coming before you is either com- petent or not competent to represent you. Is he competent to represent you if he seeks to charge upon the Government that came in on the 2nd December, 1911, the deficit of $83,000 I made by Mr. Palmer? (Cheers) Mr. | Duffy is sitting -here and I have the , record to prove it, and he cannot deny it. That is $83,000 of n. deficit incur- red by Mr. H.James Palmer, which we had to take over. In the face of that what do you think of Mr. Dufi’y's lstatement? Oi course, the -Patriot has made it and has sent it broadcast through the country; but I met the editor of the Patriot at Vernon River the other night, and I don’t believe, 'as long as he lives, he will ever at- ' tempt to make that statement again- .nt least when I am on the platform. l (Laughter and loud applause.) But tbat'is not all. Although Mr. Palmer paid out in those two months and two ,days, after thelaccounts of the year ending 30th September, 1911, had ,closed-although he paid out '$83,000 more than he’ took in, he did not pay all the debts, and Mr. Duffy ought to | know it. (Laughter) How much were the liabilities besides? These auditors, the managers of the Bank of Nova Scotia and the Bank of Coni- merco, said that Mr. Palmer placed upon us thc further burden of $85,000 of unpaid liabilities. Why did Mr. . Duffy try- to conceal that from you? is it that hc did not know? li’ so, you |ilon't Want a representative like that. Or is it',,llc did know? _ And that

would bo lh'grEf6i,At°ill..-‘ Wo have hiid the statemé tztliwughout the Province that all the debt-ewingwhcn we came into power 'was $904,000. That is false to thc func of $168,000 ns shown by tho bankers’ audits. Wlliosc word would you take? That of. mc,n_1lkc tliesofwlio m'a.ko reckless’ sfafcliiciits which they ncvcr take thc trouble to verify .and-which they know to be false, or .the word-of competent ami experienced mon whose whole reputa- tion stands or fails according as they rcprcscnt- what is true or false? Mr. lhxffylhas saitl there is ilu credit given _for iisscts. Wbll, as it matter of fact there fs. Tliati s all the tllffc|'euce bc- twccn his statement and thc truth. When we came into power wc did pro- ciscly as we had promised to tio. We employed those men to find out exact- ly how tho Province stood financially. WB had been endeavoring, during all the years we were in opposition, to get a statement allowing not only what was paid out mid what was rcceivcii, but also what was unpaid; and we never could gct that statement; and we made up our minds, as soon as wo took over, wc would rcndcr an axzcouut of cvcry dollar owing at tho cull of each year; and we have carried thitt faithfully out every year. (Cheers) with- the result that in tllo three and a half years we were in power wc were able to reduce the liabilities of the Province by $89.000. No man that has any regard for truth or honesty or his own reputation can deiiy that every figure of that is- true. Wliut did our opponents do then, who are seeking now to have the treasury placed at their disposal again? In all their 20 years of power did they ever make one single surplus? Did they ever pay one dollar in reduction of deb_t'.' - No; not one. But every

- year they plunged the Provincc deeper and deeper into debt to.the tune of- an average of $45,000 a year. In thc three years nnd a half which have just passed tin'-,re has _been this change made, that the deiiicit of $45,000 a year has been stopped and in its place established a surplus of $30,000. (Ap- plausc.) While they would deny it when the books are not at hand, when they are brought face to face with the records they :have to sit silent

gud dumb. They dare not deny it.

o you not think it was worth while, for that one thing alone, to change the Government on the second day of Dec- lemlier, 1911? Wei had heemslitling

'down into the abyss, and not 3115 pro- ductive asset was to be foun to rc- present the increase of debt. Wo were pursuing the bankrupt’s course

and- we would meets* the end with the bank:-upt‘s fate. 'l would take us many years to recover the ground lost in those twenty years. If that were all, l think there is_ not one person, who wishes this Province well - who would not say it was a fortunate day when that change took place; and the men who desire novfto take the Government out of our hands and Riva 'it back to those who were carrying the
