Representatives from various points of the district attended the Convenâ€" tion of the Independent Labour Party held in Cochrane on Saturday of last week. The convention was an earnâ€" est and enthusiastic one, but after mature deliberation and consideration it was decided not to nominate a canâ€" didate for the present Dominion Election.

Important Gathering Tomorrow Night to Get Ready for Big Show Hers. POULTRY ASSOCIATION ~~ MEETING FRIOAY NIGHT said Dr. Manion;‘"*but I feel that we would be imbeciles if we pretended that all .was welly‘‘ _ There was a decrease of millions of tons a year in freight haulage, factories were closed, there was general depression, and all Premier King bhad to offer was ‘*Senate Reform.‘‘ _ ‘"If the whole Senate were dumped lock, stock and barrel. in â€"the ‘sea would it give one. single man of a job?‘‘ asked the spesker. «The country had to get ~ After some flattering words for the candidate, Ray O‘Neill, Dr. Manion referred to the bad conditions in Canada toâ€"day,â€"the worst, he said, in the history, of the country since the Alexander McKenzie Free Trade Government was in power. _ There was business depression, unemployâ€" ment, and the country was losing over 100,000 good Canadians to the United States each year. The officiai figures admitted 100,000, but the acâ€" tual figures were probably three times that. ‘‘They say"we are pessimists, because we, point out these things.‘""| The speech of the evening was by Dr. Manion, a member of the former Meighen Cabinet. The big audience listened to this rapidâ€"fire address fo over an hour, with absorbed interest. Eloquently and effectively he dealt with the public questions of the day, and as he humourously suggested himâ€" self the effectiveness of the address was about doubled by the work of a questioner in the audience, This questioner was evidently a Mackenzie King sympathizer, but he was courâ€" teous anrd reasonable, and his quesâ€" tions simply were turned into pegs upon which Dr. Manion hung convineâ€" ing arguments and explanations that went to the point. ' Mr. L. Cote, of Ottawa, made an effective â€" and reasoned address in French. Mr, W. McRaye, of Winnipeg, made a very pleasing address, livened by wit, humour fnd philosophy. He made an eloquent plea for Canadian uniâ€" ty and the development of a Canaâ€" dian spirit and a Canadian conscience. A National Policy is thg only policy for Canada, he said. ~ Mr. Bastian, of Ramore, spoke ably in French advocating Conservative policies and the election of Ray O‘â€" Neill. â€" | {C. P. R., but thought that the Governâ€" ment Railways could be conducted under public ownership. The labour market was glutted at present, and he thougnt immigration should be |stopped until this â€"was remedied. . He |advocated an 8â€"hour day and a fair wage clause in all Government conâ€" tracts Dominion, Provincial and Muâ€" nicipal. He found fault with the attiâ€" tude of parliamentary representatives of this riding in the past, saying that after each session members should hold public meetings and explain their work, instead ‘of just appearing aâ€" round election time., He hoped to see. the Transâ€"Canada highway pass through the North Land. Menion was made of what he had done for the settlers in the case of the Mattagami Pulp Paper Co. He said he was asâ€" sured ~by the Government that no tranfers of limits would be allowed until the settlers were paid. The need for Federal buildings in the riding was touched upon. Mr. O ‘*Neill amâ€" phasized thegidea that we should set| Canada first. He promised on a later ] occasion to define his position on Imâ€" j perialism, War, and some other quesâ€"| , tions. The candidate also «nade a f brief address in French. _â€" . Mr. Ray OQO‘Neill, Liberalâ€"Conservaâ€" tive candidate, explained his platform, touching on the tariff, the pulpwood embargo, public ownership, immigraâ€" tion and other questions. He advoâ€" cated a sane liquor law, and suggested that the tax on liquor might make it possible to take some of the taxes off the workingman‘s living expenses. He did not favour the amalgamation of tie Government Railways with the Mr. Geo. A. D. Murray, President of the Timmings Conservative Associaâ€" tion, oceupied the chair, Among those on the platform were Mr. Jas.

There was a large attendance at the meeting held last night in the New Empire Theatre in the interest of Ray OQ‘Neill, the Conservative candidate. The meeting was one of the most inâ€" teresting and suceessful political gathâ€" erings ever held in the Camp. _ The addresses by Dr. Manion, formerly in the Meighen Cabinet, cnd Mr. W. Meâ€" Raye, of Winr‘peg, made especial appeal to the gathoring. Dr. Manion‘s effective handling of ‘the tariff qussâ€" tion was a particularly able and pleasâ€" ing presentation of the subject.

McGrath, a wellâ€" known and highlyâ€"regarded pioneer | resident of this Camp, left his home unexpectedly on Monday morning, Sept. 28th, at a very early hour, and since that time no trace of him has [ been â€" secured. _ His family _ and friends ‘are very anxious to locate him, fearing that he is ill or that he may have met with an acci%ent. The anxiety is naturally great in view of the fact that he was a man who was unusually kird and thoughtful to his family, and he never wss away from home even for a night before, without his family knowing where he was. Anyone who can give any information â€" in the matter will be doing a real kindness by notifying Chief of Police M" Greer, at Timmins, at onee, the police at present being engaged in efforts to assist the family in locating the missing man.

MCGRATH MIGGING SEPTEMBER 75th Dr. Manion closed his address with an earnest appeal to all to study the questions of the day and vote as true Canadians working for the advantace and development of Canada. Dr. Manion referred to the Union Government as the best government that Canada had ever had. This in answer to a question. The King Government was the worst this counâ€" try had had. _ Conditions after four years of Mackenzie King proved this. And conditions would be even worse were it not for the good crops. ‘‘And the crop is the only thing in Canada that Mackenzie King could not interâ€" fere with,"‘ said Dr. Manion. |a price to get cheap goods. At the same time Dr. Manion showed that as soon as foreign competitors got the native factories erowded out, then up went the prices. He instanced the ease of a Hamilton ‘glass factory foreed out of business by the King tariff, and now Canadians were payinz more for glass and paying to foreisnâ€" ers at that. ‘‘Do you want to su>»â€" port Canadian farmers, workingmen and industries; then vote for the Meighen Government. If you want to build up foreign nations, vote for Mackenzie King.‘‘ Dr. Manion showâ€" ed how the United States had grown great and prosperous through the use of a high tariff. If Canada wished to preserve her life ag a nation, the National Policy, brought upâ€"toâ€"date must be enforced,. Sir Wilfrid Laurâ€" ier had not interfered with the Nationâ€" al Policy and that was why Canada had remained prosperous in the Laurâ€" ier regime. f ¢ sarid. ‘‘What is the use of having cheap goods if you haven‘t work here to bring you wageés to buy? _ We should be more interested in having work and wages that are scood than goods available that are cheap *‘ ( The two cheapest countries in the worldâ€" Ciina and Indiaâ€"were cheap because labour and conditions were so poor. Canada surely would not pay such D. Manion scored the King Governâ€" ment for its Royal Commissions and their expense. He touched on other extravagances, such as the fact that , the travelling expenses of the Dept, of 'Agriculture totalled over $800,000.00 last year. It was‘on the tariff that Dr. Manâ€" ion made the biggest hit, his effective and clearâ€"thinking explanations provâ€" ing Canada‘s need for a tariff high enough to protect the industries here, Questions by a Liberal in the audiâ€" ence, as suggested above, were clearly turned to effective use by DF. Manion. Dr. Manion showed that if Canadian industries maintained their present high standards of wages and condiâ€" tions they could not compete with certain foreign nations that emploved cheaper labour under poorer standâ€" ards of living. ‘‘Cheapness is not the only thing to be desired surely,"‘ he QQ;A “‘xvl\n‘- t 9 5 fra C c pay cE3 ; back to the National Policy of Sir John A, MacDonald and protect Canaâ€" dian industries and Canadian farmers and other workingmen. _ Touchinz briefly on financial mauiters he showed that alleged surplus of the King Govâ€" ernment was in reality a deficit of $116,000,000 last year.
