t * Vol. 50 No. 4 Flcsherton Ontario, June 25, 1930 W. H. Thurstcn & Son, Proprietors ' .' : : U .1 Your Vote and Influence Solicited for L G. Campbell Liberal-Conservative Candidate for South-East Grey In offering myself as a candidate in South-East Grey I am doing so in the belief that as a member of the Liberal- Conservative party I can best represent the electorate of South-East drey in a programmme that will be of the most benefit to all classes in the riding. I believe the time is past when the advocating of impossible theories, destructive criti- cism and fault-finding can do anything for the .electors of Canada. Rather, I think the time is here when the representa- tion at Otawa should be selected with a regard for business ability. 1 make no exucses lor being a candidate under the banner of the Liberal-Conservative party, believing as I do that the Conservative policy of moderate protection tariffs for our farnxers, manufacturers and citizens generlly is the onry salvation for the future prosperity of this great young country of ours. The great need of Canada today is for a government thjt will devise a tariff ef benefit to Canada as a whole. No one section of this great country can expect to receive everything that is of benefit to itself and reject that \vhih may no' be so favorable but which is n necessity in some other section of the country. Can- ada has too much territory and too many varied interests to permit of this. If arc to gmv as a nation, then we must adopt a policy of eminent fairness to all sections, build up an interprov- vincial trade that will take the place of the United States market which has been taken a\vay. develop trade within the Empire on favorble grounds to ourselves and the other outlying dominion?, and take the first step in the upbuilding of the great British Empire which should and can be able to live within itself. This policy cannot be done with a representation at Ottawa who are not in sympathy with a movement of this kind, or which at every opportunity handicaps the government in power. Criticism of nationoal policies, that is, fair criticism, must as well be construct- ive. Habitual fault-finding means failure, whether in private business or in our national life. Whether we believe in it or not, Canada is destined to be governed on the two-party system. Or constitution has made no provision for a third party. From the time of Confederation nearly sixty-three- years ago, any progress in Canada has been made under either a Liberal or Conservative administration. In that time we have had third parties spring up. but they have been of teh mushroom variety and after growing for a few years havo gradually disappcred. This is what is happening today. Only a short eleven years go the United Farmer Group swept Ontario, were placed in power in Toronto, and functioned for one parliament. We all know the result and it is not necessary to recall the condition of this province when they went out of power. In the Dominion House the Progk^ssive movement was quite strong, for a time held the balance of power, but where is it today ? It is scarcely necessary to state that in either Ontario or at Ottawa, there will rcver again for a tong time be a similar group representation. The United Farmers as a politicl group is an almost forgotten party and an analysis of the cause shows that their disappearance was because of inefficiency to deal with matters affecting the farmer rather than from lack of enthusiasm. The Conservative party is a moderte protection party. The recent Dunning budget, in which the policy of protection has been adopted, has brouyht the two old parties closer together. Mr. Dunning has admitted that in the stress of lard times it is at policy of protection ofr Canadians as a whole (the Conservative policy, in fact) which must save the situation, and in voting for me as your representative nt the next Dominion Parliament, the electors of Southeast drey are returning ono \vho is in full sympathy with the farmer, one who will do everything in his power to sec- that they are amply protected in 'heir home market against foreign competition, and one who will a'so do everything possible to build up for them in the foreign field a market that will assure them of adequate returns for their labor. I am appealing to the etectois of South-East Grey to consider this eltction from a busitiefs staiulpoint. A* a rural riding in a farmiivr-mamnV-tui-injr county, both urban :md rural interests are identical, and a moderate policy of proteltion for both farmers n-d manufacturers should ho for the mutual advantage of both.
