M. Chapman Tells U.F.0. Toward Farmers IN TH gressive Party--Severel paign Tactics--Appeal t Up Election Deficit Not discouraged by their defeat in the last Federal election, the Pro- gressive forces in South Ontario, judging from the optimistic feeling which prevailed at a rally of the faithful held at Brooklin Saturday afternoon, can he counted upon to place a man in the field at the next provincial election, A more determined effort is to be made between now and that time tc bring the Progressive organiza- tion up to an efficient and satisfac- tory standard. Lack of organiza- { tion, the feeling generally prevailed |at the meeting, contributed largely | to the defeat of the Progressive can- | didate in December; together with | the antagonism of the urban centres | towards the dwellers in the rural | sec ctions. The opinion was freely ex- | pres ssed that organization was lack- {ing among the farmers, and educa- [tion in the urban centres was needed to bring about a better understand- five and feeling between the farmers, | the manufacturer, business man and city worker. Confidence in Government | The meeting of the U.F.0. Politi- {cal Association of the riding Satur- !day was well attended, members {eoming long distances, despite the heavy, icy roads which rendered travelling difficult. Two outstand- ing features of the meeting were an {address by Mr. F. M. Chapman, de- | feated Progressive candidate in the | Federal election who was enthusi- | astically received and gave a splen- {did address, and the passing of a iresolution expressing confidence in rthe Drury Governuent. The» feso~ lution reads: "We, the Progressive organ- ization of South Ontraio, desire to place on record our confid- ence in the government of Hon. i. C. Drury in the Province of Ontario; specially do we ap- preciate the attitude of the Government in protecting the people's rights in the distribu- tion of Hydro power, the good roads policy as administered by the Department of Public Highways, and the stand taken in the interests of temperance, and we hereby pledge our loyal support." The meeting was presided over by President John Forgie, | reeve of Pickering, with Hugh Pugh, ex-reeve of that township, as secre- tary.

The Situation at Otta Reviewing the result of elpe-~ tion in Canada, Mr. Chapman Was of the opinion that it would have been much better had Hon. My, Crerar been returned as head of the govern- ment. This was already manifest in the situation in Ottawa today. Had Mr. Crerar become, premier there would not be the solid Quebec the religious question which promised to become a serious factor, and many other like problems now fae- ing the government. With Mr. Cre- rar in power Quebec would bave been split, and the Catholic and Prot. estant question not a live issue as it is today. Mr. Crerar was undoubt- edly the man to place in power to settle our national problems, a task which could not successfully be un- dertaken by the two old political parties. Must Broaden Out Commenting on the solid urban vote, 80 per cent., polled in the west for the Progressive cause, as com- pared with the very small vote in the east, Mr. Chapntan thought there was mueh food for thought. "We will have to get together and let the people see that in reality ours is really a national movement, when we appeal to people as a po» litical organization, we will have to broaden out and take into our ranks and confidence all in sympathy with us," he declared. Personally he did not regret the step be bad taken 1 the last election. To the right and broad principles for whieh he and his party stood he would still ad- here. He had put up a clean fight. While his personal loss might dis- courage others from running in fu- ture elections, yet he was willing to make some contribution to the prin- ciples and cause for which the par- ty he represented stood. Takes Sinclair to Task Speaking of the preesnt political situation in South Ontario, Mn Chapman reminded his hearers that to place a Progressive candidate in the field at the mext provincial elec- tion was easier said than done. At the recent Federal election, re stated, people at the last moment forsook their party principles be- cause of the strong pull exerted on (Continued on page 2) NOTED PREACHER I5 COMING HERE Rev.
