MUR BOWEN FOR DURHA&M FItOM 'THE 'MOXTItEAL STAND)ARD' There are a few distinctive char- acters in thie Iouse of Commons at Ottawva. not frequently heard in deijate and of a particularly quiet and unassumning type who neyer- t heless possess unquestioned influ- ence and prestige. A Sounîd Iteprescntative A conspicuous exaniple of the class is Fred W. Bowen, niember for Durham. Air. Bowen can express hilmselt with clearness and force, but he is an infrequent participator in de- bate. Nevertheless no sounder repre- sentative of the Conservative cause sits behind Aic. Bennett. His popu- larity is widespread. That Is why he recelved on Wednesday of this week, the happy felicitations of his many frlends on the occasion of bis 5Sth birthday. Of United Empire Loyallst Stock Froni his eacliest youtli, AIc. Bowen inspired the ce-action of re- spect. Neyer POMPOUS, or lacking ini that innate courteay whlch is the hallrnark of the thoroughbced, he always took life seciously and somne- thing to be lived on the highest possible plane. These chacactecistics corne to him naturally. His fore- bears of the fine United Empire LoYalist stock saccificed place, posi- tion and comfoct when they left the United States shortly after the Reî-olution to find a new homie in Ontario.

Active in Publie Affaira A successful fariner, like niany of his forebears, Nlc. Bowen was al- ways ready to take a practical part in pubulic affairs. For nîany years he ivas a councillor of Clarke Town- shlî and Inter reeve oif Clarke Town- shiip. Also Warden of Northumbec- land & Durhanm. When a mian of outstanding quai- itv ivas sought to contest Durhant ini 1921 for the Conservatives, Nir. Bowen was the unanimous choie. The wisdom of the selection was shwn by bis success at the poils. Defeatcd Hon, Vincent Massey In the contest of 1925 nuany thouglît that Mc. Bowen would go down te defeat. In that battie lis opponent ivas a ceai doughty adver- sary. no less a person than Hon. Vincent Massey, Canada's former Ministec to the United States. But even the prestige of an eminent nanie, great wealth and a strlking Personality failed to slîake the firm hold of Mr. Bowen on the loyalty of the county. Strong Hold on Constituenci' Not onlY was lie triumphant in 1925, but again in 1926, and it 1,; the opinion of those best quallfied to speak that sonîething like a superman would have to oppose hxm with any prospect of success in the comlng campaign since in 1930 lie was again successful foc bis pacty by a majority cf over 1600. BENNETT FOR CANA&DA -ê. On Monday next the electers of Canada will go te the pols te decide wbich party will form the government of Canada for the next five years. In 1930, follow- ing the market crash, and the ever meunting unempleymnent under the Mackenzie King regime, Rt. Hon. R. B. Bennett was giv- en a mandate by the people of Canada te carry Canada safely through the depression and return it te presperity. Mr. Bennett, hampered by an oppose everything- opposition headed by Mr. King, and buffet- ed by the worst world wide de- pressions in history, manfully stuck te bis guns, and according te League of Nations figures te- day leads the whole world in re- covery from the depression. Canada is proud of Mr. Ben- nett's achievements. Canada is proud of the British Empire Agreements whicb have brought millions in new trade te Canada. Canada s proinefaMr.rennett' courageous stand against Com- munism in this Dominion. Can- ada is proud of Mr. Bennett's re- forM pregram. Mr. Bennett bas been accused proposas, but his real sincerity is seen by the fact that thiese re- forms are already on the statute books of Caniada, enacted to bring their benefits ta the whole Dominion. Mr. Bennett has saved Cana. dian industry. BY tariffs hee bas protected Canadian workmen's jobs. He bas prevented cheap foreign labour from rnaking it possible te undersel Canadian workers. Next Monday you will bave te take your choice. You are asked te vote between Mr. King, who in nine long years did nothing ta prtect Canadian industry or avert the depression, and Mr. Bennett, who has brought Can- ada -safely through the deprea- sien. if you want a man of real ac-. tien - who has demonstrated ac- tion in legislation and flot mere words - you'l vote next Mon- day for the return of the Bernett Goverrnment - and in Durham for Mr. Bennetts supporter, Fred W. Bowen.

RE-ELECT BOWEN IN DURHAM BENNETT WHEAT POLICYJUSTIFIED In spite of the constant hammerings of Mr. King and the Liberal Party, Mr. Bennett refused to throw Canada's wheat on gîutted world markets at rum- mage sale prices. Bennett knew Canada's wheat was worth more than 40 cents or 50 cents a bushel. He insisted en holding it for a better market. To- day that market ha& arrived. We have dollar wheat. And Canada has 200 million bushels carryover in addition to this year's crop. Markets Under Mr. King and Markets Under Mr. Bennett Before the Liberals were elected in 192 1 Canadian farmers en- joyed a splendid market in the United States, as can be seen in the first column below. What was left of this market after the United States got through with Mr. King is shown in the second cohimn. Ail United States tariffs raised against Canadian farma produce were made against Mr. King. No tariff raises have been made since Mr. Bennett was elected.
