"I am proud to Geoâ€"|be on the same platform with him Mr. Boyce impressed taue crowd by asking a group that were seated in the back rows of the arena seats to move to the seats placed on the arena floor. Without hesitation on their part the group moved to the chairs indicated. Mr. Boyce showed himâ€" self at once a complete master of the situation and a master{ful speaker. "There are those who consider that the only man who can be termed a worker is the man with a pick or shovel in his hand, but we are all workers. I have a firm beliel in this camp, and will do everything in my power to further its interests. I have a firm belief in Ontario and unboundâ€" ed confidence in this Canada of ours." "I think I know how to cooperate," said Mr. Boyce, "and I think I know how to get things done." He imenâ€" tioned the separate school issue which had arisen in the district and stated that he had no jurisdiction over the schoolâ€"system <in~ province. "‘My views are the same," said Colonel Drew, "and I hope that the freed Gerâ€" man people will stand alongside the Western peoples to join together to wipe out this vile poison." |.."My real purpose in coming here | tonight," said Mr. Drew," is to conâ€" tribute to the.possible success of Perâ€" ¢y Boyce on June 7Ith. He is a sinâ€" cere candidate and worthy of your confidence." ed kept many people Hollowing Mr. Boyce was Mip. George Drew who declared that she had been impressed with Mr. Boyce‘s speech. She said that she had been deeply impressed with the Candiâ€" date‘s sincerity. "Let us make this election a Cruâ€" sade," she pleaded, in english, french and italian, to the women. "If the Italian women had not got out to vote in Italy, the election would have been a Gdifferent story. I urge you to get out and vote." She was greetâ€" ed by loud applause which lasted for minutes. Mr. Drew was then introduced by Mr. W. 0. Langdon, K.C., a friend of long standing. ‘"Mr,. Drew is a hard worker," said Mr. Langdon, "and he stands out predominately for justice for all. He will be returned with a larger majority than before and he is going to get a representative from this riding." ' Mr. Drew had a severe cold and for a time his speech was quite foreâ€" ed as he tried to overcome his handiâ€" cap. But it wasn‘t long till in his enthusiasm he forgot the cold and carâ€" ried on in his usual urbane way. First he read from a dodger that ‘had been handed to him at the doorway of the arena. It was a handbill from the LPP party asking him if his views were the same on Russia as they had been when he castigated them for beâ€" ing the allies of the Germans at the first of World War IL "Russia,‘ sald Mr. Drew, "was CGermany‘s most powerful friend in the war against freedom. For many long years, long before anyone else did so â€" I worked to drive thik y poison of Communism out of ada. The time to protect from these diseased ideas is still have a chance and no face a desperate struggle later on "These people are here," he said, registering, utter scorn, "carrying on among the new arrivals who have not yet become used to our democratic way of life, with all kinds of moving pictures and cultural entertainments,. It is all very clever Russian propaâ€" ganda. ‘They are sending in. 16mm films through the diplomatic chanâ€" nels which have not passed the cenâ€" sor board. There will be no films shown as long as .I am Premier of this province." Calling for a reâ€"affirmation of the policies of the Progressive Conservaâ€" | tive Party Mr. Drew said: ‘"We will | have a province where your chfldrtn and mine may build an inland emâ€" pire. If you think that we have \reached a_ plateau of development, | you are mistaken. A vote for â€"Percy Boyee means a vote for the future of this province. The question rests with you whether after June 7th you are going to have a representative \sitting with the government or on the | other side." Mr. Drew mentioned the Hydroâ€" Electric changeover and «all it would entail. "This is a vast project," he said, "one which startles the imaginâ€" ation. A vast grid will be set up through which all parts of Ontario, whether in the North or the South, can draw from the large resources of electric power which will be availâ€" able." Stating that negotiations were already underway with the State of New York for a new dam and power plant on the St. Lawrence River he said that there would be 1,100,000 horsepower _ available. to . Ontario from this project alone, q‘the cost would be borue equally‘ gt\ he State of New York and the Province. He said that Thursday of this week (toâ€" day) the complete final details of the project® would be drawn up in ‘Torâ€" onto. "The famous ‘housing swindle‘ was voted for by the Communist memâ€" bers as well as those of the CCF party," said Mr. Drew, . "}1\ labor relations," gaid Mr. Drew, "this province is far ahead of any Iprovmce in the Dominion in regard to labor legislation and the settle» ment of labor problems We we‘r® the first government to establish la« bor laws.

Another proposal would have added almost $400,000,000 to the present budget. Single Copyâ€"Five Cents The Pioneer Paper of the Porcupine Established 1912 fill rmoYvy where
