CONSERVATIVE PICNIC HAS 1 FEAST 0F ORATORY In order to stir up more interest and enthusiasm in tht election cami- paign ini Durham which has been le- markabiy quiet to date, Bow-manville Conservative Association decide 1 on the present pokuiar fad of holding a "monster picnic", which took place 'at!tht famous Creaze of Barley Tour- ist Camp hast Saturday afternoon. It requi'red nmore than the usual an- nouncentent that tht Premier of On- tarie, Conservative moguls and other stump campaign orators weuld hoid forth te induce tht worthy stalwarts froin tht highways and byw'ays o at- tend the picnic. It was extensive- ly advertised that two brasas bands, a troup of comedians front Torenta and circus cljowns would be on hand te entertain, if net sto inforit and in- struct the thirst-for-knowledgt tlect- ors on t issues of tht campaign and show bow they should vote. Premier G. Howard Ferguson fail- ed te put in an appearance as he evi- dently preferred te bob-no-b at the Canadian National Exhibition with tht Indian Potentate Babadur Diwan, wbo opened tht big show, rather than take an afterneoon off te talk, ohake hands and mingle witb tht good pteople of Durham. Some, ne doubt remarktd, "that's jmt like Fergit strong on promises but poor on fulfilling thent". Anyway, tht crowd didn't miss much, for there were plenty of ether speakers on band te criticise and condemn the Kfii administration, altbough tbey bad littît te effer ie a constructive way as te vohat tht Conservative policy would be if Mr. Meigben should happen oe be elected for onc.e by tht will of the people. Tbat's tht strong part of these Tery meetings-tht speakers are se busy slandering and abusing tht opposition party and dealing in pergonalities tbat they, intentionaliy or otherwise, say very hile about the "grand old national policy ef brick for -brick .higher protection', whioh makes living se costly ta the masses. Not a speaker had a go.od word te Say ab>out tht Robb Budget, which is adntitted on ail skIes as a budget favoring tht workingman, tht con- sumer, tht producer and which is bringing te Canada generai presper- l'y. 0f course, thty dîdn't tell their audience tht King Administration tbrongb tht Réehb Budget brought down tht higb ctt-tf living; gave Canada a cheaper- ratè of postage; a reduction or removal of the fax an limited incomes, cheaper auto- mobiles and agricultural aiplements, tht optning of new markets and old age pensions. And ta think that our o-wn met- ber foer Durat,ý Fred W. Bowen- voted against eve;ry item in tht Robb Budget which would tend te reduce tihe cost of living te tht people wlbo elected blet! What greuind bas he inow for going te these citizens and asking then tet reelet 'him? Conting back te ttht picnic: Among the speakers were Fred W. Bowen, A. J. Fallis, M. P. P., Dr. Forbes Godfrty, Arthur J. Trebilcoek, W. E. Tunîmon and A. J. Anderson anîd tht chairinan C. E. Rthdtr, Pi-tsi- dent of the Bowmianville Conserva- tive Association. Tht popular concenstis af opinion was tihet Mr. Trebilceck, a 'Bowman- ville boy, gave the address of tht 'afternoon. If Arthur ketps on stunvping in snob an effective man- ner local Tories migbt do a lot worse bban offer it the nomination in the near future. As for the other outsidt speakers they handed -out a lot of bunceYmbe and rehashed pelitical boemb'st w'hich was an insuit te tht intelligence ot tht electors cf Duram. For in- stance, who believed what Mr. An- derson said-that the automobile companies, wth exception of Ford, were flot making nstoney? That twadle may go in saime of Mr. An- derson's wards In Toronto but no- among tht intelligent thinkîng people of this riding-too near Genra Mo-tors, Oshawa The Conservatives were higbly pieased with tht picnic, se wby cont- plain or cause an argument? This is election time. Everybody should be tolorant toward lus neighber who hasn't dense tnougb te set and vcte as yen do.

Milton Sander- son of Birchiff Heigbts, Toronto, LETTER NO. 5 To the Electors of Durham:- A year ago we were told that Canada was on the verge of ruin and that unleassa Conservative Governinent was tlected and Conservative policy put into practice, the ruin wouid be coin- pleted. Factories would close, railways would collapse for lack of trafflc and peo-pie would flee tht country. What bias happened? A Conservative Governinent was not elec'ted and Conser- vative policy was not put into practice. A body of representa- tives composed of Liberais, Progressives and others, took the ltad. Thty were piedged te consider tht interests of ail citi- zens in every part of tht Dominion and te, give no special ad- vantage ta any class or section. To this end, they mnade reduc- tions in tht customts tariff, reduced taxation and made other advances in line with their professed palcy. Under this section tht following happ>entd :-The consum- er found the prices of many of hi& necesalties, particularly tht implemtnts of production, re'ductd. Tht primary producer, namnely the fariner, rtctived great- Iy improved prices for bis produce. The manufacturer did an increasing volume of business. For instance, "General Motors" cf Oshawa, are running every night this week. Merciients are finding collections good. Workmen find work everywhere at gaod wages. Mr. Meighen ays this sheuld b. changed and if returned to power he pro-mises te make a change. Dots it sotie good business? Rad it not been far party strife, there need have been no risk cf change and no electian. We ail want stable gaverument. How wiil we get it? Even Mr. Meighen's supporters agree that ýhe cannot win many seats. iBy supporting himi we rue tthe risk of again holding txp the poie)> under which we are prosperons. The policy for which I stand is this policy which fasters proa- perity. To continue it I shaill Jin wholehearttdly. Fret fraie party ties I bave ne interest in hushing up, or winking at wrong- daing ie the custoême department or auy atiier deparbmeet of goernment under any party. Mon in potwer holding this polley whlds givea fair considera- flan ta ail, is our eely hope of stable Wo'ernment. Conslder these factsanmd contentions bef ors yea vote.
