A report is being industriously spread in h_is district
by interested parties that the Premier is in failing health
and has thrown up the fight. Of course, the report is a
fake and ridiculous. The Premier never was in better
health, and the people of the' province know that the
Premier is not made up of the stuff that gives up a good
fight, The facts are that from the nature of the position
he occupies, the Premier is obliged to address meetings
in different parts of the province, and for that purpose is
compelled to sacrifice his personal interest to fulfil his
obligations to the other candidates. Owing to such en-
gagements the Premier had to absent himself from the
Lot 16 meeting as well as those at Spring Valley and
Hamilton, Lot 18, but was present at the Malpeque meet-
ing on Wednesday night, the 16th instant.
Instead of running away from the fight the Premier
went into the enemy`s territory and faced Mr. John ll.
Bell at Tryon and Kinkora, and also attended large meet-
ings at Hope_River and Corran Ban in Queen’s County.
Mr. Bell, however, does not think it safe to leave his own
constituency where he has all that he can handle, and is
up against the fight of his life. 'I`he Premier has met
\vith a most enthusiastic reception in every place where
he has spoken, and even strong Liberals have admitted
that his presentation of the provincial situation ‘~~':is
strong, concise and logical and couched in moderate
language free from invective or abuse.

The following item is clipped from the Island I<`ari.i-
er of the 16th inst.: .M
“Since this county has been ruled by Order in Coun-
cil there has been so much tinkering with the voters’ list
and who may and who may not vote, and, if' so, how many
times they may..or may not, that many are befogged.
Among them are the returned soldiers, many of whom
don’t know where they are in this regard. As near as
we can make out by an amendment to the Election. Act
they are given wide votiiig po\\'ei-s, so that any iiiaii. o\'-
vii if lic is iiiiilci' fivviity-oiiv (any froiii one year olil iip)
and ii~'ii’l \\'oi‘lli a i-viit (ilovs. not o\\'ii a ct-iit's \\'oi-fli of'
lH'0l"‘l'1.\') who has served overseas in any of the various
branches, and has been honorably discharged, or re-
mains on such service, may vote for both asseniblyman
and councillor at the coming provincial election, If :.1
soldier has only served in Canada he can only vote for
assemblymaii, _unless he owns $325 worth of real estate.”
This correctly reflects the attitude of the Opposition
in the House last spring on the question of' giving the re-
turned soldiers the franchise. The only man on the Op-
position side who spoke on the question was Mr. J. J.
Johnston. He deprecated the principle adopted by the
Government in giving the soldiers who had served over-
seas and who owned no property, two votes. He said it
was a, new departure and a dangerous precedent. He
felt, however, that he was on dangerous ground and he
and the Opposition allowed the measure to go through
without voting against it. Asno member of the Op'-'
position repudiated Mr. Johnston’s attitude it must be
concluded that he reflected their opinionand this is new
confirmed by the above item apearing in Mr. Bell’s owr.
organ, The Farmer. The black type above is ours. We
leave the returned men to make their own conclusions.

Sir Robert Borden is coming to the province to wel-
come the Prince of Wales on August 18, three weeks af-
ter_ our general election. The best way to welcome the
Prime Minister who has done so much for Canada and es-
pecially for P. E. Island, will be to return by an over-
whelming majority the Government, which is in sympa-
thy with him.

6 ` " 'l‘llll{l) KINGS.
_ In the Third District of Kings, where the Opposi-
tion situation ngight be described in golf language as
"mixed doublesg” the two Conservative candidates,
Messrs,  A. McDonald and James, Duncan, are finding
the political highway much more favorable than when it
looked only lik fa three-cornered iight, and Mr. J. A.
Dewar in the m§idle with the probability of drawing sup-
port from bothilides. Now it apears, with the line-up of
Government arid Opposition candidates that the Con-
servatives will‘*to a very large extent rally to the sup-
port of Messrs. McDonald and Duncan, the official Con-
servative candidates, whileit is not so certain that Mr.
Dewar will receive all the support of the Liberals. Some
straight Liberals are not satisfied with Mr. Dewar
claiming to be ‘Sn Independent Conservative. The pros-
pects of the Government candidates are now much bet-
ter than they were at the beginning 'of the campaign, the
meeting at Cardigan the other night giving Mr. McDon-
alld and Mr. Diqican a great ovation. .

< Sir,-At the last session of the Legislature the fol-
lowing resolution was moved by Mr. .McMillan and sec-
onded by Mr( McLean as the resolution was in line with
the attitude of the Government in-the matter I announc-
ed that it would be allowed to go through unanimously.
The resolution reads as follows:
“Thatwhereas the Fed_eral_-_,Government is offering
_ to the returned soldiers who have seen service overseas
by giving 'them free grants of land in Western Canada.
And whereas, only a very limited number of our rc-
turned men are in a position to take advantage of the
land in Western Canada. '-
“Therefore resolved that representation be made by
this Government to the Federal Government to taki- into
their immediate consideration the necessity of giving
such assistance to the returned who are not in a position
to take up land so that thereby all .men who have sceri
service overseas may be placed in a'positioii of equality "
In the ordinary course the resolution should have
'been forwarded by the Speakei' of the House tothe
Lieutenant Governor for transmission to the Secre‘.'ary
of State. On its being brought to my attention, that thi.
had not been, I immediately gave orders that this resol -
Let me add this to the above statement: At the
joint conf'erence of the province with the Dominion Gov-
ernment held at Ottawain February last, this very mat-
ter, only on a larger scale, was brought up by the Premi-
ers and fully discussed. '
Hon. Mr. McKinnon andmyself, representing this
province, took the attitude that the same measure oi' as-
sistance should be extended to all returned soldiers as
was being given to men taking up lands. This subject
was fully discussed for several hours, but the Dominion
Government did not 'at the time see their way clear to
take any action. It was intimated that further confer-
ences would beheld at a later date, when the process of
demobilization had been gone through at which this and
many other matters affecting the returned men would be
further considered. The attitude of the Provincial Gov-
ernment as far as assistance to returned men is concern-
ed can be judged by past action. The following are some
of the matters accomplished through the efforts of the
Provincial Government:
1. The Government was instrumental in having
subscribed and sent overseas 1,000,000 bushels of oats for
England and her Allies. 1
2. The Govei‘nnient gave a grant to each man or
unit that left the province for overseas, ‘
.  The Government made grants to the Patriotic,
Red Cross and other war funds. - ‘ -I
4. The Government subscribed for $100,000 of
Victory Bonds in order to help win the war.
1 5. The Government succeeded in having a` Con-
valescent Hoine (The Rena McLean Hospital) establish-
ed at Cliai'lottetown, and a Sanatoriuin at North Wilt-
shire, (The'Charles Dalton Sanatorium.) .
H 6. T-he Government assisted by grants to patriotic
associations, in reci.-uitiiig for men to help the boys over-
seas.
7. The Government pressed for and succeeded in,
having established in this province (a) Pension Office;
(b) a Branch of the Soldiers’ Civil Re-establishments;
(c) a Vocational Training Office; (d) a Land Settlement
Oliice; (e) a Labor Bureau; (f) Returned Soldiers Aid
Commission. .i it
8. During the war a great portion of the Preniier’s
time was engaged in interviewing parents and relatives
of boys overseas and in corresponding relative to their
wants and in matters pertaining to the war and thus suc-
ceeded in having numberless grievances adjusted and
rectified. '
9. The Premier, representing the Government, has
co-operated with the Ladies’ Auxiliary of the G. W. V.
A. iii receiving the boys on their arrival from overseas,
and has put them up at hotels during their stay in town,
instead of allowing them to be sent to barracks as was
done in all other piovinces. .
10. The Government is in sympathy with the' re-
turned men and has givenlfinancial assistance to soldiers`
associations, and will continue to co-operate with them
in any matters pertaining to their advancement. _
~ 11. The Government gave the return‘ed~soldiers
the full franchise, the only representative in the House
who opposed /this was a member of the Liberal Opposi-
tion who was evidently speaking the mind of the Opposi-
tion.
As to anything further to be done let me say this:
Soldiers’ organizations are bein perf'ect,ed_in the pro -
vince and these'branches of the  W. V. A. will then ap-
surances to Colonel W. B. Prowse, President of tae G. W.
G.W.V.A., Summersire, ,that whatevei' resolutions are

This is one of two provinces of Canada where no
Union was affected in 1917. In all other provinces ex-
cept in Prince Edward Island and Quebec a measure of
Union was consumated before the last Federal elections
with 'the result that all the Liberals opposition in this
province fought Union Government. It can now hardly
be said that in view of the fact that Mr. Bell, the Leader
