Former Attorney General Disclaims Any

Responsibility in

. Andrew Fraser Mitchell And Says", “G0 to Sinclair And Bell.”

Q___._

Thafihe had warned his collea- guee that Andrew Fraser Mitchell was a "crook" and ought not to be appointed Immigration Agent for Prince Edward island, but that nevertheless the‘ appollntment had been made. was the explanation given at the 8t. Columbia meeting ‘in King's County on Friday night by Mir. J. J. Johnston. K- 3-, L111- eral candidate for the County and former Attorney General In the Bell Government under whom Mit- chell was given authority to act In London.

(This statement was elicited from Mr. Johnston tby lHon. Dr. W. J. McMillan. who nfte-r speaking in ‘support of the Conservative nom- inee. illon, J. A. McDonald. took up ‘the ‘Fraser Miitchell mutter and pressed for an. answer to the ques- tion which he had already ‘put l0 the Liberal candidates in the other Counties.

"The 817,000 of which these re- tired India olflicere have been de- frauded through the misrepresenta- tlong of Mitchell must be .made up," he said. "l put the question to Hon. Mr. Sinclair a few nights ago and he said the Province of Prince Edward island should pay the bill- I wonder what my honorable friend Mr. Johnston would say?"

‘MR. JlOl-IINISTON: (rising) you want an ‘answer?

‘HON. DR. -McMILLAiN: Yes; I am piloting the question.

IMR, JOHNSTQN: 0f course, any- body can ask questions. the Doctor has ‘been up to Tlgnish amd he ask- rd ‘the question up the-re; and he has been in Queen's County too.

EHlON. DR. IMGMIIJIJAN! Yes.

IMR. JOHNSTON: ‘Now ‘he is here!

TON. DIR. McMIIJLAIN: Yes.

hVlR, JlOl-[NSTONQ ‘He hnsbeen all over the island. The “S. O. S." call wont out! He renal-lids me of the little fellow wi-th ‘the ‘pair of pants, . . .

llOlN. Dll. lhicMl-LUAIN: ‘Pwir of iboots, wasn't it?

‘lVilR. JOHNSTON: ‘No, pants. He went to hlsmother and asked ‘her to out ‘down ‘the punts. She‘ Wes too busy, lie went to ‘his sister. Shiv said she couldn't. lFlinelly the ‘little fellow decided he would cut a piece off the pants himself. The mother ‘afterwards decided she would cut them ‘down for ‘him. so ‘she cut mn- other ‘piece oilf. Then ‘the sister be- gun ‘to ‘be sorry she thud refused the young fellow‘: ‘mid ighc cut another ‘piece off. ‘My ‘hon. friend the Doc- tor has been up to Tlgnlsh, and I doult ‘think he thus got any pants left

PHESEIYlEHllN SYNSI] HEFIJHE l5 SPTIMISTIS

Al. the evening service in Zion Presbyterian Church last night an interesting report of the 62nd Sy- nod of the Maritime Provinces was given iby the pastor. Rev, G. C. Taylor. Everything went to show. the speaker said, that the Presby- terian church would go on from strength to strength. and not be u “wandering tribe in the wilder- ness" as had been pesslmlsticnlly furcusted.

"We have not all tho figures yet. Voting is still going on in places. We have not yet been able to or- gunlze all our many groups. In time this will come. but with what we ‘have already in ‘hand we num- ber over 1100 churches in Canada. "Of these 1100 churches, 800 are self-sustaining, and e. great many of the other churches, such as Fredericton and Campbeiilon and others iu that Province where we were not goi-xig t0 have a. i-Hngle church, have not yet been enum- erated in thut 800. A good many of these will be self-sustaining. With the 800 self-sustaining

" churches and 250 mission charges

we hold over two thirds of the former Presbyterian churches. “Thomas McMillan, who spoke to us in the Synod, one of the foremost business men in Canada. told us that if all our Presbyter- lons were enrolled, we stand to count 7‘50,000,—not all communic- snts, ‘but Presbyterians; so thut we are u long way from being u wandering tribe in theywlltlcrness. "But there is something more. We retain nearly seventy percent of the strength of the church, and our line is unbroken from Halifax to Vancouver. Straight across Can- ada. every place you go you will find a Presbyterian "Church.

“We have all the mission field we want; and our mission work in the Women's Missionary Society was a surprise to every one who went to that Synod. We will have plenty of missions just as soon as we get the work properly organized. We have the money and some of our men are waiting to go; it is just a matter of get ting our boundaries set.

“Think of the women of this Synod alone. They came with a report that inspired all of us. Af- ter all this trouble their account for the year was $20,000. When we told them that rwe had a num- ber of young men working for us this summer on the mission field they handed us over $5,000, and felt that they could have doubled that if desired. That is just in the Synod of the Maritime Provinces. nnd financially we are the poorest in Canada.

"We had 53 ministers at the Sy- nod. and if all the fields that could support ministers had had them.

The political meeting at Har- rington l-lallhBrackley Point Road, held on Friday evening last, was attended by s large number of the electors of that district and the audience included quite s numlber ‘of ladies. Each of the candidates received s. fnlr hearing, and it was quite evident from the number of questions asked the speakers, that n very lively interest is ‘being tak- en ‘by the district in the poylticsl issues of the present camps gn.

Mr. Charles E. Stewart acted as chairman in a fair and impartial manner. and at the close of the lmeeting was tendered a vote of

which he had carried out his du- ties.

Mr. Donald MscKinnon was tho first spen-ker, and he~first coni- pared the ‘campuign platform of the Liberals and the Conservatives. The issues of the present cam- paign were more clear cut than that of the one fought four years ago. The policy of the Conserva- tive pnrty was quite distinct and had a definite thought ln view. On

not had a protective tariff by which It had been built up. Every young country needed it for its dc- veiopment. It might be otherwisc if all countries had free trade. but when one put up a. barrier. it was unfair that the other should not retaliate. The Conservative cau- didstes bad been asked at other meetings why Mr. Maighan had not put on s protective tariff prior to 1921. The Melghsn policy was to protect the farmers ‘by putting a tariff against American farm products. Conditions today were greatly changed from those of 1921, but even thou Mr. Meighen foresaw the change that was to take place and advocated the tar- iff. The Liberal plank then had been free foodstuffs. The Ameri-

ney Bill put into effect just be- fore the election and had raised the tariff wsll. Premier Meigheu bad said that Cunddu should put up its tariff too. To the fact that it urns lowered instead of raised could be attributed what the farm-
