He could truthfully say that during his twelve years as repre- sentative for Charlottetown he had not been out of his seat in the Legislature for one day, and that during the past four years he had not been absent for one hour while _H0use was in session.

' In the outcome of the federal el- . action, the Premier declared, amid

applause. that he stood foursqusro behind every policy enunciated by Prime Minister. He quoted the statement of the Economic Com- mittee of the League of Nations, crediting Canada. under the Ben- nett policies, with making greater progress out of the depression than any mber country in the world.
