J. Earl Lawson It was much to the regret of the audience, which filled the room to capacity, that J. Earl Lawson, M.P., announced that owing to the lateness of the hour, he could not speak any more than five minutes. Due to the amount of business brought up at the meeting and the fact that Mr. Mac- aulay spoke before him, Mr. Lawson was not given the floor till five min- utes before six o'elock. "However", commented Mr. Lawson, "l under. stand there is to be a Convention soon and then I will take the oppor- tunity of addressing you on the sub- ject of Dominion matters. Let me say this-it is propitious that we should be holding this meeting on the week-end when the whole country is celebrating King George's Silver Jubilee, because the Conservative "tira.r.ty has always stood for Imperial . unity. "Let me comment also on the stand the Canadian Legion is taking. It is the stand of patriotism. Declaring it has been silent long enough, the Le. The "Federal" Liberals of South York hold a convention last Saturday. A goodly number of persons were in at- tendanee. Those who stayed away miss- ‘ed out on some splendid entertainment. Comedy, drama and possibly even trtutedy--riopenriitux on how you look at it-were packed into the afternoon', proceedings. The Man on the Street has often paid good money to soc loss action. VOLUME Minus“ 28 "The Heliburn Government is 'on the mb' ts members do not face their ig job of running t.h.ep.r?vi.rtct on a business basis but think it is just a narrow political game of strategy and wit", declared Hon. Leoimld Mac- aulay, M.P.P., at the annua meeting of South York Conservative Associa- tion held Saturday afternoon .in the Major Theatre, Rogers Road.

"And with all their talk of economy, if they were to tell the truth, they would have to admit the public debt is not decreasing, rather it is increasing $100,000 a day." "They promised then they would get you more work, knowing there were 24,000 on relief in York Town, ship alone.

They talk about the iron heel of the former.Hrmry Government-if anyone can match the iron heel tac- tics of the Hepburn Government, I'd like to meet them and defy them to prove it". Hepburn and his Wovp.rn- ment are totally inadequate to handle the job they have taken on. "Our greatest crisis today is unem- ployment. We are facing a condition under which somewhere between 15 and 20 per cent of the people of the North American continent are unvm- played, and such a condition cannot continue iorevvr because if it does, our race Cannot endure. We have got to do something about it, and if that involves some great extension of our monetary system, that will have to Icome too, qulic men must find some [means of solving this machinn-made depression-we must master machin- ery, not be mastered by it," declared Mr. Macaulay. gunnery and tllftt Mr. G.

Resolution- Filled Among resolutions passed by the Association at this meetin was one expressin continued confidence in Rt. Hon. I. B. Bennett, Prime Minis. ter, in J. Earl Lawson, WP., and pledging support to Mr. Lawson in the coming election. Another resolution pledged con- tinued loyalt and devotion to King George and gueen Mary on the occa- sion of their Jubilee, and as the notes of the National Anthem were heard from the front end of the hall, all stood and joined heartil in the sing- ing of "God Save the King." 1 Weston is Welcomed The greater part of the afternoon was given over to the election of offi- cers which was done by ballot and, as the suggestion of R. J. Flynn of Weston, was "Sudden death." In the absence of President Ralph Russell, who was reported as seriously ill, the chair was occupied by William Jarvis, who on behalf of the Associa- tion, welcomed Weston into the riding of South York, this having come about by a recent re-distribution of Federal ridings. When the question was raised as to whether Weston should have a special representative on the Central Executive, Reeve James Cameron got to his feet and pointed out that "Speaking for my- self as President of the Weston Con- servative Association, and for Mrs. Jack Allan, President of the Women's 'Conservative Association of Weston, I can say we are most anxious to co- operate with the Central Executive, so it will hardly be necessary to ap- point a special representative." This was agreed to willingly by the Association. ' During the course of the afternoon, Hon. Leopold Macaulay was con- gratulated on his election to the provincial Legislature last June, and also on "the brake which he and other opposition members had been able to put on the irresponsible Lib. eral Government." Re Juniors R. J. Flynn of Weston introduced a resolution which suggested that, as in South York, the of ice of a Fourth Vice-President be created by the As- sociation, that this' vacancy so created be filled by the Junior As- sociation's appointment of one from its own ranks. This resolution was most favorably received, and the chairman, in presenting it, said he would declare it carried it it were unanimous, otherwise it would have to be given as a Notice of Motion. The show of hands seemed to make the passing of the resolution unan- imous, although no count was made, but when the Chairman called for the ~5‘Nays" one hand was raised in the back of the hall. So, although pro- tests were heard from that section of the hall, to the effect that there had been no dissentin voice there, the resolution was 'd'l'lcf lost, and the business of the meeting pro- ceeded. The newly-elected President, Joseph Dufton, in taking the chair soon " ter, called it a "Crying Shame" that Mr. Flynn's resolution should be killed by only one vote, and declared his intention of fi hting to the finish to see that the gunior Associations (Continued on Page 3) uproar. Jeers, (at-calls and an organiz- ed attem pt to shout him down fliled to deter him. Sheer persistence and I very loud voice won him a partial hearing.

Howard Gray, solicitor tori Weston, and defeated candidate for) nomination for the federal riding ofr South York at the official Liberal, Convention, held March 16th, received the federal nomination of the newly- formed South York Federal Liberal Association, at their convention held last Saturday in York Memorial Col- legiate. ‘ The holding of the new convention and the acceptance of the nomination by Mr. Gray marks a definite split in the ranks of South York Liberals. As a result of Saturday's meeting, there are now two Liberal candidates seek- ing election in Federal South York, Captain Elmore Philpott having re- ceived the official Liberal nomination in March. Declaring that the official Conven- tion was not fair and "ttin', Mr. J. W. Garrick, president of t e new South York Federal Liberal Association, read a number of sworn affidavits testifying to alleged irregularities at the meeting at which Capt. Philpott was chosen as candidate. Included in these affidavits were statements claiming that political pa- I tronage had been promised in return' for votes for Philpott, that members, were refused admission to the conven- l tion, that non-members were 'sdmit-: ted, that ballots had been improperly handled, and that delegates cards; were not delivered to a great manyi members in good standing of the', Ward One Liberal Association. 1 Mr. Garrick criticized Capt. Phil- pott as comin from outside the rid- ing, stating 't'lfal "surely we have in Sowh York someone who is competent to represent us." "Why has Capt. Philpott repented so suddenly," asked Mr. Carrick, "and come back like the prodigal son. If he wants a nomination, let him seek it in his own riding."
