"scoop" in journ- alistic circles. The local daily pap- ers gave extended reports oi two meetings adclrescsd by Mr. King during his recent sojourn in Winni- peg. The News understands lflill. there was a llllrd meeting at which Mr. King gave a verv plain and frank talk to key men among the Mani- toba Liberals. Unfortunately The Ncws cannot favor its readefswiih n verbatim report of Mr. King's address at this gathering, or vouch for a correct version, but surmise the following: “I will not conceal from you, my Llanitoba fricndz, that my real ob- ject in coming West at this time, i, to have a heart-tn-hcar: talk with you on tae state c-f Libel-ulna. As you are wcil aware there is something rotten, indeed very rot- ten, in the state of Liberalism, not only in your fair province of Mani- toba, but throughout our fair Do- minion. To be quite frank with you, Gen- tlemen, and. the seriousness of the occasion demands frankness, Lib- eralism is just now at the lowiccr. cbb to which it, has ebbcd in my own time. I might say it» vas dead. I might say it was moribund. It would be a distinction without a difference. As you know there is only one Liberal administration in office in Canada at the present moment, and that particular administration is the most Tory outfit from which any of our provinces suffers. For I need hardly tell you that Brother ‘las- chercau and his colleagues in Que- bec, breathe, move and have their being by the grace of the big power companies. “These things, as Huck Finn would say, arcinterrsting but tough. There is only one person just now in Canada. that; I know of who is liclp- ing Liberalism, or shall I say thc ,Lib.rnl Party, for between ourselves that ls a distinction with '1 ciceldcd difference. That person is Mr. Ben- nett himself. ‘lou will agice with me that it is a curious thing when while, we, you, that is all of " have been disgusting the public ivith the Liberal Party, Mr. Bennett has been making Liberals by the liutitlrad and the thousand. , The trade ciucslicn, of course, will naturally be our big card. 1t may not have escaped you that I put it. in the forefront of my wmcrks at the Liberal association banqurrt. In fact I devoted practically my wholc time to it, whereas, alicm, thcrc were other questions I flight liavc dealt with. What I desire to convey to you is that the Liberal party cannot livc by bread, that is by the trade ques- tion, alone. Well, what else have we? I pause, as the poet said, for a reply. "You are silent, Gentlemen, and your silence is well observed. For the sad truth is that we have liblll- lng else. It is quite true, as you might possibly suggest, that Mr. Bennett is very vulnerable in respect lo thc rather large promises which he made about curing unemploynicnt overnight. R. B. certainly lo: him- self go in that direction, on! you into tho Valley of Humiliation. Thai was putting it very mildly. I will not harrow you just now wi n the pal-if ll details. nu‘ pretty well known to you. Sens-toi- McDougald is still in the Senate losing us votes every day l\c rc- mains there. He is difficult to dis- lodge. The case of Hayden and Raymond is only less bad. McDou- gald's case calls, of course, for de- odorlzation and fumigation-Filly 110W to do it, that is the question. "Then you yourselves in this pro- vince have gotten yourselves most cmbarrnsingly mixed up with this Seven Sisters power grab. You and your organ, the Fkce Press, one hundred percent behind it. How do you think we arc going to attract, much less hold, thc young men of Canada, with the Liberal Party mixed up with the steals of one cf the most vicious groups of predatory business? It simply cannot be done, my Manitoba friends. The Liberal Party cannot live on its past. It must change with the, times. It must keep up to date. Nay, it must look ahead and point and show the way. If it fails to do that it. dies. And the Liberal Party in Canada today is dying. That, Gentlemen, is the message I brlng.- That is the word I have come from Ottawa to chew 0n until wc meet again.’ .___.._..____._+.
