i ----_----------------------.., BARRIEFIELD, MONDAY. ' ------ There Was Talk of Crookedness at the Convention, and of Money to he Spent in the Coming Election. At two o'clock on Monday after- noo a well-attended nomination meeting in the township hall at Ba 'was edlled to order afier Jd. A y had read the nomina- tion list. Anthony Rankin, former member, gave a thirty minute speech. Spankie forty -minutes and ' ten minutes, kin quoted figures show- ing what he bad done for the county and what the Whitpey administration bad done for the province. He show- ¢d that the revenue had been in- creased. by no direct taxation. The Whitney goversment had contribut- ed more than a million of dollars for educafional purposes. The agricul tural necessities had been particular- ly well looked after and teachers were being appointed to go through the: country and show the farm- ers advanced ideas in farming. Arrangements have been started, Mr, Rankin said, to have Queen's give a two year course in agriculture and this course could then be comiplefed by one year at Guelph. The bi-lingual school question wae pext dealt with. He said that the VWhitney government was absoluie- ly epposed to bi-lingual schools, Sir. Janes' opinion was to keep Ontario a8 it 18 af present a strictly English j rovinte, The temperance issue was next | touched on. The number of licenses Lud gradually decreased and the re- venue had increased. Premier Whit- rey had spent ome hundred dollars to every dollar that the liberal ad- ministratipn had spent to enforce the liquor license laws, The three big agts that he claimed credit for the Whitney government were the Work- man's Compensation Act, the High-| way Improvement act and the Radi-| cal Liges aet. i In connection with the Highway act. Mr. Rankin had been appointe:i cne of the commisgioners that had brought in a numb@r of resolutions The grant requested was thirty mil- hon dollars for good roads to be spent in_a period bf fifteen years. The ¢ity would by this act be com- pelled to supply a big percentage of the money. THis was right, as city owned automobiles used the roads to 4 greater extent. Mr. Rankin said that he had un- derstood Dr. Spankie had issued cards with a brief note that he hav- ing travelled over all of Frontenac ns | school inspector, knew more about the Shunty roads than Mr. Rankin. Hn y- the afn roads were the most important. It was nearly time thet the farmers of Frontenac were recéiving their fair share of the roid subsidies. The farmers owned sixty per cent. more automobiles this yedaf than last and for this reason the roads should be Improved. He sdid that four demonstrators from the institution at Guelph were com- ing in the near future to show the farmers of the county the value of modern drainage s¥stems. There was loud applause as Be finished his speech. DF." 'Spankie said that- he could produce a man who was asked by Mr Rankin, himself, to attend "a Rankin meeting" Ih referring to the conven- tion that was called to appoins. the conservative delegates for the town- ship o gston. A man interrupt- ed the d emark and con- tradicted his statement. Dr. Spankie immediately offered to lay a hun- dred dollars on the table as a bet that he could name a man. This inci- | dent elicited loud applause. i In referting to the published no- tice of the meeting in question Dr. Spankie said that as far as he could learn copies of the papers containing the noticéd had never been distribut- ed. This not disputed. He ans- wered Nr. Rankin's remark about the card he had issued. He said that what he =" _on the card was exact- ly what be meant and that he did know more about the roads in the county than Mr. Rankin, By being a candidate he was doing the same as Hon: Mr, hie, who was the minis- ter of public works under Sir James Whitney, He was euchred out of the nomination by crooked work and was running in spite of the clique that would nat act henestly. Dr. Spankie received jd applause when he re- ferred to Wis idea of how the pres- ent schopl system ought to be im- preved. s in then spoke in reply. | by a mansin the hall e had received 'while on Soy mission, He replied nd ed six dollars a day {, 404 'ina dollars while in er at work surveying 'of Wolte Island, to sugges! fenits, He said this po- ot an election scheme, but p ng out of plans ado- said that he could name offered money and re- for Dr. Spankie at the on.
