Premier Macdcneld has now handed to‘ the Canadian Press in Halifax the following statement: "On my return home last night I saw for the first time a brief re- port of a speech which I delivered at Arnprior on Sept. 27, from which the inference might be drawn that I had said Mr. Stevens was unfit to be Prime Minister oi the country because he had enlist- ed the support of souls clergyman and Sunday School teachers. Such an inference is not correct. “I was discussing at Arnprior the character of the appeals made by Mr. Stevens and Mr. Aberhart, and the argument I endeavored to make W115i (l) Mr. Stevens is now ad- vocating measures which through- out most of his public life of 24 years he has opposed.

(4) Because oi his inconsistency and ihc misleading character of his ap- rlcnl. Mr. Stevens is not. fit. to be Prime Minister. . "Certainly I did not suggest that ministers or clergymen or Sunday School teachers have no right to be interested in politics.
