Tony, a tall, darkly hansome man, proved to be a fiery speaker and started proceedings with "I am pleased to see such a g£00G01 number (150) of Liberals here to supâ€" port the ceritre line course. "The Conservatives," said Tony Bos, "say that their policy has everything you require and that if you are smart, you‘ll â€" support George Drew just to be on the winning side. "In Northern Ontario we are fightâ€" ing for ourselves," he said, "and we are heartened by the information from our friend in the South. George Drew is interested in the things for his own party. The reasons for the election as state by Mr. Drew. are farcial. His whole Hydro policy is behird that cf the Li beral Party when behird that ing 1 are h our 1 Drew to power.

Dre has wind and nothing behind it. thank you."‘ Mr. Bos sat down. Mr Evans then introduced an old Liberal warrior named Little. Mr. Little was not sure that the Liberals would win, but he said that they would probâ€" ably take a lot of seats from George Drew. "Drew‘s promises have not : been fulfilled," said Mr. Little,: "He is now making â€" repentance promises, and since he hasn‘t kept any of the ones made previously, he isnt likely to keep the ones he makes now in the heat of an election campaign.‘ Mr. Little shifted his stance and licked his lips. He was merely warmâ€" ing lo his subject. "Drew promises to â€"do something about the milk situâ€" ation but nothing was done. As a mater of fact, he has only made things worse I beliave that if the farmer was to get paid at the same rate as the laborer he would get $1.00 a pound. After Mr. Little sat down, Greg. Evans called for nominations for Candidate. Emile Brunette was first nominated but Emile declined as he said that he was running in the new Federal riding which was being formâ€" ed.

"I feel this is an honor to be able to serve in peace as well as in war," said Mr Scanlan. A tall, intense, serious type,. Mr. Scanlan captured his audisnce immediately with lhis obvious masculine charm. "I shave studied the theoretical side of politics and have always wanted to get into the fighting or practical side of polâ€" itiecs. ; "There are three democratic schools of thought," said Mr. Scanlan. "Ours, middle road, the Right ands Socialism. which is to the far left. The great body of the Ontario people are not eager to endorse eiher of these exâ€" tremes and are caught in the squeeze. Ontario has the dying remnants of the Conservative party and is the only province whith a Conservative government. The large mass of the Canadian people are middle roaders.

Leon Charlebois congratulated the "new member from South Cochrane," and Emile Bruncette said that he would get behind this "sincere Candidate."

I have come today beâ€" cause of two things: Doug Bryden is a long standing friend and because regardless whether or not Drew offers good roads, this riding is not Tory." Mr. Campbell‘s voice was at once supple and strong. With â€" ringing tones he castigated the Drew regime. "We sold the cars belonging to the cabinet ministers after we got in last time, this time we‘ll sell that Hydro TIMMINS, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, MAY 20th, 1948 plane which cost $170,000 “ J iJ 4 CA A aA A LE tS TB 4 BA 4# 4A 4* ...\l lll1|.| %‘:00000’0000000000000’000000000:0:‘:0.:’0. v:’:‘.”":.z’NWWI’\;’\’IW;‘.MI‘(NM!‘““‘.’.’"’QQ..‘.QQRN...QQN _ o uts se ; ()j Commerce LIMITED W“Q”’W’Q Lining up miniature cars on a by use of mirrors appears to be 20 checks his judgment of distance driving ability. the government Sponsored by best target in this campaign.

Me of the Liberal Party welcome an election at this time. "Mr. Drew would be a dictator if he could be, he has shown that in all his political life." Mr. Campbell ithem: listed all the broadcasts which had been given by Mr. Drew in which he had talked sbout the varous work of his cabinet ministers;: whh they should ‘have been talking about. ‘"There is only one reason why he did this," said Mr. "Either he doesn‘t trust his ministers or he wants to be known as the man who knows everything aâ€" bout government. "I have become chairman of the Liberal Campaign Committee because we have a man in power in this proâ€" vince who wants to be a dictator. He is afraid to trust you the people, and afraid to trust his ministers. "Government at Queen‘s Park "reâ€" quires a teaim. Each cabinet minâ€" ister must be able to stand on his own feet: We can‘t have a team with only one spokesman for the others â€" that is plainly dictatorship. "Drew promised to put the departâ€" ment of Lands and Forests vader a commission and have it administered like the Hydroâ€"Electric Commission. no commissioners were appointed. A report by Howard Kenedy â€" damned the Department of and Forests which was running the department into the ground. "In hisâ€"report: Kenedy wrote, "The decline in the Lumber Industry canâ€" not be explained by saying that the expansion of the Pulp and Paper inâ€" dustry makes. up, for it. Inâ€" other provinces there has been an increase. in both industries. i "The Drew government has lost all _consideration . of . the value of a dolâ€" Jar, thundered Colin Campbell. "The budget is now $250,000,000 but there are no increased services. Roads are in poorer shape although there is an increase in the gasoline tax, The threat of ghe government to bring in amusement taxes is too much. The way the government has foolishly spent the peoples money On Ontario House in England is an example of their wild spending.

We sold the cabinet ministers cars in 1937 and this time we‘l; sell the Hydro official‘s plane." Mr. Campbell said that the Liberal platform was to increase the old age pensions from $30 to $40. ‘"The Conâ€" servatives say that they have been doing that, but you have to be desâ€" titute before you get it." "We intend to aid hospitals that have deficits And we will grant these things whether or not the Domâ€" a roadway which 20 ft. long, a driver ce as it affects his Published inion government gets out of the am usement tax field.
