politics arc the curse of this country 1 went down there to c ray country irrespective of any party and what has it brought me nothng tut tut miss mcphail is that whatyou call an 18 year job at 4 000 a year however we do hink that serious consideration should be given to the appointment of agnes mcphail to the senate in 18 years of representing the farmer and his pioblems in federl politics she has surely earned the right to serve her country further a letter to the editor in rm weeks chesley enterprise ls per iap the nnswer to the mcphail iklcat to the editor the cheslej hn crprisc in reading the comments in the diflerent weeklies on the i f miss mophiil in the recent ejection i would like to say there was one rtason in particular why we did not elect her i had at all times supported miss mcphail with my vote and influence and might say was proud of an elector lie who chose such- an able representative in the house of commons but when the government declared war on germany last september and began to mobilize her forces awarded large contracts for munitions of war and shipbuilding etc we felt it our duty to get behind the government so there would be as little frio ion as possible in carrjinir out their war efforts personally i thought mr king should ha taken into his cabinet some outstanding conservative members neither did i agree with his sudden dissolution of parliament i felt he took advan age of an opportune time for which he may have to ai swer at some future time we thought it tinwise to support either national government or independ candidates knowing full well they could not be held re sponsible for the war work the king government had already begun in short it is bad business to swap horses in mid stream we feel jus as proud of our electorate in choosing mr w e harris a our representa tive to support the king government in their war efforts as when we rolled up huge majorities for miss mcphail in peace lime i am sure our enemv could find little comfort oi encouragement in the canadian election which was our aim forest trees for distribution mls mephail has- nothing- to regret to uiv knowledge in her i fnslilvp i regard surely at eighteen years of faithful service in south grey and greybruce there is not a single stain on any of her efforts to better conditions of farmers and laborers and so her work will not
