* ALLEN TO-DAY CONWAY TEARLE "AFTER MIDNIGHT" YEAR 88; No. 350, BIG WELCOME T0 CAMPBELL By the Army And Navy Vet- erans on Friday Even- ing. J. M. Campbell, Liberal candidate, received a great welcome when he visited the headquarters of the Army and Navy Veterans on Friday even- ing. When he entered the large as- sembly hall there was prolonged cheering which clearly showed that it was a Campbell meeting. There were between three and four hue- dred present. Mr. Campbell spoke for some time ou the questions which the electors have before them at the present time, He showed how it was the policy of the Liberal party, if elected, to re- | vise the tariff downwards on the ne- cessities of life and on luxuries the tariff would be revised upwards, Mr. Campbell- spoke of the harbor devel- opments, the deepning of Lawrence and many local 'matters. He also took occasion to congratu- | late the staffs of the Sydenham and Mowat hospitals for the good treat- ment which they had accorded the | patients. During the evening Mr. Campbell was asked a number of questions and he was able to answer a'l to the en: tire satisfaction of tie meeting. One rian asked "Why the members of parliament had voted to increase their own indemnity and had not in- creased the pay of the soldier." Mr. | Campbell's answer to that question war that the Meighen government was to blame, Another question asked, what was the position of the Liberal govern- ment with respect to the re-ostab- lishment of the returned men, and { Mr. Campbell quoted the following statement made by W. L. Mackenzio | { King: Throw All Open Again, "I believe that the whole matter of further re-establishment of sold- fers and all questions incidental thereto should be re-opened and re- considered by which fortunately will be more re- presentative in its character than the parlaiment which has just been dis- solved. In this connection 1 would favor the appointment, at the next session of parliament of a commit. tee of the House of Commons em- powered to take into consideration all of the suggestions contained in the re-establishment proposals sub- committee. I would further favor thle committee being given the widest powers to consider all matters rele- vant to these proposals, and having no restrictions placed upon its find- ings by the government." One veteran asked "Why it was that more industries did not eome to Kingston," and Mr, Campben stated i that at the present time there were not avallable sites for industries and it would be necessary to purchase more factory siteg and the industries would have reason to come to King- ston, At the close of the gpeeches thosa present spent an hour or so in a so- cial way, The meeting was twice as Jarge as the meeting held in the in- terests of Dr. Ross, the Conservative candidate, McNAMARA?
