Noinnations were closed. Mr. James, ein addressing the over- Xlow crowd, claimed it a real privil- ege to represent Durhim for the past ifour years at Ottawa. It was also an honour to study under sucih great men as Leslie Pearson and to learn how things operated in Canada and tiroughout the world. His policy, he said was to represent everyone, re- gardless cf polities for he further dlimed that one could not have a narrow county or provincial outlook. Mr. James said he has yet to feel ;aiything but pride in the iwork of the government over the past four years. Having served on committees he was aware that the government centrolled their spendings. However he did not claim that mistakes were not made for there were bound to be manitakes if the government was act- îve in advaucements. If the govern- ment did nothing then tihere would bec no mistakes. He pointed out that ie would be highly honoured to be back with the government after Au- gust 10th. Mre.

He poited oit 1that whi4e op- position parties accused the CLiberal Government of extravagance, they dlid not--and could not-charge cor- ruption. The claimp that the Government had been contemptuous of the rightsi of Parlianent appeared weak ln view of- the fact that Parliament hadl sat, in the past four years, "probably longer than any Parliament since Confederation.
