Send A. F. Kenning back to the Legislature to assure this riding being well looked after in the matter of roads for settlers. The able administration of the Department of Mines by Hon. Chas. McCrea has done much to stabilize and stimulate mining, assurâ€" ing a fair deal for the prospector, mining capital, labour, and th e people in general. Some Points in the Government‘s Recor In 1923 before present Government had control of the affairs of the Province the ordinary Expenditure was $49,300,000; Revenue, $34,100,000; Deficit, $15,â€" 200,00. In 1928 Expenditure was $58,100,000; Revenue, $58,400,000; Surâ€" plus, $300,000. s e . . § 3 Assistance to Agriculture in 1923.......... t ies s e $1,908,000 Assistance to Agriculture in .. es $2,781,000 ~â€" TIneroase . .ccscc lc ies i is o 00,UUU In the past three years the sum of $6,414, 000 has been provided to retire the debt of the Province. With larger grants to develope the Province along all linesâ€"it has still been possible to turn a deficit of Fifteen Million Dollars mto a surplus of Three Hundred Thousand in five years. The Government is being criticized because it dld not hang on to power as long as possible. However the government is. not afraid to trust the people. An electlon, this year, is better than next year, because no doubt the Doâ€" minion Election will be held next year. Two elections in one year should be avoided if possible. The cost of course would be the same next year as this year. So that nothing would be saved by postponing the Election. There is no unnecessary expense in ho )lding the election this year The Liberal Party is so well satisfied that they would like to see the present government stay in power longer.
