Hon. Dr. MacMillan, who is no stranger to the people of Grand River, expresud much pleasure at the hearty reception given to him. In an eloquent but forceful ad- dress he condemned the unfair criticism that had been launched at his Government and was wann- ly applauded duning his review of what his Government had accom- plished in spite of adverse condi- tlcns.

It-was a. matter of sin items ordinarily charged to ordinary account on capital account. Charging items thus was justifiable only if the works in respect of which the bonds were issued authorized the bonds. Gravel and road machinery had been obliged to capital sc- count. w. Lea. had said "on ordinary account" regarding the balancing of the bucket. “What good is it," inquired m. MwPhee to balance the budiot, yet increase the debt. What the pwnle are interested in is the actual financial condition of province. We are in a position to show you that during our four years om- position showed a defin- itc improvement.”

Financial Records

"In four years we increased the debt $930,000. That is what we did to the detriment of this province. What is the position on the other aide. As a result of successfully Dressing our subsidy claims we have established a credit at Ott- awa cf three million dollars, from Whichwe receive $150,000 esch year." (Applause). .

“On one side we went into debt $800,000, on the other hand we gained three millions, from. which we are receiving for all time $150,- 000 a year. You wish w know at the end of year year whether you are better or worse off. We are able to come before you and say that the financial position was bettered to the extent of .more than two million dollars.

During good years they changed the financial situation to the de- triment of the province by more than a million dollars. During times of extraordinary difficulty we improved the position by more than two million dollars.

Gasoline Tax

Taking up IMr. hfustiuois criti- cism regarding the gasoline tax, Mr. MacPlsee said: "It would be pardonable in another. but not in Mr. mislead who himself operates a car.

The increase in gasoline tax coin-clded with a reduction in motor vehicle registration fees. Thus it was intended to ‘ ,. the burden where it should prop- erly be-on the man who uses the highways most. If he drives his car little, he pays less through the gasoline tax than under the old tax. If he drives much he pays more.

The fishermen have been re- bated six out of eight cents. The two cents a gallon has been re- tained tc cover the cost of admin- istration. As agaimt that we have succeeded in obtaining a reduction of 1 1-2 cents in the price of gas. The only possible increase then is that of l-Z cent per gallon."

Public Health

m. Mustard had proposed mak- ing reduction in expenditures in the Department of Public Health, Mr. MacPhee said. "Does my friend know that the whole set-up was made by his govermnentr-the numiber of of- ficials, the salaries, and the in- creases? These were all fixed be- fore we came into power. These cannot be changed because we have received large amounts of money from certain sources-sill,- 000 from insurance companies, and there is an agreement binding on us.

The total debt increase could be explained by the extraordinary sit-

Voiced Crltichn

Mr. John Mustard contrasted the attlt of his opponents with their attitude of four years ago. He re- ferredtbthcreliefworkdoneon the McIntyre Highway. and com- mended the roadway. The national highway was also discussed by the speaker. The idea of the national highway had dwindled. he stated.

There were nogreater problems facing the government than those’ facing an individual. He referred to the large overdraft in the bank left by the yy but criticised the method in. which the Conser- vatives had dealt with this over- draft. As regards the Liberal plank of a balanced budgfl. Mr. Mustard insisted that the Liberals were in earnest.

Mr. Mustard criticised the Con- servative platform. He referred to the increases which the government had made in expenditures in vari- ous departments, pointing out that there were no increases in the De- partment of Agriculture. Additional expenditure in the department, he said, were as necessary as in Pub- llc Health. education, or public work. Mr. Mustard then reviewed the Liberal platform. The Depart- ment of Health and of Education were important, but it was not the right time to increase officials he said. The Liberals would discharge officials.

Stirred By Emotion

Mk. S. S. Hessian was inexpens- ive mood, but at times he appeared so stirred by emotion that he seemed on the point of breaking down. With superb indifference to fact he confided to the audience that Mr. MacPheeb speech con- tained nothing, but he did not en- deavour fo prove his statement.

Throughout his speech the aud- ience tittered at his flamboyant phrases and grandiloquent utter- ances, but of this the speaker semed blissfully unaware.

He spoke of the Liberal plat- form of economy. No statement had previously been made as to the placing of money to the credit of the Island at Ottawa. he said.

The Chief Justice had claimed that the Island had not received its just dues from Ottawa. Why had not Mr. MacPhee in his sweet terms said that the door had been left open to _get further assistance, he asked. p

Mr. Hessian bragged that he had no small part in forming “our little platform."

The balanced budget meant that capital account would be balanced against capital expenditures, he said. There was nobody in Canada or elsewhere who would My $4.- 000.000 for Prince Edward Island.

Mr. MacPhee: "You don't think much of your Province. Is that the extent of your patriotism?"

ivn». Hessian spoke boastfuliy of his patriotism, and asked Mr. MacPhee if he could say, as the speaker could say, that he had lived here all his life.

"Perhaps I was too patriotic. I was away from here‘ for three years," stated Mr. MacPhee, re- ferring to his overseas service.

Mr. Hessian: "I did not inter- rupt you."

Mr. MacPhee: "I was answering your question."

Mr. Hessian proceeded to criti- cise the building of Falconwood and Prince of Wales College at some length.

The Mathlescn Government re- ceived the subsidy through Mr. J. J. Hughes, M3‘. Hessian said. Therefore the Conservatives could not claim the 03,000,000 he argued, though the audience looked a little puzzled in en‘ uring to follow his reasoning.

The speaker criticised the ad- mirustration of relief. _"The relief money did not go to the poor people." he said.

Voices: “You are wrong."

Mr. Hessian abruptly changed the subject to Old Age Pensions.

Forgetting his declarations for economy, Mr. Hessian criticised the the government for not having spent more on the Department of Agriculture.

"rm- God's sake. why did thfiy

not borrow millions and spend it on the poor farmers?" he cried with fine emotion. He also criti- claed the Government's dealings with the Potato Growers Associ- ation. Mr. Hessian stated that expend iture in Mr. MacPheeb department had been increased. Mr. Lea had been told that the magistrates arid deputies had been paid by the Prohibition Colnnussicn. If the Liberals come into power there would be a thorough investigation of this matter. he Promised.

In closing Mr. Hessian said that all the speeches were rambling. He went overtime to discuss the Dun- can Report. The Conservatives had held that Parliament was the com- mission. and sc had voted against the appointment of the commis- sion. he said.

Dr. B. C. Keeping reporting for the Public Health committee stat- ed thatthe cases of diphtheria dun“! 011° past year were rcclured to seven. Thae cases occurred in two families which had not re- ceived the serum immunizing them against diphtheria. He also empha- sized the fact that this is the time of year in which infantile paralysis is most likely to occur. He pointed out that in order to be successful treatment must be instituted early before the onset of paralysis. He “lowly urged both physicians and ill-rents to look for early symptom of the disease and use the serum, which may be obtained from the Public Health Department.

Dr. Johnson on behalf of the local Association conzratuiated Dr. W. J. P. Macmillan on the recent honor LLD. conferred upon him by McGl1l University. The Society feels that this honor was richly de- served. It will be remembered that Dr. MacMillan received the Holmes Medal in graduating in medicine from McGlll University. The hon- or ccnfened 113011 him is a very fitting tribute to his work both in the field of medicine and in that of public service since graduation.

Dr. T. C. Routly. Secretary of the Canadian Medical Associatim gave a comprehensive report of the combined meeting o1 the Canadian and American Associations at At- lantic City in June last.

PREMIER RECEIVES OVATION

The Premier who had been speak- ing at Grand River, came in while Mr. Dennis, the Liberal candidate. was speaking and the speaker's voles was drowned in the storm of ap- plause which shook the building as the audience shouted their welcome,

The applause tendered Mr. Sharp and Mr. Rogers was adistinct tri- uouiph for the Conservative candid- a .

Mr. Austin A. Ramsay of Conway presided in a most impartial man- ner.

Mr. A. E. MacLean, MP, the pop- ular Liberal member for Prince County was also accorded a good re- ception when he came in toward the close cf the meeting.

Mr. Barbour, Liberal candidate, was the first speaker, but had noth- ing constructive to offer the audi- encg and took up his time 1n per- sonal attack on Mr. Sharp and crit- icizing hlm for spending so much money on bridges on the side roads and catering to people who lived in the back districts. His criticism was ill received by the audience.

MR. ROGERS i

The applause lasted some minutes when Mr. Rogers came forward to address the huge gathering. He thanked the audience for the recep- tion accorded him which was ample proof that they, in Iireetown, ap- preciated the tremendous task the Conservatives had undertiten when they took office in one of the worst slumps in the history of the world. They had provided work, obtained large grants from Ottawa to assist in providing work. He gave an able

review of the achievements of the present Government.

Mr. Rogers pledged himself to give wonk out on a fifty-fifty basis if elected and asked for the support of the electorate on July 23rd.

The feeling of the meeting at Freeland was demonstrated when Mr. Dennis elected for the Liberals five consecutive terms was not given much of a hearing as he talked about the shortcomings of the Con- servative party.

He went to some trouble to show that the Liberals were not respon- sible for disposing of the rights of the fishermen to the oyster areas. This Mr. Sharp flatly contradicted from the minutes of the Order-in- Ccuncll and the agreement signed by the Saunders Government and which Premier Stewart refused to sign.

HON. G. SHELTON SHARP

Mr. Sharp who was in splendid form, was received with deafening applause, and his vigorous speech denouncing the Liberal Government with the disastrous blow they had dealt the fishermen of this province when they signed away their rights and leased the oyster areas to priv- ate individuals was received with tremendo applause.

1n the agreement between the Saunders Government and the Fed- erai Government, there was a para- graph whlch alluded to encouraging the development of private oyster beds but not one word about the fishermen, only that, certain areas should be reserved for mussel mud. This was the conclusive evidence

duce express charges as that was controlled at Washington, but by presenting their case strong enough they have obtained some reductions on freight and intend to continue to do so.

They had reduced the costs at Prince of Wales College without lowering the standard of education. They had reduced the price cf lic- ensing of cars and many other ec- onomles.

Dr. MacMillan had nothing but the highest praise for the Women's Institutes of the Province, who had done so much for education and public health. It ill becomes any man to criticiu a. Government be- cause he is spending money to im- prove tho minds and health of the people of the Province. He spoke particularly of the tremendous amount of that the dental clinic and mental hygiene cam- paigns were doing for the people of the Province.

In his closing remarks the Prem-

and assured the electors that he in- tended to follow up this wonk in ac- cordance to their means.

He was determined to go after more subsidy so that they could con- tinue the program of public works and provide work for the young peo- ple of the Province. They were en- titled to the money from the Do- minion Government, and he was de- termined to go after more. His bril- liant speech was concluded midst M burst of applause.

Public Works Hon. Mr. Sharp pointed out that while the Mc- Intyre Highway cost $27,000 per mile this Government is building a similar road of a little better type for only $11,800 per mile. A1- so the average cost per yard for concrete bridges now is only one half what it was under the Liberal administration. The money spent for gravel by the Liberals went. with the exception of the small amount spent for distribution here, to the C. N. R. and the people of Nova Scotla. Now the gravel used is obtained locally and all the money spent for it is dis- tributed among the people of this Province.

Hon. Mr. Sharp also dealt with the Carnegie Library grant and the grant to Prince of Wales Col- lege and St. Dunstan! University obtained by the MacMillan admin- lstratlon.

At the conclusion of his able ad- dress he was enthusiastically ap- plsuded.

HON. MR. WOOD

Hon. M. W. Wood. who was the first speaker in -his address point- ed out that, while the claimed 017.000 surplus the last
