Mr. Frost scored The Globe and Mail, its nullionaire owner and broker publisher. and the policy it had adopt- ed. He believed that the whole country has become thoroughly disgusted with the dictatorial attitude of Premier Hep- burn and his crude discourtesy to all who differed from him. “Hepburn has set race against race, class against class, creed against creed, lalpour against capital. Domini-on Liberals against pro- vincial Liberals. His work has all been destruction and against the fine spirit of Canadianism that was growing up in this country," was the way Mr. Frost summed up the various troubles he credited to the present government.

Like most of the other speakers le the evening he believed that there would be an election in the next three or four months and that all should be prepared to win victory for a return to safe and sane government. Dr. J. B. McClin-ton, the chairman, urged that a constructive policy be clearly enunciated in regard to the North.
