LENS INSINUATION CHALLENGER-Mr. Lea has made thQ place on Government Control, and in other pieces on Prohibition. I say that that statement is not ‘. (Applause). We have not a. record oi that kind. (Applause). It is periectly true, and l admit it, that We put iorward the platform oi Gv ent Control at the last election; but we did it honestly, and. the people havln, decided against it we are prepared to stand by the decision oi the people and carry out the law upon the roads or otherwise. AMAZING PERFORMANCEL-l was rather amused, in the Patriot ne ,. , 'u account oi the Liberal meeting at Hunter River, to read that Premier Lea had shown “very clearly" how all the planks in their platform oi 1927 had been "Iully implemented," in loci. more than im- plemented! The Patriot said that the hail iairly rocked with applause. The thing that surprises me is that alter a statement oi that kind the hail did not ioil about their ears. CONSERVATIVE TAX REDUCTION.—When we took oiilce in 1023 one oi the planks oi our platform was that we would press ior lurther subsidy from the Federal Government, and upon attaining to that, that we would give the beneilt to the people in reduction oi taxes. .We obtained an increased subsidy, and we kept our promise by reduc- Ing the taxes. We are accused-and just think who accuses usl-oi doing that ior the purpose oi pandering to the electors on the eve oi an election; oi -- oring to "buy the people with their own money-" ' ' ‘ The present Government does not seem to understand what It means to keep its word to the people, That is what we did; we pro- mised that lf We obtained a certatin thing, we would give the taxpay- ers the benefit. We obtained it, and we kept our word. And ii we had been returned to power in 1927, l am iree to say that you would not ilnd the finances in the condition in which you find them today. KING'S AUDIT BOARD.-—Nova Sculls, and New Brunswick did not recognise this Board in the matter oi our subsidy claims settlement. The Premiers oi those Provinces knew perfectly well that it was oi no value, that it was simply a stop-gap. a gesture on the part oi the King Guv ent to mark time until the federal election was over. So they did not attend the sitting oi the Board. We had representatives irom this Province in the person oi Mr. Lea. and another. Did we get any- thing? I will tell you what happened. It cost this Province a. thous- I-Ild dollars ior their attendance. It is charged up in the Public Ac- count and to the taxpayers oi this Province it was nut worth one five-cent piece-as Mr. King might lay. IS HE SlNCEltlW-Now I want. to draw your attention to this, that when Mr. Leo went to Ottawa and presented a claim oi $438,000 before the Audit Board, he had already published his claim ior c3312,- 166.57 in the Patriot newspaper. In other words, when he Jesented his claim in the Patriot to the people oi this Province he claimed over ithree million dollars, and when he presented lt to the Audit Board it ‘had shrunk to iour hundred thousand dollars. Ii he ever gets bclore the Privy Council what will heclalm '2 GRASS STUPIDlTY.-I hove taken up some time with this subject, In an endeavor to show you what the people oi‘ this Province can expect to obtain irom the ciiorts of this Government‘ by way oi’ im- plementation oi our subsidy claims. ln the tlrst place, we have negli- gence; we have want of ialth; we have lack oi knowledge. That l: bad enough. All these things make a pretty bad showing. But when you add to this, crass stupidity in the way oi presenting them-stupidity to euoh l. degree that it holds this Province up to the ridicule oi Canada, then I think you can come to a fairly accurate conclusion as to what you may expect irom this Government with regard to obtaining a sub- lldy settlement irom the Dominion oi Canada. WASTE AND EXTRAVAGANClL-We ere not condemning the Government because they have iunded the auto license fees and the gas taxes; but we are blaming them because in raising these large sums oi money they have not supervised the expenditure as they ought; because they have wasted a large amount oi it.-spent extrava- gantiy the money that will have to be paid back. as I said beiore, with interest, by ourselves or those who come aiier us- ROAD GItAVELLING-ln this Province we have valuable gravel deposits. equal to the material imported by this Government irom the mainland, and perhaps better; gravel that can be dug and hauled to where it can be used by our own pepole and our own people will obtain the wage: and remuneration. That will be our policy. There is where we blame the Government, ‘ , having borrowed the money, they have let it go complete‘, out oi the Province, and the people have not obtained any benefit except such as they have received irom the gravel- od roads. i STATUTELABOIL-We claim that every rnan in this Province, oi this Province. And I any no man can assert truthiully that the Conservative party ever took any other attitude with regard to the laws oi’ the country which they were attempting to govern ,aud that any man who would attempt to make a canvas oi that kind is reoreant to the party to which he belongs. ~ STANDING DY l-They promised to stand by the Prohibition Aet. and they are still "standing by"l They stood by and saw the law violat- ed; they stood by and saw more liquor brought into this Proviuoe in the last iour years than was ever seen or heard oi since the Prohibition Act was introduced. They stood by and allowed the poor man to be taken and fined and committed to‘ jail while the big man, the" party heeler who was making hundreds and thousands oi dollars out oi thl traiiic. went unrooleated. That was the way they “stood by”; that is the way they enforced the-Prohibition law during the past iour years. And these are the men who say that we havenot been honest and sincere! PROVINCIAL POLICE —-l do not obicci to a Provincial Police iorce. I think perhaps it is a good nstliution, and I know they have it in other provinces. But it can be carried to excess. ‘Here they have a stair costing irom $30,000 to $40,000 a year. You see them about, in great numbers, and they are dressed very flue, wearing magnificent ‘uniforms: better than the soldiers’, perhaps better than the oilloera‘ uniforms. And it is all at the expense of you people. That would be all right it it were necessary, but unfortunately thig orgfllilation h” been iliiiii 10f ililrlllucs oi party politicl. They have appointed men who are simply party heelers and who have no quallfioatiens whatever, and l say when they are paying men oi that stripe as policemen they are ihrvwine sway your money and they are holdln; in. m‘; rho-mes in ridicule to the whole oi Canada. - TEACHERS’ INCREASEI-Ii these gentlemen iuel Ilvrfllflilitd their bounden duty, ii they had pressed our claims at ilitawa and obtained the money they should have obtained. it would not he necessary to place any plebiscite on the election ballot. We would then be obtain- ing irom the Dominion Government the money they now invite you to ieavy upon yourselves an a tn to pay the teaohen.

TIME FOR AfllQNe-The time has come when the Gvvenungnl, oi this Province should not be permitted any longer to play hide and seekfand blind man's bluii, with this nutter. We should get our claims. we should have them implemented without any iurther delay, because ior want oi that money our llublle rel-nee, are jailer-in‘, gnfl o...- lleollie ill mflfly- cases who have to periorm public urvieu are not paid an they should be paid. , ' a - FOUR.

For the Princess Elizabeth believes. says her biogra- pher, that the poise and polish oi the agreeably mannered which she has attained by perseverance should be passed on." e00 Lite with her, says Anne Ring, who tells the story, became exciting at a very early age. when she learn~ ed to say her first word, which was "Mummy" she aired her accom- plishment diligently, greeting all B-nd sundry, not even making excep- tions oi" the solemn family portraits which decorated the wall. Her name ior herself was "Liliebetb." But the Duchess never varied from "Eliza- ’beth," a name which answered for both endearment and punishment. ‘ for what is more crushing than “Oh, Presytery pf .
