Mr. Gauthier devoted part of his speech to the Frenchâ€"Canadians, speakâ€" ing to them in the French language. He upheld the stand of Hon. Roebuck and Croll in their defense of labour during the Oshawa situation. "What we need is more men in the government like these," he said. Campaign manager for the Labourâ€" Farmer group, Mr. Armstrong set forth at length on the "corruptness" of the two large parties in Ontario politics. He also demonstrated to the audience how their interests could best be seryvâ€" ed by an independent member, who did not have to hand in his resolutions to his party leaders to have them acâ€" cepted before they were put before the house. He attacked the two other candidates for election in this riding, saying they were professing to be friends of the laboring classes just to get their votes. "These two," he said, ‘"now that they say they have worked so hard fer you in the last 3 years, want to get a seat gown there and rest for the next four." Mr. Armstrong told of the wrongs of the Workmen‘s Compensation Act as it regarded silicosis He told of the changes that had been made to proâ€" tect, he alleged, the mine owners to the detriment of the undergreund men. Touching the Oshawa strike situaâ€" tion, which he claimed was the real reason for the election, Mr. Armstrong nointed out that the only union miners In line with his policy of better workâ€" ing conditions, Church referred to the changing of the Compensation Act unâ€" der the Conservative party in 1933. This, he said would have to be amendâ€" ed. He also held that miners had a right to organize in whatever union they wished. He pictured the conditions of the municipality in which the miners lived under high tax rates. The mines do nothing to help these conditions, he pointed out. The solution was a higher rate of taxation on the mines, which, he alleged they were well able to pay, and a larger part of this tax to come back to the municipality for its use. In elaborating on his stand for the farmers Mr. Church said: "I believe an investment in our northern farms will make ample returns." He said he was willing to go among the farmers and find out their needs by talking to them. He also said this would be his policy when attacking the return of taxes to the municipality. He said he would find out from the city farmers just how much should be taken. "There are a few of them who still will talk to me," he added. He attacked the present administraâ€" tion on its, as he put is, "betrayal of the people on the Separate school quesâ€" tion on relief for farmers." "Why," he asked, "if Hepburn says there is no unemployment in the north or any other part of Ontario, why does he say in the south he is going to set up Unemployment Insurance. He must expect some when the election is over." In Gdealing with the iConservative party and their dealings with the workâ€" ing man, Tommy Church held up the government‘s conduct during the Stratâ€" ford strikers in 1932 when tanks and soldiers were sent to preserve order. The candidate, Tommy Church, namâ€" ed four planks which he said would make up his platform. Both he and the other speakers stressed the fact that electing an independent man meant sending someone to Queen‘s Park who would not be tied by party strings. thusiasm andwinterest. Robert Qick‘ey,, chairman of Mr. Church‘s election committee at Kirkâ€" land Lake, occupied the chair. There were two other speakers in addition to Mr. Church, these being Mr. Armstrong, Gf the Mine Union, and Homer Gauâ€" thier, of the Retail Clerks‘ Association at Timmins. All were given orderly and attentive hearing, a group of organized hecklers being notified before the meetâ€" ing that any of that sort of disturbance would prove Gecidedly unpleasant, though honest questions would be welâ€" comed and given every consideration. The four things Mr. Church promisâ€" ed to work for were immediate proâ€" gram for road building, better working conditions for the miners, increased taxation on mines and a bigger rebate of this tax to the municipalities, and an investigation into the needs of the farmers. changes tha tect, he alleg detriment of Touching tion, which reason for t pointed out t could join w He was loud in his praise of John L Lewis, whom he held up as a great friend of the people who had put milâ€" lions of dollars back into the pockets of Canadian and American workers He said that if Hepburn claimed Lewis was using the unions to further a camâ€" paign for the presidency of the United States, he was probably right, and if Thos. Church, LaAbourâ€"Farmer candiâ€" date, held q4 first big meeting of the present eléction < campaign in the Strand thqs?t;e_,.éon Sunday eveming. Not only was the crowd a large one, but there was every evidence of enâ€" thusiasm andâ€"interest.

Dear Sir:â€"I see you have some sarâ€" castic comments about what the C. C. FP. candidate has done for the working_ man. But you missed one of the best. He put through the poll tax byâ€"law in town so that young fellows working maybe for small pay have to fork out $10, and usually the police come around to collect just when a fellow can‘t spare the ten. Anyway, it is usually a hardâ€" ship to pay out $10 all at once, or have it stopped from your pay, as is the more likely way. The poll tax used to be $5 per year,.but Jimmie never stopped until he had it made ten dollars and found ways of collecting it that would hurt the most. Every time a fellow pays his poll tax, he shoud say to himself:â€""‘It‘s great to have a friend who looks after the interest (and the poor capital) of the workingman! Hurrah for the workingman‘s friend. If it wasn‘t for the poll tax vacant lots might have to pay more taxes. This is what makes ‘*Yippers." But the workingman would be better off if he had a few less of the kind of "friends" who double his taxes and expec¢t him to pay it out of reduced wages."

Canadian students had worn a uniâ€" formâ€". type‘~ of~ clothing, the only country‘s students who did so, and so were easily recognized everywhere they went, and were under the close guardâ€" lanship of Scotland Yard.

AND I‘M GLAD THEY‘RE GOING TO CuT DowWN ON EXAMS AND HOME WORK One of the happiest and loveliest birthday parties of the year took place on Tuesday evening, when the Brownie Pack (Oof 25) were entertained by their Brown Owl (Mrs. R. Stark) to a deâ€" lightful birthday tea at their hall. The Brownie Pack was two years old and they were celebrating also the anniâ€" South Porcupine, Sept. 22. (Special to The Advance). The Glee Club met on Monday night to decide if the members wished to keep together and make a start for the fall and winter months. Last season the club had a pleasant and successful session, but found it rather difficult to finance, having no place save a rented hall to practice in. The Timmins Glee Club is fortunate in that the room in the Central School is at the disposal of the members one niglht a week. South Porcupine‘s club has no such concession, and fewer members, so at the meeting on Monday it was decided that until Christmas those members of the South Porcupine club who could do so should join up with the Timmins Club.
