It was tragic to lose our but types of men in the war, he said, but it was all the more necessary for those at home to do their duty, and see that there will not be a repetition of the condi- tions which prevailed after the last war. It is unfortunate, Mr. Prowse said. that the Sheriff was sick on election day, The Sheriff was in charge of elections in 1935 and there was no objection. That was the red letter dav when no Con- servatives were elected. Iri 1939 only five Conservatives obtained seats. Mr. MacKenzie: "Four. You leg- islated one fellow out, you remem- ber.” (Laughter) Mr. Prowse: “Now we have ten. I hope we can work together and do u. good enough job.” He expressed regret that one of the election booths was not open- ed on time. "it should have been opened," he said, "but if xiii the voters got in to vote I don't think there was anything dined politic- ally. But it was n in take." The Sheriff, he said, had work- cd through three elections, “and there was no complaint when we were trimmed." Noting that there was only one lawyer on the Liberal side of the House as against four in the Oppo- sition, Mr. Prowso said they had had to take the "good lawyers’ from the Liberal party to fill va- cant jtldgeships, "Before next ses- sion I might be shelved too, and there will be another chance for the Conservatives to get in." he d. Regarding returning officers. he said the Government intended to get as many as possible who had worked in i999. but no doubt there were some new men who did not know their duties as well as they should. “But I don't think that would b; any more favorable to one candidate than the other." The Infirmary Vote "With regard to Dr. Yeo and the Infirmary." he said, "the first load that. left the Infirmary were with a Conservative driver, and natur- ally our men must have been anx- ious, for they telephoned Dr. Yeo to see if they couldn't get any cars. And there were some mem- bers of the Infinnary whn were workin for the Conservatives in the pofiing booths too. I am in- formed by Dr. Yeo that he never even entered the Infirmary. He drove some poor people to vote, and if they voted Liberal why shouldn't they? Who supplied that place out there but the Liberal party? But there was nothing to show that they voted Liberal as far as I know. "I went around the booths and I never found anything out of the way. This lust election was con- ducted just as well and better than the other elections I ran. But. be- cause I won I am being criticised by the leader of the Opposition. l think I should be congratulated on overcoming a deficit of 923 and getting a. surplus of 257.“ Mr Prowse read a letter appear- ing in The Guardian from Dr. Murchison, superintendent of Fal- conwood ‘ l, which he said cleared up any criticism in connec- tion with that institution. The letter was inserted voluntarily so far as he was aware. Mr. Prowse said he thought he ha: 510W covered all the points re e . Dr. MacMilien: "You have been requested by the Premier to ex- plain theso conditions. Will you explain why neither the Sheriff nor the Deput Sheriff was in his oflica..9n_elec on day? That is one question. Do you deny the truth of the accusation I made against Dr You?" Mr. Prowse: "Yes sir. I do." ' Dr. MacMiiian: "I can prove it." Mr. Prowse: "I have the word of Dr, Yeo that he never was in the The following questions have been placed on the Order Paper in the Provincial Legislature: Mr. Daniel F.
