During the years that have passed since then I have endeavored to the best of my ability to procure as liarge a por_t1onPas possible of governmental advantages og my native rovmce. i`he Government of the party I was elected to support, has done much for the_betterment of our trade and com- merce and our agricultural 1nte_r_e_sts. It gave us_ the Car Ferry, increased grants to ag_1°ic_ulture, the addition of $100,000 annually to our provincial s1_1bs1dy,_secnred for our Province four members for all time to come, built a number of wharves for the convenience of our farmers and shippers, also dredged the docks at Chur- lottetown and elsewhere. When it is considered that for over three years of this period, thc Dominion revenues have been urgen-tI_v required for war purposes, I feel assured that our efforts are not unappreciated by the people or the Province, ir- respective of party. I am convinced that what has been done will prove a lasting benefit to the Province and will afford a -great impetus to our future prosperity. -During the last session of Parliament I was' pleased to support Sir Robert Borden in his endeavors to unite the two great political part1es_»wh1ch_ divlde Canada in one Government. Such_a consummatton would insure a more vigorous _prosecution of the war, and_would be the means of raising with the least possible friction the ne- cessary recruits to go 'to the assistance of our hard pressed braye boys at the front. _ _ I um highly gratified that a Union Government has now been formed. It is composed of the strongest men of both parties and shall have _my full support. At the last session of Parllament an Act was passed establishing tnachirieiy for the holding of a Dominion election. It provided for the appointment of enumera- tors to make up lists of voters for all the polls. These will shortly‘be appoin‘.ocl_ May I be permitted to request that every possible assistance be given the enumerators in the p1'epat'et_ion of these lists, so that everyone in the County, -entitled to a vote, shall have his or her name on the lists before polling day. _ In thus giving an account of my Stewardship, per- mit me to state I shall be candidate for this Country at the coming election. The crisis which involves our Country is the most important in its history. It devolves upon everyone to consider Well the* issue raised: are the people of Cana- da to leave unsupported_ our brave boys at the Front, who have so long and so well fought for the preserva- tion of our rights and liberties, and whose splendid deeds of heroism have covered Canada with glory and renown? It is impossible.. I respectfully ask for the votes of all true and loyal men and women of this large and intelligent County of Queens, assuring them that the best interests of our province and especially our soldiers shall have at all times my sincere support. - ~ D.
