on behalf of Victory Loan While honest men may differ on many questions this was one on which all would agree He regarded it as tho ut most importance to the prosperi ty of Canada thai loan should be a success He pointed out that England had loaned to her five billion dollars and is no longer able to purchase need ed supplies except on credit Be fore the war loaned lo this country three million dollars for its development the advan tages of which every citizen is reaping The 11 has loaned five billion dollars ana refuse lo loan more unless it Is spent for supplies In their country Canada has sent 400- men to the front of which number have made the supreme sacrifice and wounded The war is now cost ing Canada one million dollars a day This Is the fourth loan launched in Canada a total of five hundred million dollars It is a question of personal security as well as national security Tho nation that does not fight for honor and freedom deserves to he destroyed If Germany wins In this war what value your mortgages be Canada is call ing for your savings lo aid the men In defending our homes Let every man and woman give a pat riotic response Mr J Godfrey of Peel Co a Liberal on behalf of Union Candidate Ho said the issues were so great and the results so tremendous that personal friendships had lo he sacrificed in order to do the right thing by Canada and the Empire Both candidates say arc out to win the War and it is a question as lo which pol icy is best For two years he had advocated a Union Govern ment and although has only been in office five weeks it has already borne fruit Ho refer red lo the splendid efforts of North York in recruiting the and Battalions hut volunteer recruiting was at an end Sir Bordens visit to front convinced him that the men needed assistance as soon as possible and on his return he advocated a compulsory policy His successful in the formation of a Union Govern ment was outlined showing the prominent Liberals all over the Dominion with the exception of Quebec had come to his assist ance The new Cabinet were able lo do things that party gov ernment could not do such as the shutting down of public works prior to an

Association for allowing him the opportunity to address the electors at their meeting and be made good use of every minute allowed him The oriais In nations history makes it important that Canada should he united He said ho had the strongest sympathy with the idea of Union Government and the fault does not lie with Sir Wilfrid that it was not formed more than two years He declared that the present Gov ernment was a Union Gov ernment to develop a policy that would the country united but a Government to work out policy of Sir Borden That volunteer recruiting came to an end vas no fault of Mr Godfrey and many other private was fault of the Borden Government The people have no confidence in the Borden Government We had no such effort under Government lo recruit men as the present Loan to recruit money Bennett and Borden could hold meetings the country for why has not recruited MrGodfrey was at a loss to know whoro Wilfrid would got mon to form a Cabinet if elected but Mr King did not think it would he very hard to find 3 competent business mon In all sacrifice and personal interests in formation of a truly national government Ho was glad that a good Liberal Carvel I had entered present Cabinet lo save the country it would have wrought havoc in this present crisis Our citizens must have read with in dignation in the morning papers regarding the profits of the ba con trade He denounced Sir Joseph vello for eighty per cent profits on the peoples food and condemned the giving of heredi tary titles to Canadians The Governments plan to lake part of the profits of packers ho char acterized as joining hands with profiteers against tho con sumer Tho people wore entit led to have prices properly con trolled Mr King explained at some length the Foundation which was brought up by Mr Godfrey and read a letter from Karl Grey Gov ernor General of Canada who congratulated him on his ap pointment and considered thai it was an honor to Canada that he vas chosen for the vork He laboring lo avoid industrial strife and his book on Industry and Humanity was almost ready- the press He had taken up vork for the welfare of mankind and when ho is elected a member of Parliament he will a measure along these lines He closed a snappy speech which punctured by many remarks by asking Mr Armstrong to an swer tho following questions which had been handed to him olectors How do Justify to tho peo ple of this riding who elected you as their representative six years ago the following Acts of the Borden Government lo all of which you were a parly and on all of which you gave

the circumstances of any right to the people to express their views one way or the other The autocratic enactment a lav whereby the people of Can ada were obliged to assume lia bilities of Canadian Northern Railway amounting it is esti mated lo over 000000000 and at the same time leave the direc tion of the Railway in the hands of Mackenzie and Mann and de prive Parliament of the right to pass upon the justice of an award of millions of dollars that may be made to these men and their friends under an arbitra tion as lo the value of stock which the Governments Commission appointed to inves tigate the Railway situation in Canada have reported that not a dollar of value had been paid How do you Justify the use of the closure in Parliament to pass this kind of legislation without the

Legislature at its last session From men in this Rid ing whom you know to he among its best citizens men who hern- solves and whose fathers have supported Pickering College and who out of loyal patriotism gave the College to the Government to he used as a Hospital for return ed soldiers How do you a represent ative of this Riding justify being a parly to the enactment of elec toral machinery which affords no adequate opportunity to the peo ple of this riding to see that names of persons entitled to vote are added to the lists which per mits of no appeal to an impartial tribunal against omissions and additions which may bo mani festly unfair and which places the whole electoral machinery in the hands of partisans many of whom are said to be your nomi nees How do you justify your act
