Then he told of the enor- mous demand which had "followed the lowering of the price.

'""Citiz- ens of Oshawa do not have to be told this," declared the candidate, "they know it well. The dinner pail is full and factories are working over- time."

This was made clear by various speakers at a mass meeting last evening. of workmen of Oshawa and veterans which taxed the New Martin Theatre to its capacity and overflowed into the street. It was a meeting of many of those who rallied to the cause of the automo- bile workers last spring, and it en- gender#éd considerably more en- thusiasm than has characterized many of the political meetings held thus far in thecampaign. Slogans on Screen Among the slogans thrown on WANT RETRACTION AL FROM EX-PREMIER KING Foie meeting were the following: "Did King promise Oshawa to re- fer the tariff to the Tariff Board before making any changes?" "pid he keep his promise?" "pid King charge that our ex- penses to Ottawa were paid by the large industries?" "Js that a falsehood?" "Will MacKenzie King gize on Saturday?" "Does he expect us to forget ine sults?"

A committee had been appointed to organize the deputation. "That committee' he said, "not- icing the tendency of the public to forget so easily the terribly possi- bilities of that time thought it in- cumbent to refresh the memory of the people of Oshawa of what might happen if they did not use discretion in the presentelection." "Do you think we did the right thing by going to Ottawa," he asked. apolo- A the screen pon the, opening of the (Continued on paze 2) Delegation four th d | pele bist visit they had made to Ottawa in the Spring, and he was here to imple- ment that pledge. He had told them their jobs were not in danger, and that their industries would not be closed. He defied anyone to say that Oshawa was not more prosper- ous foday than at any period iw all ita history. There was no doubt that the great audience was there to hear Mucken- zie King. Mr. King was given a tré- mendous ovation upon his efitty in to the hall, and while there were plenty of cheering there were some 'boos". It was vident that there was going to be pleny of excitement. Mackenzie King was ready to answer every argument. After expressing his "pleasure at being in Oshawa once more. Mr. King said that he was delighted a! the great audience which faced him. It was evident that the people of Oshawa were interested in the great topics of the campaign. He believed that the meeting would be one of the most memorable and delightful of the entire campaign, and he had spoken before some large audiences, and in many constituencies. "Many of those here," he pro- ceeded "will reca¥l that you were good enough to pay a visit to Ot- tawa early this Spring, You wore kind enough to ask for & hearing from the Prime Minister of the day. I believe they will say today that they received a very courteous hearing indeed. I did not wait until ings. 1 made a point to go to the theatre to extend them a welcome. I hope you will grant me the same courtesy today that 1 extended to you when you visited Ottawa. "I made one promise, that I would take an early opportunity of coming to Oshawa and of returning that visit, I am here today to im- plement that promise. , "I made another promise. That was that not one man would lose his job, nor would there be one dinner pail empty as a result of any changes in the tariff which would be made." I ask you have I fuliflled that prom- ise?" Fg Mr, King then turned to his re- ported utterance in Campbellton, N. B., with regard to the deputation which had visited Ottawa, "I have made it-'a point in this campaign never to speak in -a dis- paraging way of one single citizen of this fair Dominion: It is true that I have attacked'the Right Honorable Arthur Meighen, but I have done so. because of his ufterances as a pub- lic man." "I was speaking in Campbellton to people engaged in the lumbering, fishing and agricultural industries, and I was trying to point out that the government had to take ac- count of all the industries of the country. It was more difficult for the wants of the country districts to be made known, It was easier for deputations to come to Ottawa fyom surrounding towns and cities for the purpose of presenting their views."

Hadn't 1 a right to ask that ques- tion, as an ordinary man. I meant no insult to anyone.'

William Lyon Mac- kenzie King, leader of the Liberal party. It was a meeting at which the working men of Oshawa wished to discuss with the ex-premier questions which they considered vitally affected their livelihood. Mr. King assured those present that not a thing would be done by his government, if returned, to injure any legitimate industry in this Dominion. The big auditorium was jammed to capacity and the audience overflowed into the streets. The reception given the ex-premier was very generous indeed, and equally fine was the splendid ovation given the Liberal candidate, W. H. Moore,jwho was introduced by the chairman, W. A. Dryden, as the next representative of South Ontario, and a cabinet minister in the next King government. d to Mr. King, and while there was con- siderable heckling there was no serious interruption and only on two or three occasions did the chairman have to appeal for order.

This did not entirely satisfy some of the hecklers in the great audi- ence, who yelled their dissent. "I defy any man here to put any other interpretation on my re- marks," declared Mr, King. "I have said nothing of an offen- sive nature to or about anyone." "You have insulted the working- men of Oshawa," came a cry from the audience. "lI am prepared to accept your statement as true that every indivi- dual paid his own expenses," con- tinued the, Ex-premier, "and I will challenge any man to point to one instance where I have questioned the motive, honesty or action taken by any individual. "If any word of mine has caused you concern in any particular, if 1 have injured the feelings of any in- dividual through any word of mine. I withdraw it wholly and completely." This statement was received with wild cheering. "In looking back the Liberal party was able to point to the tariff changes which had been made, and to say that in not one single case had a single industry suffered." There were hoos and moans. "It is alright to moan," came back Mr. King, "Name me one industry." There was dead. silence. "And there will not in the future be one industry doing a legitimate business to suffer from any change in the tariff." Turnipg to the question- of the Tar- iff Board Mr. King pointed out the circumstances under which the board had been created. It was the intention of the government to have the board functioning at an early date, but ow- ing to the fact that jt was desired to get the best men available, some de- lay 'in- getting the machinery in oper- ation was occasibned. "Already orders 'were before the House calling for a reduction in the tariff on. automobiles.

Just here there was an interruption from the back of the hall. I am told that the gentleman who has been interrupting considerably during this: meeting is "Sandy" Brown. Pointing his finger at Mr. King Mr. Brown called out: "Yes, that man nearly took my hon.. away from*me and I have not forgot- ten it. "If you ever find vourself without a home, Mr. Brown; come down and spend seme of the time with me," re- plied Mr. King. "I have since learned," declared the ex-Premier.
