Islander Re-elected A As Leader

DR. HARRY C. HODGSON RE- ELECTED PRESIDENT AT GREAT CONVENTION IN BRANDON: OUTLOOK VERY FAVORABLE.

Many friends both in Charlotte-

town and Summerside will be in-

terested to learn that Dr. Harry C.

Hodgson, son of the late B. F. Hodg-

son, of Charlottetown has been re-

elected Presldent of the Conserva-

tive Association of Manitoba,

The Winnipeg Free Press of June

25th carries a good portrait of Dr.

Hodgson, along with a‘ lengthy re-

port of the big convention at Bran- don. The Free Press said:

More than 1,200 delegates and vis- itors to the Conservative convention at Brandon on Wednesday went back to their homes at night ap- parentiy fully satisfied that at the next appeal to the people their ban- ner will be carried to victory. Old- timers, who for years have been at- tending conventions, say it was the - largest and most enthusiastic in the > history of the party.

Col F. G. Taylor, Provincial lead- er, was given a regular ovation when , he appeared on the platform at the aftemcon session, the cheering last- ing for two or three minutes. Warm tribute was also paid to Mrs. Taylor the crowd all getting to their feet, and clapping vigorously as she went to the platform on the invitation of Dr. H. C. Hodgson, Provincial Pres- ident.

Election of ofllcers resulted in Dr. H. C. Hodgson being unanimously re-elected as president. ‘

On the platform with Dr. Hcdgson were all the Conservative members of the local legislature, W. J. Tup- per, K.C., L. J. Gauthier, Montreal; Travers, Sweatman, K.C.; J. Hame- hn; Errick Willis, M.P.; Mrs. Young President of the Women's Club of Brandon; Mrs. J. L.- McLenashan; Dr. Waugh, of Norfolk; Col. F. G. Taylor and Mrs. Taylor-Summer- side Journal.

Continued from paged

Provincial Government had had at its disposal. To that amount was added an increase in revenue aver- aging over $300,000 a. year.

The member from Charlottetown (Dr. McMillan) showed from the Public records that the present Government had, at most, done no more work in the line of concrete bridges, pipes and steel bridges- and in some cases considerably less —-than the Stewart Government did on a revenue of $300.00 e. year less than this Government enjoyed.

Kate's Progress

I do not think there will be found one honest masonable elector in this Province who will not feel that had the Stewa t. Government contin- ued in power, with the increased revenue they had seemed from Ot- tawa and the increase which has been accumulating’ in the receipts from gasoline and motor vehicles, that they would have done very much more for the Province, with that increase of revenue than this Government has done without in- creasing the debt to the same ex- tent.

As I said before, the accounting has not been satisfactory to myself, at least. I do not know that as a member of the Opposition I should help them out in making the ac- counting, vbut I could show where some of the money has gone. Wc have heard about the machinery that was purchased when this Gov- ernment came into power—$90,000 worth of machinery purchased over the telephone; and in looking through the Public Accounts since that time I find that this expendit- ure for road machines has increas- ed to $180,000. In connection with that matter it naturally occurred to me to look up the bill for tele- phones in that Department, and I find under this item the charge of $6,070. There are other expendit- ures in that Department, running along in the same way, salaries and expenditure for cars, etc., that I need not read out; but that is where some of the money went.

I wish to be fnir enough to state here that this Government has im- proved some of the side roads. There is no question about that, but they have not attended to all these. They had the money and they could do it. Why should they not? 1t was necessary to be done. The Stewart Government also improved some and when it went out of office, left this government with sufficient rev- enue and with much less perman- ent road work' to do.

BROKEN Pnomrsns

Irrelevant matters have been brought up in this debate, and the discussion has extended over a wide area. Members on the other side have taken every opportunity to run away from provincial matters. not- withstanding the fact that this Govemment is now preparing to go to the-Deflliler-and that in doing so it must defend its record. I have here the platform on which this Government was elected. There are three main pledges; three promises that had a. great deal to do with electing this Government. I think it will be admitted by all classes that the Stewart Government gave a splendid administration of public affairs. They were economical, and they carried out their promises.

‘They secured an additional grant

from Ottawa, which they had pro- mised to press for when they came in. However, there was one mat- ter that came up at the end of their period and we know what happened The Liberals always claim that they are the friends of temperance, the party which first gave us Prohibi- tion in this Province; and we admit that they passed a so-called Prohi- bition law in connection with the sale, of liquor, but we also know

difficulty in going into most of thc hotels and drug-stores in the Pro-- vince, and getting what liquor you wanted. Occasional fines were charged against the proprietors of some of these places, but there was no such thing as Prohibition. A change took place in the Govern- ment in 101i. War brokc_ out in

i014 and about that time the Con- servative party placed n. Prohibition Act on the statutes, placed the op- eration of the Act in the hands 6f a Commission, and we know that during the term of that first Prohi- bition’ Commission we had the nearest approach to absolute Pro- hibition that this Province has ever seen. We come to the Bell Govern- ment's time. and we know what happened then. Liquor exporters es- tablished themselves in the Pro- vince. The bootleggers commenced to organize their business and get more or less out of hand. The Stew- art Government followed the Bell administration. The control of the Act was in the hands of a Com- mission made up of men whose character could not be attacked. Those men administered the act as carefully and thoroughly as possible. They looked after the revenues ac- cruing from the operation of the Act carefully, and they turned those revenues into the treasury of the Province. At the same time we know that smuggling and bootleg- ging was going on. that violations of the Act were taking place, and we had the example of.all the other Provinces in this Dominion, at that time. except Nova Scotia, having changed to Government Con- trol. It was considered that per- hiips the enforcement of the pro- hibitory laws were becoming more difficult because enough of the peo- ple were getting restless under the restrictions of the Act to make it advisable to attempt something else, and the Stewart Government came out in their platform with a Gov- ernment Control measure. They did so because they believed at the time that they were doing something. which was going to improve condi- Lions; they were doing something that had been done in all the other Provinces of Canada. They staked their campaign on that platform; they stood behind it themselves. Now contrast that with the attitude of the other party. You have heard of the meetings in Summcrside, of the letters that were sent out. you have seen how the leader of thc Liberal party was wavering—see- sawing-from one side to the other, calculating which policy would have the most political effect; and finally they adopted a Prohibition plank in their platform. It was upon that plank that they won the election.

' RECORD OF FAILURE

We have heard in this Lcgislat nre, from the lips of Premier Saun- ders himself, how they failed in carrying out their preelection pro- mises with regard to Prohibition. We know that the two gentlemen from the Temperance Alliance who assisted them very largely in their campaign have since condemned this Government, because of thc non-fulfillment of their pledges; and we know, from the lips of the Premier that they found conditions getting worse instead of better. So they have not succeeded in carry- ing out what they promised the people in this matter.

So far as Prohibition and Gov- ernment Control is concerned. it has already been stated that this matter 1s a dead issue, that the people have voted on it. I am only speaking thus to show that this Government has failed to imple- the very first plank in their elec- tion platform.

Another assurance given ‘by this Government in its election plat- form was that if returned to power they would exert thei utmost en- deavors to press our aims for ln- creased subsldy. We have heard a lot on this matter, and I do not wish to go into any extended dis- cusslon of it, but we know that thc Liberals take great pride in thc fact that it. was the MacKenzie King Government that gave us the‘

KRISPIES

Liberal Governments in power in these Provinces at the time. and the question of Maritime rights had been discussed for some time prev- ious. Mr. King came down here; he apparently oid not know anything about the matter; he asked the question: “What are Maritime rights?" He had his answer in the elections that followed, and which resulted in the practical defeat of the King Government. The effect of the change in the Maritimes caused the appointment of the Dun- can Commission. Now our friends across the House accused the Con- servative members of opposing the appointment of the Duncan Com- mission. The Conservatives dld op- pow it; they opposed it on the ground that the appointment of the Duncan Commission was not at all necessary, that it would only delay the settlement of a matter that should have been dealt with by the Government itself; promptly, and we know that since that time the Government has dealt with very much larger claims in connection with the rights of the Western Pro- vinces.

DUNCAN REPORT UNIMPLE- MENTED

The three Conservative leaders of the Maritime Provinces joined in pressing our claims; the Duncan Commission was appointed and this Province secured an interim sub- sidy grant of $125,000. That Com- mission was appointed by the King Government in 1926; the Stewart Goverment went out of office in this Province in 1927, and the Saun- ders Government came in. This is 1931, and the recommendations of the Duncan Commission have not all been carried out even yet. We know that. the Liberal Government in this Province has not succeeded in getting any further increase in our revenue during the time their friends were in power at Ottawa, six years after the Duncan Commission was appointed; but that in the meantime the Western Provinces were able to come in and to secure their additional grants.

Conseratlve Government. If this local Government during the time their friends were in power at Ot- tawa were unable to present claims to their party friends sufficient to secure one dollar of additional sub- sidy, what claim have they to press upon the present Government that would have more weight now than when their own friends were in power? They failed to wry out this plank in their platform when they had the opportunity. It is now time to turn them out and have this important matter taken in

that up till 1012 there was very little interim subsidy increase of $125,000 hand by one who has pressed this which we now enjoy. You will re- matter successfully before and will member the history of that, and do so again.

The department was passed over by Iib- eral speakers, and federal politics was introduced to take the Place of their own poor showing.

So far as education goo-z from the main discussion in this House by members of the Government you would think that our schools and colleges were closed or forgot- ten; No improvement brought about by the government has been shown in this department.

There is another item, under the heading of Legislative grants; and we find a. vast increase here. In 1926, legislative grants were 516.000. At the present time they were $30,- 000. They have practically doubled, but this can scarcely be said to be an improvement. It is much easier, when you are dealing with the pub- llc moneys, to hand it out than to nay "No."

So far as the Department of Pub- lic Works is concerned, what shall we say? Someone wrote that "large streams from little fountains flow, great oaks from little acors grow"; and when we sow this Department start with a fountain-head of ex- penditure of $90,000 for road rm!- chinery, we are not surprised to find that_at the end of the term this had
