The first speaker. Mr. H. D. Mc-

Lwh Conservative candidate for councillor, first thanked the elect- 51's for the magnificent vote given hllnscii and Dr. MacDonald at the “,5; plqcyion- Continuing. he said that the Lea administration had died a long, lingering death. Re- ferring to the 2nd Prince bye-el- m-On, he lblu how Mr. sham. the Conservative candidate, had de- [m¢,.d_ by a large majority, the picked candidate of the Lea admin- [Siy-ojo“, in the strongest Liberal Distrit‘! on Prince Edward Island. A: tin’ ‘imc, two other seats were meant, but no election \vas held, the cbvemnlont lost courage after be- ing: l'i‘ll‘il((‘(l by the electors of 2nd. Prince.

venue received by Mr. Stewart when hc went after, and got, an increas- ed subsidy.

Mr. McLean also showed the debt increase under the Liberal Govem- ment, explaining that it would reach an alarmihi! figure if m0 present pace was kept up.

LIBERAL APPLAUSE

Thenext speaker, Mr. Edwin Reid, endeavored to reply to Mr. McLean, but was received with frig- id silence by the majority of those present. He attacked Dr. McMil- lan‘s speesh at the Capitol Theatre and cast a slur at the Guardian- Attempting to bolster up his cause, he quoted copiously from a list of figures before him. He sought to justify the procedure by which Mr. McIntyre bought machinery for his Department. Admittng that the claims of the District were ignored by Mr. McIntyre, he added o. touch of humor by promising redress if elected. He defended the purchas- ing of Nova Scotia gravel for our highways and then launched into a discussion of Federal politics.

‘DR. MCDONALD APPLAUDED

He ill-as followed by Dr. A. A. Mac- Donald, Conservatlve candidate, who was greeted with enthusiastic applause. The Doctor was in splen- ciid forln and scored repeatedly. He referred to Messrs Reid and Mois- sc-c appealing to tile sympathy of the farmers. “flu-y will have no

‘o odd to their platf sin-d“ lustre to add lo their profession if .- one became Prmeier," said the Doctor amid applause.

“Tile profession, which makes two blades of grass grow where only one grew before, does God's work."

Referring to Mr. Reid's remarks l-c Dr. iliciilillan, he clearly explain- ed that Mr. Lea “was realy more interested in heifer clubs, swine clubs and bull clubs than in the lleolill of your children. "(Applausel

Continuing. Dr. MacDonald said:

juslify their enormous expenditure of public money by saying that we must ‘broaden out’ and spend still

more of the taxpayers money. They-

tnxrd everything ‘tangible and in- tangible? Mr. Lea himself claims in be the father of the taxation wh'ch is overburdening the people."

"Four years ago,’ ‘Mr. McLean re- minllcd his hearers, "The Liberal

Prry prombed Old Age Pensions.‘

Dill any of you receive the pen- lion?" (Applause)

Doctor MacDonald then exposed the inslncerity oi’ the Lea Govern- ment's Prohibition enforcement.

"It was born in duplicity, treach- cry and tricks," he declared amid thunderous applause, "and you were told that your children would be- come drunken sots if we were el- ected. A detective was imported os- tensibly for the [lllfpflig of enforc- ing Prohibition, but who drank rum with the upper ten and was paid $1400 for his services out of the puny revenue of this Province.

are even now divided as to whether they should endorse it or not, as shown by what they have said in different platforms. Hon. Mr. Lea does not agree with old age pen- slons.

"You have a record of their en- forcement and you know what that record is, insinccrity, and interfer- ence; amendments were only more ‘workable’ for themselves."

The speaker cited the instance of the trained detective, who in bring- ing the bootleggers to justice had to drink with them and was paid
