Mr. King made brief reply thanking all for their kindly reception and complimenting the Timmins Citizens‘ Band and the Schumacher Pipe Band on~ their music. The Liberal Party leader said that on his tour the had received many pleasing welcomes but none he had appreciated more than this one at Timmins. «)n Friday evening there was a monster mass meeting at Timmins Rink to hear Hon, Mr. King, Mr. Jos. Bradette, the ILiberal eandidate for this riding, and other speakers. The Timmins Citizens‘ Band played on the march to the Rink, and played several selections in front of the Rink before the meeting. â€" The Schumacher Pipe Band ailso furnished musie for the evening. The crowd at the Rink was the largest ever gathered for a political meeting in this part of the North Land. ‘There were fourteen long rows of benches in the central part of the Rink, with many standing beâ€" hind in the inside of the rink, as well as the seats along one side and end of the Rink being filled.

Mr. King was greeted with roundâ€"after round of cheers. He thanked all for the reception given and complimented Timmins on its progress. Any other place ‘as large and well equipped would term itself a city, heâ€"said. He expressed pleasâ€" ure at the harmony now in the Liberâ€" al ranks in this riding. He thought Mr. Bradette had shown a fine, manly spirit, and Mr. Gallagher‘s attitude was even finer, if possible. ‘‘This election «is going to ‘be Mr. Galâ€" 0..000.00.00...00.0...0... 00'0000000.000000.00000000000’00000'000000_00’0‘0_00‘0‘0‘0’0‘.‘0‘0’0’.’.‘ _ In introducing Hon. Mr. King, for five years Premier of Canada, and leader of the Liberal party, Col. Murâ€" die said that he was the speaker for whom all were specially waiting, and he could tell them more about politiâ€" cal. matters than any other ‘man in Canada. ® form for the speakers had been arâ€" ranged. The Rink was artistically decorated with flags and bunting for the occasion. WThe crowd in attendâ€" ance is estimated at 2500 to 3000 people, with some optimists making the number even higher. It is cerâ€" tain, however, that it was the largest gathering ever held here at a political | event. A vocal selection by the Male Quarâ€" tette, Messrs J. T. Heffernan, W. R. Dodge, C. A. Taylor and John Skelly, was much appreciateg and enthusiasâ€" tically encored, the responding numâ€" ber also being well received. Mr. Jos. Bradette, the Liberal canâ€" didate for this riding spoke briefly, first in English, and then in French, He said that he was sorry that a split «had occurred last year, but he was out this year to work so hard for the Liberal party as to redeem any mistake ‘that might be counted as happening last year. In both French and English addresses he assured all that he would devote his closest inâ€" terest ‘and attention to the welfare of all in the constituency. Mr. Jules St. Paul asked Mr. Galâ€" lagher, if he thought that two doubleâ€" crosses made a right, but the question raised so much confusion that the answer could not be heard. The crowd in general wanted to hear the speakers, rather than interruptions. Mr. C. V. Gallagher, Liberal eandiâ€" date in this riding at the last election, spoke of the inspiration of the large crowd and its indication of the swing back to Liberalism. ie believed that Hon. Mackenzie King and the Liberal party had always been the friend of the middle classes. <~He touched on the reduction of postage, reduced duties, old age pensions and other benefits they had striven to confer on the people. _ Touching on the split last year in the Liberal party in this riding, he said it had resulted in the election here of the other side. As the Liberal candidate last election he had received a lot of sympathy from good Conservative friends on the sitâ€" uation but he had not received their votes,. This year, however, there was no split, and he was personally out to help in the election of the Liberal candidate, so that Hon. Mr. King might have another supporiting memâ€" ber to help in the government of the country. Col. R. Murdie, President of the Timmins Liberal Association, presidâ€" ed at the meeting and in introducing the speakers of the evening, he emâ€" phasized the fact that all Canadians should be‘ specially interested in the maintenance of right and justice and Canada‘s rightful place in the comâ€" monwealth of nationsâ€"the British Empire. He referred to Hon. Mr. King, leader of the Liberal Party, as the particular upholder and defenâ€" der of right and justice and fighting to prevent Canada being relegated to the position of a colony.

Hon. Mr. Meighen, he claimed, was trying to bluff the people. Touching on the ‘Customs Scanâ€" dal,‘‘ Hon. Mr. King said it was mostly Tory officials who were conâ€" cerned. He claimed that the Liberals had inaugurated the eleanâ€"up and that Hon. Mr. Stevens had published the charges while the investigation was in progress. There was not a word in the report of the committee against Hon. Mr. Boivin‘s adminisâ€" tration, said Mr. King. e explainâ€" ed the Aziz case by saying that the case was held up because there was doubt as to whether the came under the law as to the amount of goods smuggled, and whether he was not entitled to special consideraâ€" tion for assistance given the Crown. The case was held up for a few weeks at the request of one of the members of the House, and then was taken up and the man went to jail. He said that Hon. Mr. Boivin‘s health and strength no doubt were impaired by the imputations unjustly cast at him. Hon. Mr. King explained his side of the case in regard to dissolution of the House. He felt that if he could not carry on then Mr. Meighen couldn‘t.. He thought the King would not have taken the stand the Governorâ€"General did, though he had Hon. Mr. King promised further reduction in taxes, if returned to office. He also commented on the imâ€" proved condition of the National Railways, changed from a deficit to a sulplus, and â€" tou(*hed on Canada‘s were doing a bigger business in agriâ€" cultural implements than ever before and employing more people. He referred to the income tax reâ€" ductions made, the neduced postage rates, the abolition o% the â€"tax of reâ€" ceipts, and other things accomplished when in office. He praised Timmins for its splendid schools 8@nd educaâ€" tional facilities. Touching on the progress of Timmins he referred to fhe great growth in the postal: reâ€" venue and showed what the people saved through the reduced postage. ‘*What about a post office?"" an inâ€" terrupter called out. ‘‘You ought to have had a post office long ago,"‘ was Hon. Mr. King‘s reply, qualified only by the suggestion that he could not promise a post office for the town, because he would be accused of tryâ€" ing to buy votes. tion, he said that not a cent of the war debt had been paid by taxation under Conservative rule. . Wealth was produced, he explainâ€" ed, by land (including natural reâ€" sources, such as the mines, lumberâ€" ing, agriculture and fishing), toâ€" gether with capital and labour. To help production of wealth he figured the hbest way was to make the instruâ€" ments of production as cheap as posâ€" sible. He instanced the taking off of the duty on mining machinery as a sample of Liberal policy. The eusâ€" toms charges, he said, had not hurt, because the manufacturers toâ€"day were doing a bigger business in agriâ€" cultural implements than ever before and employing more people. The present election, according to the speaker, was to decide the British rights of the people of Candda. He claimed that Mr. Meighen had usurpâ€" ed power in a way that no other preâ€" mier had ever done in British history. Referring to the reduced numbers of the Liberal party in the last parliaâ€" ment, he said this was due to so many threeâ€"cdrnered contests. This election, this was to be avoided, and a consequent triumph attained for Iuiberal principles. He touched on the election cries of last year, claimâ€" ing they had been dropped by the Conservatives. Hon. Mr. King said that after the war, Canada had faced difficult conâ€" ditions like. other countries.. The Meighen Government, he said, had run the country deeply into debt. In the history of Canada there had been only eleven years when the country showed a smplu\. and he claimed that three of these eleven years were durâ€" ing his administration. The Liberat party had reduced the taxation of the country by one hundred million dolâ€" lars as compared to the Conservative standard. In reply to an interrupâ€" tion, he said that not a cent of the lagher‘s vietory, as well as Mr. Braâ€" dette‘s,"‘ he said. e £d Cafe.

Laroux‘s jail term was deferred for two weeks to allow him time to get in his hay erop. _ Last week he appeared in court ready to start the jail term, unâ€" der the agreement, but it was then discovered that his hired man,. Louis Cote, was also in the hands of the police on a vagrancy charge, so that there would be no one to look after the farm if Laroux started his jail term. Accordingly, Laroux was granted a further week‘s leave of ab« sence from his jail term, in order that he might complete the garnering of his hay crop.
